  1. Thanks
    RadioRob got a reaction from BSR in JeremyJacobsXXX NYC currently   
    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.

    All of the moderators have my phone number. I explained what was happening to everyone that pinged me. I did not have my offline list as this happened while I was traveling for my day job. (Yes a perfect storm of crap to happen at once!)

    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!

    RadioRob got a reaction from thomas in New PO Box Address for the Site   
    As many of you might know, I moved from the Washington DC metro area down to Wilton Manors, FL earlier this year.  As a result, I had to change our site's PO Box.  
    If you need to send anything, please use the following address instead of the old Alexandria, VA one:
    The Company of Men
    C/O RadioRob Enterprises
    3296 N Federal Hwy #11104
    Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33306
    We generally don't get a lot of physical mail, but some use it so I'm going to continue supporting it.   I signed up for Informed Delivery for the box, but I don't know how well it works...  as a result, if you send something drop me a note so I know to make a trip to go check it! 
    I have updated the various places on the site that I know that reference it including the site footer, the privacy policy, email footer, and the offline checkout option in the online store.  If there is anywhere else I missed, feel free to make fun of me and I'll correct it.  
    Thanks!

    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!
    Rob
