what do you/current ownership need us members to do to continue to have access to, The Ledge ?

I've been here / lurking since 2009 and even though of late ive not been visiting or saying anything so often i cannot imagine it not being here when i need to 'get back'

I don't know, but my guess is that nothing has to be done. I just think the owner was dealing with maintenance issues. You try to do upgrades and fixes during off-peak hours, like late night or the weekend. But you know how it is. You estimate a fix is going to take 4 hours and there's some type of glitch and it ends up taking two days!

I can remember early on that I did something in maintenance, can't remember what, but I caused it to go off line and lost a bunch of posts. Marty, the site founder, was having a children's birthday party and his brother-in-law was over at the house with him and they both had computer skills and they uploaded the site from a back up and got it back online for me. It was crazy.

And as Nancy said there are server changes, every time you change to a new server, if you don't back up and then turn vbulletin off completely, then you will lose unsaved data.

I'm sure you'd have a better idea than me...but the figure I had in my head was about once a month. My perception may be off though.
