As most of you know, the website has been down since 1/21/06. My hard drive is failing with a boat load of bad sectors and read errors.
My second Maxtor drive in < 2 years to fail. DO NOT USE MAXTOR!!!

Don't worry, the mods are all still there. I was able to copy all the data to my workstation and will reload when a new server is built.

Please be patient with me while I rebuild the server. I don't think it should be more than 1-2 weeks to get it back up, but at least this time none of the data will be missing. I just need to reload the OS, but this time I'm going from RedHat to Win2k3, hopefully.

BTW, anyone want to donate a copy of Windows 2003 server? Email me if you can help.
Yes, my email is still functioning... for now.

aHA! You see, GasX! Another HD failure due to Linux! And you thought I was all screwy in the brain.

Damn lawyers, this is all a smoke screen to keep from starting his King of KG battles with SSpoom so that he can geek out on the maps for a week! I knew it'd be a lawyer who holds things up!

Spoom has both the files--so nice try!

Word from "the Battlefront" is that CMMods will be back up this coming weekend.

I have said it once, and I will say it again..... The operating system has nothing to do with hard drives dying..... note the fact that he said:
DO NOT USE MAXTOR!!!

NOT:

DO NOT USE LINUX!!!

It's kinda funny because I've been wanting to rebuild the server anyway. And I've had the feeling this was going to happen soon.

I'm moving from RedHat to Win2k3 simply because it's easier to work with. I'm kind of a Linux newb. I like Linux (heard the SuSe is da bomb), but there's so much more support and options for a Win server. It's pricey, but at least I won't be worried about not knowing how to fix something.

Look for it Sunday. That's my plan anyway."

The Maxthon (http://www.maxthon.com) browser is easiest most user friendly tabbed browser out there. It is bsed on the same source code as IE but without all the Microsoft crap stuffed in it. With nearly 50 million downloads ya can't go wrong. And remember, Firefox is a favorite of Linux users. An operating system we have proven here that destroys hard drives.
