AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
#1 - this thread was about (originally) re-doing AO forums. If you have "plans" for reinvigorating AGD, let's take them elsewhere to keep things somewhat on track.
#2 - Tom's not in charge of AGD anymore. Dave Zupan is.
Oh, believe me, I have a major affinity for Tom and the brand he built. Hell, I've hung out with the guy multiple times. But let's face facts here - he's out of paintball (outside of the compressor project) and Dave's all we have left.
Well, a SQL database backup would prevent that - not sure how often that's done though.
I'm hoping a mod can either chime in here or somebody with connections to the hosting company pops in - I'd like to help and if necessary, spearhead this. But we have some standing questions that need answers.
I think Zupe has nothing to do with this site. I beleive it is still Tom's baby.
So, i second the lets get back on track.
First priority is a reliable site so this doesnt go bye bye. fancy stuff is not the primary objective.
I also, second someones idea of Tom setting up a paypal account for donations. IF Tom wants to do that....(if Tom could answer this)

Last I heard Zuoe pays the bill but I could be mistaken.
