Unfortunately, I think we can blame GoDaddy for the missing posts. I needed to make a couple of changes with the host and it required an update that had to be made with GoDaddy (where the domain is registered). I made the change and GoDaddy, but it didn’t take effect. This caused the site to go down again today. I contacted the host and they told me the change didn’t happen. So, I had to go make the change at GoDaddy again. It looks like it worked correctly this time.

I would try to replicate my posts but I can't even remember what I said 5 minutes ago.

My wife says I do that a lot.  I've no idea what she is talking about.

Whatever the issue, it is up and operating, now, so let's count our blessings. OK, so we lost posts from the past few weeks. No crisis. Let's just pick up where we left off, and keep moving forward.
To those administering and managing, RefStripes, Thank You for keeping this going.

According to the host, there shouldn't be any more issues.  There are a multitude of reasons (one big reason) we've seen some issues over the past few years, but I won't get into those.  They make my blood pressure go up.   :(

Easy. Take a breath. Ah, that's better.
OK. We are here to help. Let us know what we might need to do to help, whether that be in how we participate, or how well we "support" this web site. We can fix either.

Oh, I'm fine.  The main reason has nothing to do with anyone on here or anyone who has ever been on here...and it's in the past.  There are several who donate regularly and that pays most of the bills to keep everything up and running.  You guys just keep doing what you are doing to help us all to learn and become better officials. 

If there are things any of you would like to see on here to make the discussion board better, let me know and I'll see if I can make it happen.
