Hi folks,

OK, we are finally there. The forum has gone over 50,000 messages, and is growing faster than ever. The forum's success has outgrown all of the original technology that it was designed with. We have spent months trying to convert it to a more robust database. The moment of truth is finally here. One of my best programmers has done about $10,000 worth of work to fix the Mudcat. The changes are being tested today, and if we feel good about it we will convert it this afternoon, Feb. 1, 1999 about 2pm EST. The site may be down for about 2 hours, but bodhi will be there. It may take us a couple of days to work all the bugs out so be patient with us, and confident that this will solve most if not all of the Mudcat's ills.

We have a great many new features and fund raisers coming as well, and I am sure you will all be pleased. In fact, I beleive you'll be amazed, so stick around.
