If required, i can host the site temporarily untill something more permanent can be sorted out. I can probably also donate some permanent webspace in the next month or so.

Let Me Know...

Cheers,

Just an update. You will notice aufalcon.com is now pointing to the forums (as is aufalcon.com.au - Russ is pointing both together now so we have both domains).

Currently the server setup is being worked on and we should be back in business soon enough. Sorry for all the fun and games but everything is still safe, nothing has been lost and it will all be back.

Thanks to Russ (and the entire AFF admin team) along with Dauphin who will be providing some wicked software (and of course all the members who provide the content) aufalcon.com is going to be rebuilt in the next few months so expect to see some big changes and improvements.

JC, I think you would be stunned the amount of times the workshop and articles section is referenced. Given that you have written a number (majority) of the workshop items you should know how good a source of info it is What you probably dont realise is how ofter it is viewed. Your workshop docs are extreamely popular!!!

When you say it is going to be rebuilt over the next few months, will the basic information be available in the old format before then?

I was trying to login to the workshop area to get the airbox modification page so that i could do it while i have my airbox out...

Anyway, sounds like a good future is coming for a great site ful of great information :

The original format and site will be back online asap. Then, once its back, we will start to work on the new format. At some stage we will load all the new format up, change the hyperlinks, new site comes on line and then we just delete the old one from the background. Will be almost seamless.

Sounds good.

Even though I probably won't go for a quarter of the mods on offer at the site, I do enjoy reading what others have been able to do.
