One last, hopefully brief server upgrade
What started as a simple server upgrade to help with all of the coaching traffic on VolNation, turned into a nightmare. After a full day of troubleshooting it was learned that the new server was experiencing hardware failure. A day of trial-and-error hardware replacement has improved but not solved the issues. We made the decision last night to move off of this sever and start fresh with a new one to hopefully eliminate the issues once and for all. Nothing has gone as planned to this point, but as of now we expect a brief outage this afternoon while the final switch is made and the server is rebooted. I realize these outages are unacceptable and I'm taking every stop possible to make sure this doesn't happen again in the future. Thanks to each and every one of you for your participation on the site and for putting up with my mistakes this week. Freak
