The actual server

[fugglefeet]

Hi all,

I remember Joe at one stage providing me with a link to a website to determine the worth of our forum. Initially we didn't amount to much, due to there not being enough information about us. But things have changed and look what we are now worth.

Thanks Joe.

We have become pretty established with all the major search engines without much effort and word of mouth.

Thanks to all for that.

Hi all,

The unobtrusive and unassuming firewall watches diligently over the forum's server. In a 1 hour period, it has blocked 17 attempted hacks without even demanding a pay increase.

These are people that are trying to hack the forum with little to no success.

And it did not cost R40mil to plan and develop.

Hi all,

For those who wondered what happened to the forum. Well wonder no more! Due to a lightning storm yesterday in the greater Klerksdorp, Orkney, Stilfontein and Haartbeespoort area, the ADSL modem was struck by a surge that rendered the forum paralysed and unable to continue until a new modem was purchased and installed.

Thanking all in advance for their patience and understanding.

Thanks for coming to our rescue again Darryl. We will have to start sending the hat around.

Hi all,

Could someone with Tapatalk installed on their smartphone/tablet verify that all is OK on the forum? PM me any problems experienced.

And here is a new feature that gives the last 5 posts, 5 members with the most posts and the 5 newest members that have joined, at a glance:-

Hopefully it should prove a bit faster than the old one.
