Sorry for the delay

[webmdave]

Things are moving forward, but not nearly as quickly as I'd hoped.

Regardless, thanks to the generosity of a dozen of the members here, we've been able to aquire a nice home for the forums that should provide us a much more satsifactory experience as well as plenty of room to grow. I've also been able to hire professional assistance to ensure there are no PIA glitches in the transfer or at anytime in the foreseeable future.

Thank you to everyone for your support and patience.

I'm hoping to have things running before the weekend, but thank you for your understanding in case it takes until sometime next week.

Thanks for the update. And hey, kudos to all of us for bringing the Chip-In up 2/3 of the way within a couple days.

Good luck w/ all of this - sounds like a major pain.

No worries Dave, thanks to this experience we have started to use this website, which is a great complement to the forum. I hope the "ning" will continue even after the forum is up again.

Yeah, I like this application too. I don't plan on shutting it down. We'll keep it and add to it if it gets popular.

More is better, right?

Eh, delays happen. We'll live. 'Til things get up and running again, we'll just have to deal with the shakes.

I only wish I could help out with the cost of the new server. Considering all the benefit I've gained from this place, it would be nice to give something back. Damn auto repairs.

Don't sweat it, Woody. Money and donations is not what this community is all about. That's what religion is all about. If I were in a position where I could front everything, I'd never accept a dime. Maybe I should start playing the Lotto?

Thanks for all your hard work Dave. Without you, there would be no forum in the first place. When our financial situation is better (husband out of the hospital, etc) I'll try to help out where I can.

What? I thought Ex-Christian was a new religion! What's the meaning of life, death, eternity, bread-with-butter-landing-upside-down, and incessant reruns on TV unless we have a religion!? :)

Great are the ORI!

Dave,

Thanks again for all you do, for all of us! Thank you for working diligently in getting ex-C back up and running. I can say for me personally, I'm having major withdrawals not getting my EX-C dose of the day! (I'm sure I'm not alone :D)

I think having the huge amount of traffic which over loaded the servers means ex-C is helping lots more people who are telling more people and so on. I think it's good news in a way.

[webmdave]

Thanks Jappy. I'm getting a bit anxious myself.

And, you're right; the traffic is a good thing.
