Hercules HQ Message board e-mail
by Guest- 3 replies
- 2.4k views
For those who have received the e-mail below and have expressed concern or have questions: It is not a scam nor is it a new addition to the site. The old message board Scott set up for Hercules HQ was never deleted, it was only closed to new posts thus allowing it to remain as an archive. EZ Board has been taken over by Yuku.com and sent the e-mail. The board will continue to remain closed to new post and to serve as an archive only until Scott or the new company removes it. Casey We're emailing you because you are a member of http://p094.ezboard.com/bc130herculesheadquarters on ezboard and something exciting has happened today! C-130 Hercules HQ Messa…

The domain HerculesHeadquarters.com finally became available so I purchased it. I have setup a temporary redirect which allow the site to be accessed via the address http://www.herculesheadquarters.com I will add it as a permanent alias for HB later. At this time, I have no intention to change the site name, just wanted the domain name.

I was doing some maintenance on the site tonight and discovered that the LSN permissions were messed up. If you have been unable to access some or all of the issues, please accept my apology. The error should now be resolved. If you have never "thumbed through" the LSN, I suggest you do. Most anyone is sure to find something, if not many things, that interests them. http://www.c-130hercules.net/content.php?r=221-lockheed-service-news

I have added a new page Latest C-130 Fleet Updates to the C-130 Database. It displays the latest update for each aircraft sorted by date (the date for update, not the entered date). You can view the entire profile for an aircraft by clicking the blue aircraft c/n. I hope you find it useful. --Casey

As you all know, this site is about more than the C-130. Discussions regarding Veteran benefits are quite popular and through these discussions, several visitors have receive valuable, even life changing, assistance. Therefore, I found it worthwhile to create a new forum for these discussions. The new forum US Armed Forces Veterans Discussion is divided into two sections: VA Benefits and Other Benefits. I looked through the forums and move several threads into the VA Benefits forum. If there are other threads that should be moved to this area, let me know and I will move them as well. Additionally, if you see a need for additional forums, let me know and I will loo…

Earlier today a member made a comment in the forum that I believe was intended to be in "good fun." However, it was insulting to and upset several members of this site. To those members I apologize. I do not intended to, nor do I feel that I should, closely regulate our forums. However, I must ensure that we maintain an environment that encourages others to join and contribute to the community. Members of this site must be respectful of others regardless. Insults, derogatory comments, etc will not be tolerated. Anyone who violates the policy is subject to immediate and permanent banning. Thanks! Casey

I have moved the site to a new server at Dreamhost.com and I have changed the front page layout. To my knowledge, everything is up and running. You should notice that the site is much faster now and as I perform a few more tweaks, we should see additional improvement. Sorry for any issues that the move may have caused and for the absence of the gallery for the past couple of weeks. --Casey
