I rebooted the server that instance runs on.  It requires an old operating system, so it chokes up every so often and needs a kick to get going again.

He happened to be traveling to Wilton Manors in the last year.  I saw him in one of the bars hanging out, but did not have an engagement with him.  He looks like his photos while standing across the room.

I have reason to suspect at least one account posting in this thread may be the provider himself as:
- that account was just recently created 
- that account has reported multiple topics that discuss the provider which were not found to be in violation of our community guidelines. 
- that account also has an over the top glowing review of the provider.
Normally any one of three would not be suspicious, but combining all three does give me pause.  Take that for what you will. 

Greetings folks...
As you might have noticed, this site has been offline since around mid-day Tuesday.   Our prior hosting provider decided that they are unable to continue hosting our website and had ended service to us.  Unfortunately they did not provide any notification to me about this decision and I was forced to move the site to a new server without any sort of heads up.  This includes arranging for the new hosting company, configuring the new server to meet the technical requirements, getting a copy of our current data, restoring that data (over 300GB of files), recovering the database (over 18.5 million records in that database taking up 11GB of space for the DB alone), and reconfiguring the software itself to run in the new environment.  
While migrating there was also some technical issues that I ran into that required me to coordinate with Invision's technical support team.  So that back and forth added additional time to the mix as well.  
And to pile on further… all of this occurred while I'm traveling for my day job. So I've been doing this while in a hotel in between doing my day job on the road.  
There are most likely several other things that will need to be fixed still and I'm working through them.  For example, email may only be partially working.  I still need to setup things like SPF and DKIM for the new server so our emails don't flag as spam.  There are other settings that might need to be redone to work in the new server as well that I'm not thinking about yet.  (As you might have imagined, I've not had much sleep during this whole process.)
But anyway... you get the idea.  No... we're not going anywhere!  This was a minor setback but we'll continue to move forward.  Thank you all for your understanding and support!

Some of you have noticed that my activity on the site has been more limited than usual for a while. Over the last six months, I’ve been pouring most of my time, energy, and sanity into a major project. The moderators have known at a high level what has been going on, but I’m finally at the point where I can share it openly with everyone here.
Eagle Medellín is my newest project. It is the first Eagle bar in Colombia and only the second in all of South America (the other being São Paulo, Brazil). It's located in Medellín’s El Poblado neighborhood... literally across the street from Club Oráculo and one street over from Bar Chiquita for those who know the area.
We’re building a space rooted in energy, masculinity, music, and freedom.  Think leather. Think connection. Think a night that belongs fully to the men who step inside.
Our goal is simple: deliver the experience people expect from an Eagle.  Leather. Fetish. Kink. Presence. Attitude. A place where men can show up exactly as they are.
Eagle Medellín is split into multiple zones, each with its own vibe:
Front mezzanine: an open-air second floor level overlooking the main street that is more chill and social.
Main floor: the main dance floor, the main bar, and a dedicated VIP zone.
Second floor play area: our full cruising space with its own bar. Yes, we’ll have tires, chains, structure pieces, and all the atmosphere you expect.
Back upstairs patio: an outdoor smoking and hangout area.
The entire concept blends sexuality and music into one continuous experience.
Alongside local and international DJs, we’ll feature:
Hombres del Águila (Men of the Eagle): dancers who embody the look, attitude, and energy of the Eagle brand
Guest porn stars
Rotating performers and themed nights
We want Eagle Medellín to become a must-visit spot not just for locals, but for travelers, working guys, and anyone who values a space that’s kink-positive and judgment-free.
Our grand opening is next Friday evening. There is still a long list of things we’re racing to finish, but at this point I’m confident we’re opening. Some details/features may evolve as we settle in, but the doors will be open, the music will be loud, the drinks will be strong, and the energy will be exactly what an Eagle should feel like.
I’m incredibly excited about this project and what it means for the community. I know some of you pass through Medellín and Colombia. If you do, I hope you’ll check out what we’re building.  This is something I’ve put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into, and I hope it will live up to the high expectations of the iconic Eagle legacy.
For transparency...  I'm one of four owners who share an equal stake in the venture.  When I talk about "my" club, it's a venture with some of my closest friends.  We're all committed to making this an area that will be a destination for those who enjoy what an Eagle is all about.  
I'll toss out the social media links in case anyone is interested.  And before anyone asks... yes, I checked with the site owners here to make sure he was cool with this spamvertising! 🤪.  I also checked to make sure it was OK with me posting this in the Lounge instead of The Americas for South America travel!  🙃
