Thanks for your patience with the recent down time. We were experiencing some technical problems that were interfering with your ability to use the forums and social networking software to their fullest potential. The issue wound up being the result of a problem with the server we were running on, so we asked our hosting company to move us to a different server. Any such move comes with its own share of difficulties, and hopefully we've worked through all of them successfully. Thanks to our hosts for their diligence and hard work.

We also upgraded all of the site software, including the content system, social networking and forum applications to their most recent versions. We're hopeful that this will also help to extinguish a few more bugs.

PayPal dues payment and an online membership application form are now available from the quick links, so please make sure to take advantage of them to keep your dues and contact information up to date. We should have a small online store up very soon.

Thanks again for your patience, and enjoy the site!
