Day 1 of the new website software did not get off to a good start. Suffice it to say that I ran too many database queries simultaneously, and succeeded in crashing the mysql (database) server on the hosting machine that the website uses. This is not reflective of the new software, just that I was trying to execute too many queries on LARGE databases simultaneously. My bad.
I had to roll back 8 hours to a previous database backup, should not really impact anybody at all.
Since the previous post is no longer on the website, I will reiterate what I have been up to....
I installed a brand new forum, utilizing the software called XENFORO, replacing the old vBulletin software. I have evaluated this new software over the last 5 months on a test server, and transitioned the website this weekend. There are of course many cosmetic and feature changes that will come with this new software. For those that were unaware, I have had significant difficulties keeping the vBulletin software running, and have grown tired of their numerous updates and buggy software that has forced me to look for a new solution. Hence the shift to the new forum software called XENFORO. This is a start up company with the original team that helped create the very successful vBulletin 3.0 series, and is now running their own company and putting out a pretty amazing alternative.
NOTE: during the transition, ANYONE with multiple accounts utilizing the same email, your accounts were merged to the first created instance (username) that you registered with. I will gladly reset passwords, and rename your usernames to what you desire. PM me on the website, or send me an email at admin@airwarriors.com.
Enjoy the new forum, and Happy Independence Day!
