My understanding, as the current plan is set, is that they are moving entire cabinets which is preferred over a de-rack event. I'd have preferred that they provisioned new gear and let us (customers) move but it's not looking like that's going to happen. They've hired qualified movers but that as you know isn't saying much. I'm still waiting on some answers about who's insuring the move, who's ultimately responsible for loss, and if we can insure against loss. That said, we're in a good place for this. Over the years, more so lately, I've built a full offsite backup funnel which will allow us to rebuild from a total loss of gear and/or data. A tested funnel I will be stress testing between now and then, to make sure I've got everything I need. I'll have to find a couple test boxes to deploy on but I'll figure that out. Community wise, patience during the move is the only thing I can ask. I'm preparing ahead of time so we all know the plan and there are no surprises. E

The plan is definitely to return just letting everyone know that there's a move in our future and I can't do anything about it. I had hoped they were going to allow us to deploy duplicate equipment which would allow us a switch over that nobody will notice but they are going old-school with this move. The plans aren't inked yet so there may be changes but until there are the only thing I can do is prepare.

Notice to all, The data center which we reside in will be moving in June of this year which means they are physically moving locations. This is a rare event but they are moving their entire rack space to a new location and we're included in that move. This will be an outage event that can last up to 12 hours. How this will impact will affect CombatACE.com We will be given a date and time for the move, when I have that information I will post it publicly. When the day and time comes our servers will be powered down while they are physically moved. (Expected window 6-8 hours) During that time CombatACE.com will resolve to our temporary static site to let visitors and members know that our move is in progress. When we get power restored we'll undergo a complete in-place diagnostics to make sure our cabinet, machines, and network are performing as expected. After a successful test of the gear and the green light to relight CombatACE, our site will be back online and no longer resolve to our temporary site. I will be making updates as I get them during the move on our x.com page.

Don't some of the F105s come with Bluetooth armaments? I thought I remember seeing that as an available option back in the 60s when the AF was ordering these birds.

I had to fit this into my work schedule, got some other important things going on like rebuilding reels and such. Regardless, this file didn't have an edited date, not really sure why, might have been the old environment, database busy, who knows, but it's fixed now. No time machine needed just some mysql on the cli. Seems weird having this as part of the file announcement record. Second thought. Are you sure you deleted the old file and re-uploaded a new file? The file update time wouldn't change if it's the same file, but it also wouldn't be some pre-birth date. That's just odd, I'll put this on my list to look at sometime Back in the Future. Third thought. Are you one of those Euro guys that runs everything behind three VPNs and a TOR connection? Just curious why wouldn't have scraped the date correctly unless it was being altered between you and us.

You don't get 20 monkeys in a room and toss in one banana and expect that there will not be problems. I just try not be the banana, best I've figured out so far.

All news to me. The DAT team had some of their files here at one time but wanted more control over their work than we could give them so they went back to their website model and took their work with them. We don't have much interaction with them but they are part of the community and of course welcome here. We get a lot of people here that ask about DAT's registration system. From what I know I think Ceasar "Capun" hand reviews each registration. Sounds mind-numbingly horrible to have to keep up with. I often wonder after all these years if he's still getting requests. As for their work, I have heard different reviews but from what I gather it's stuff they put together that is in varying levels of completeness for a reason. They worked to get a lot of stuff pushed out the door and left a lot of the details to be finished later. That ultimately is their decision and we have no control over that.

You should edit your file and give us screenshot to go with it so we don't have to use a stock image.

What does this mean?

@Menrva I think he means why can't he download the file based on his New Member status which means he has no access to downloads yet. @Silva Please review this link:

Try 2 October 2008, you missed by a decade so not too bad.

You were and are included in the Arena.

You're all set.

First question is, why isn't Mue a modder? I'll look at this later today, might be some settings that didn't get configured correctly for PM usage. @Wrench

If the files on your File Page are outdated and need to be hidden, you have the ability to hide them. By hiding them it removes them from public view so they can't be downloaded. As a file's author you have that ability. Since our goal is preservation of works like a historical library our last resort should be to delete anything which includes the old files, the support topics, and meta data that goes along with that. If the file has issues and has absolutely no merit in staying then by all means tell us and one of us can remove it. The focus I was after was to give all author's the ability to manage their own files but as the author you will always have control over that file. That means if it's hidden it will still show in your library but it will show as hidden. Think of it this way. Hidden = File removed to backroom so it can't be downloaded. But this file can updated, changed, renamed, and otherwise edited to be re-released. By doing this it keeps the support topic, revision history, etc intact. In some cases author's have been uploading new files and starting an entire new support thread for different versions, not wrong just a little more messy. Deleted = File taken to the burn pit and lit on fire with yesterday's latrine buckets. I'm not a fan of deleting anything, defeats the purpose of preservation which was our goal from day one. If you're thinking of removing items just because you think it's clutter, I'd caution you to think otherwise. Ultimately you have the say over what you want downloaded, so hide the stuff you don't want to be seen and it won't be.

@Nyghtfall Let me work down that somewhat toothy reply from the top to the bottom. As a regular member, read not a modder or staff, you won't see the things that you've hidden even though you can hide them. In most forums regular members don't have this option. The option to hide content is a function of the software, not configurable for your user type, it was something broken in the last update and has been fixed to work correctly. Either way your hidden content is not present on disk, support threads are gone, and history gone. If it is hidden by you or by us it is not visible to you or any other member in the public so how you saw something that is not visible to your user type is beyond me. Send me a screenshot and I'll dig further if this is otherwise. We do not as a rule delete things because we are a library aimed at preservation, that has always been our goal from day one. There is no confusion, zero. Provide a list of the files you want removed or just hide them and let me know you've done so and I'll remove them personally. I'm sorry your trust is a bit shattered, so is mine. We either move on together or mire in the mud, which side of the table are you on? If you want greater flexibility over your files get with Wrench and discuss upgrading your member type to Modder. Please address your concerns back to me so I can handle them personally. Thank you. Erik

2 files per day, been that way since we started it.

We should always use recoverable storage by moving these types of files to the under review section. Deleting kills support threads which can never be recovered. As the file owner the proper move is to hide them. The file owner will still see them but they aren't visible to anyone else or for download. They were more correct in this setting/configuration than deleted. Is there a reason you want them to be fully removed or are you just trying to clean up you file list? You are the only one who sees them after hiding. Let me know so I can undo this before it's not reversible. Thank you.

One of the good ones, cut from iron and diamond but chiseled and eased by the love of his grandchildren. @331Killerbee is missed. Good to have you around, make yourself at home.

@MatiasMed Your Portu'glish looks great to me. Much better than my Engli'guise.

All fixed.
