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 …

The message below was sent to several members of the forums via private message. Hey, I'm new here, how's it going? "The most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently" - Pema Chodron --- Serendipity http://alturl.com/yqii Try as I might, it is impossible to police every member, message, etc, all the time. Thank you to those who have reported the message and to those who were spammed, please accept my apologies. I checked the link and it appears to be an annoying, yet harmless advertising ploy. Please remember: Never click on links in posts, p…

I just noticed that the C-130 Groups Discussion forums were set to sort by thread title. They have been corrected/changed to sort by last post ascending. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Casey, I've noticed some advertisements showing up on the web site. I guess if more people had donated to your cause, the ads wouldn't have been a neccessity. I know you have put a lot of your own money into this site. Too bad more people couldn't have sent you a few bucks. Don R.

Can we look into getting a mobile version of the site? If you need help setting it up I would be able to point you in the right direction. Simply making a subdomain and installing a mobile style and a simple redirect is all you need to do. Also, there are systems called berryblab and tapatalk.com which let you read the forum easily through apps on your blackberry and iphone respectively. I have all three of these on my site and it makes access to your site better.

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…

I have restored the "Today in C-130 History" block to the main page (just below the "C-130 Forum Post Feed") and fixed the "Today in C-130 History" Database page. The Database page is not visually perfect but I believe all the functionality is there. If not, please let me know. I'll catch the visuals later. --Casey

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 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
