Thanks Plunderer for working through Saturday night into the wee hours, and much of today to fix the board back up for us.



Clearly the data base files were overwhelmed, perhaps lost. I don't care about the old data files at all. In fact having them lost removes a worry that my real life name, and exactly where I live could be compromised because over time those personal comments I make about my real life add details, making it so someone from the outside could possibly figure out from them who I am, and find my actual address.

I've seen another older BB board build up too much data in it's files, and because of that become slow and unstable. A good pruning of the files seems to bring back the performance of older boards.

A clean rebuild will prevent a lot of those duplicate posts some members have been experiencing for the last couple years, which are largely due to slow response time of the board.

Whatever happened, THANK YOU for not just walking away when it happened, which most folks would do considering you dont get much personal pleasure out of this place I bet.

Thanks again!
