The Project Begins.

Tonight (this morning) we took the first few steps of a grand plan to Fix the Mudcat. We have many more to go, but tonight we installed a new router, a new primary server, and a new ADSL modem. We also phased out 2 computers on the network that will be reformated and used for, among other things, redundancy, backup and mirror, all designed to approach 100% uptime, safety and reliability.

We are also working very hard on repairing the damage from the crash, namely the missordered threads and duplicates.

If we're up when I awake, I will be satisfied with this nights work. I will keep you informed of our progress.

Max, please ignore the doubters and moaners that seem to abound on Mudcat.

There are many like me who are full of admiration for your committment and generosity in allowing us access to this site and be part of the community you have developed and nurtured.

Thank you so much.

Max,
Thank you for all the work you are doing on the upgrade and for providing the new equipment.

It must be a costly venture. Would you accept help from the users of this site in paying for it? We all appreciate being able to use the site.

Thanks,
rags

Hi, Rags - there's a blue catfish on our Forum Menu page, jumping out of a banjo. No, this is not another banjo joke. If you click him, he'll take you to our Support the Mudcat page, and that page will tell you how you can help. He will be very grateful.
Thanks.

I don't pretend to understand the complexities & frustrations of running Mudcat. I DO understand what is available to me at the click of a mouse & a couple of keystrokes & for that I am extremely grateful. Long may Mudcat continue, Thanks Max & Joe,

Thanks Max, Hope all goes well, and if not, a few, and there was only a few,glitches is nothing compared to the wonderful service that Mudcat provides to the community.

I for one will continue to donate my percentage of sales on my site, however much it may be. As Tesco says, "every little helps". (UK advertisement).


LONG LIVE THE 'CAT.

Thanks for the blood,sweat, and tears that goes into keeping Mudcat rolling. I've been having some little hasseles with my personal computer which is just a wee reminder of what you must go through to keep Mudcat operating and running well.   This is the only such site I have on my regular computer tour because, in part of the wonderful assembleges of information here, but also very largely due to the way it is managed and organized. You and Mudcat are greatly appreciated.
