About the Downloads and Subscriptions

[+Dave]

The downloads are back up about 90%. (there are 438 more files to sort etc)

 

But we need help with the following:

 

1. Check your files you uploaded, modders I'm looking at you, if there is no screen shot PLEASE put one in there. I'm still looking at you modders.

 

2. Check your subscriptions. Erik said he extended everyone because of the downtime. If you see something wrong let us know. We will fix it. We gave everyone their time back plus 2 extra week as a way of saying thanks for your continued patience.

 

3. Finally of you see any files missing, lets us know so we can find them or the community can find then and we can get them back up.

 

Erik used every bit of cash CombatAce had to fix it. He even poured his own money in it. So the coffers are empty. The funny thing about is that the biggest complainers about the download sections being down, were the ones who never put a dime into the site. Not a single penny. So shame on those people who complained but never helped out. So if your are feeling generous we would a appreciate the help.

 

Erik has been doing this non stop for weeks, this is all he has done for hours and hours and hours, days an days and days, weeks and weeks and weeks all because the data center fucked up. Erik didn't fuck up, the company that handles billions of dollars in data, fucked up. If it wasn't for Erik the legacy of CombatAce and Strike Fighters in particular would be gone. And he did this all while still recovering form damn near dying on us last year.

 

So I am standing on top of the hill and I need you all to form on me, and lets get Erik across the finish line on this.

I am not a wordsmith, so I don't have any words that can do justice for the effort, just wanted to say A HUGE THANK YOU to Erik!!! 

[SFP1Ace]

[stingray77]

Thanks a lot Erik!

[+dtmdragon]

Awesome work guys I for one appreciate every once of effort you put into this site and community!

[Gunrunner]

Good job Erik, thanks for your dedication.

 

I saw my Thunderflashes were missing, I took the liberty of reuploading them and adding the missing screenschots, I hope it won't interfere with the work on the last few hundred files.

[+Piecemeal]

Well done Erik. You're a giant amongst men in my opinion. I'll be lodging something via paypal on Friday.

 

Note for TK: Now this is one reason for you to continue working (at least to some degree) on the PC series. It's because of the devotion of people like Eric and others that the SF series has lived this long.

Gunrunner, there are about 413 more files to be uploaded by Erik so I bet you they are in there.

 Thank You Erik

They are not really broken, those are the ones Erik has to left to finish uploading/recovering.

[+ravenclaw_007]

Thanks Dave , so will check only on the pictures that are missing

[ValAstur]

Erik! You are the greatest!

 

Shall we wait until everything is at 100% or shall we directly "refresh" the files reported as broken along with the screenshots?

[wrathbringer21]

The community owes a lot to this very guy...a big cheers and thanks to Erik and the CA team!  

[Shotgun 27]

Gonna re-up my sub right now. I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of CA, so it's the least I can do to give back.

[+Brain32]

Awsome, big thx to Erik for all the effort

[KJakker]

I don't have much money to spend right now but I had to purchase another subscription to show my support. 

[+JediMaster]

I don't think anyone epitomizes "above and beyond" more than Erik's efforts here.

[+ace888]

Thank you Erik!  It is never enough thanks for all involve to keep this community going.

I just ran the numbers and if everyone with 100 post or more were to simply take a bag lunch instead of stopping for fast food just once and put the saved money toward a simple Choice Member subscription it would earn CombatAce $4635.65. I think that if everyone who regularly uses CombatAce were to donate or buy a subscription at least once a year it would help out tremendously with maintenance and upgrades.

 

I will admit that I have only purchased subscriptions twice due to, at first a lack of awareness of the option, and after that to limited funds, however having run the math I am sure that I will be subscribing again.

 

Erik, thank you for a the work that you have done and are doing. 

[logan4]

Thank you very much the hard work for Erik and Co. I was able to spare a bit, should be there in few days via paypal.
