I suggest we use this fabulous resource before we lose it again.

Trying to work out how to become a premium member again as we speak

Payment link doesn't work

[neilrbowen]

It's been moved onto a server with www.modelrockets.co.uk and a few other shops so it should be perfectly safe and secure there for many years. 
I'm not quite sure where the more recent backups are but if I find one I'll bring it even more up to date. The live daily backup had a fault so when the server went down it still created a backup but with no data in it... 

It's all so out of date there's no easy way to update the site, but it will remain running as is. I'll see if I can work out the premium tab after the weekend.

If you're into that sort of thing ;-)

Yep..Im back...in my old disguise

 

It seems any new accounts created from the restored database and todate have been comprised...so for now its back to my old self!

 

Look out for updates for the VX  National Auction folks....there will be lots of good stuff that have been donated

Probably worth grabbing all the guides before this vanishes again

Probably worth grabbing all the guides before this vanishes again

Think it's worth trying to port it somewhere cloudy like the newer forums? Did look into it previously and I'm sure the holster said it could be done

Glad it's back working, thank you for sorting.

I'm signed in but can't use the payment link

Subscriptions system appears fixed.
Email sending in progress.
Admin panel in progress.

Notes:
Subscriptions system was failing due to a missing php module.
Email sending will allow people to register or access the account with lost passwords, the domain needs to be added to google in order to use gmail to send email on it's behalf to achieve this.
The admin panel is failing due to rows now being a reserved word in the more modern SQL server on this hosting.

Email sending bush fix to allow registrations, more work needed.
Licence key has gone missing not fixable, licence checking server for this version no longer exists.

Thanks for all the work you are doing, it would be a shame to lose such a great resource.
