Last week, our hosting service had a catastrophic server failure. All customers on the server, including MGO, were completely down.

They began the process of moving the affected customers to alternate servers. Our site was successfully moved to an alternate server, however, there were database compatibility issues preventing the forum software from functioning. Several efforts were made to convert our forum database and make it compatible with the older server, most failed for various reasons.

As of tonight, we have successfully restored the website and forums on a new server.

Obviously, we are taking steps to assure that we are not left at the mercy of a 3rd party again in the future.
