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

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…

Thought I would head off any questions. I'm the idiot who nuked the forum. It was an accident, clicked the wrong button. All member uploaded images were lost. I'm sorry, please resubmitt. I'll get to reloading the Production Number Gallery and other images that I have (10,000 or so of them) and reconfiguring everything. Just the way thing have gone lately. When it rains it pours....and pours....and pours... Maybe I can make some improvements with the reload. Again I apologies. --Casey [ATTACH]1702[/ATTACH]

Updated: Google Custom Search
by Guest- 0 replies

All, I have moved the Google custom search to the left side of the main page and set it to display the results in a new window. If you have not discovered/used it yet, check it out. It is best way to locate info on the site. It is so powerful that it will match words in attached/hosted Excel docs, Word docs, PDF docs etc. Opinions? Casey

Site Outage
by Guest- 3 replies
- 2k views
If you visited within the past 24 hours, please accept my apology for the site outage. The good news: The site is continuing to grow in content and membership. The bad news: The server resources the site uses has also grown. Yesterday a tipping point was reached and we "thrown in jail" by our host's "bandwidth police". So what do we do now? I made a few adjustments and I hope that we will stay out of trouble for a bit. However, we we will likely have to upgrade the hosting plan in the near future. This will require me to migrate all the site files and databases to a new provider, not a fun job. A better host will obviously increase the site's operating cost, s…

First, thanks to all those who have e-mailed, texted, pm'ed, etc regarding the site going down. I was heavily involved in restoring the site and did not answered the majority, for that I apologies. I truly appreciate the concern, support and offers of assistance. Here's where we are: The site was hacked last week and multiple malware scripts were loaded to the site. Fortunately, they were just annoying (triggering antivirus alerts, etc.) and not harmful to member's computers. They have been removed and the site has passed a malware scan by Google. Please let me know if your software detects anything. Since the site was down, I chose to proceed with an upgrade …
