Why did the Forum go offline?

Just thought I would let everyone know what happened yesterday to the forum.  For some reason a process running either on this site or the Club site ran out of control and killed the MySQL server in order to free up memory.  The only thing we dont know is what process ate up all the memory.  Just know that if it happens again we will always be working to get things back up.

    The server blew a 6L6GC vacuum tube, and poor Aaron had to fly out to the Slovak Republic to get one.

    Shoot, if I'd known he needed one, I could have emailed him one out of my Hallicrafters.

    Slovak Republic???  That relay station in Siberia that used to slow things down on the old Hudson chat page didn't have one??  Or is it out of business now that Carclassics don't have no chat page now.

    Alex, I have looked and looked for anyone still making a chat app like we used to use, and the one I did find does not work with the modern services.  The forum and person to person IMs are really the only thing out there.  If you are looking for IM, they want you to load an app with a Facebook look and feel.  Too much real estate for what we want.  Nothing is simple any more.  Except for maybe you guys!  :))

    One more time folks - and it is back up...

    Was just a minor 'Bink' (not a 'Bonk') while some maintenance was being done.  Our apologies -
