In order to improve MacSailing.net, I'll be upgrading both the hosting and software for the site over the next week. Therefore the site may be down for a period of time.
ISP Upgrade
The servers hosting MacSailing.net are quite slow at times, so I'm transferring to another ISP with much faster hardware. During this transfer, the site will be down.
Migration to FusionBB
MacSailing has been running on phpBB version 2 since its launch. This software has done admirably (especially considering it's free) but there are a number of significant shortcomings around the new user signup and spam mitigation. Also, there are now much better BB packages out there.
Therefore, I'll be migrating MacSailing to FusionBB, a commercial BB platform that offers a much better UI, significant improvements in functionality and better adminstration functionality. Again, this migration will cause the site to be out of action for a period of time.
Please bear with us during these changes! Feel free to email me at reeferjon at mac dot com with comments or questions.
