Recent Forum down time

[Valtam]

Hi everyone,

Firstly, my apologies for the absence of the Forums since the 19th August.

Since the 19th August, the Forums were unreachable. I'm still yet to receive an explanation from our Host and they certainly got an earful from me on Twitter for this.

I'm still going to move away from a 3rd party web manager to a situation where I have 100% access to our web services. This will take place next year after 18.04 LTS Server is released. If we do this now, we risk completely destroying a 16.04 server with a do release-upgrade. By installing 18.04, we ensure that we have a stable server for 5 years through to 2023, by not engaging in any risky system upgrades.

Thank you for your understanding during this down time.

Also many thanks for your efforts to get more control over LL's web services

Is a whip round needed to finance this server change?
