From the Brink of Death
We nearly lost the Power Kite Forum forever. My web host upgraded the database server rendering our old forumware obsolete. It took two weeks to
finally find a solution eventually moving the site to another host and rebuilding an updated database almost line by line.
I can't grantee that everything will work as before - and we did lose some of the modifications I once made - but 21 years of posts have been restored
and, as of this entry, posting may resume.
On the upside, we now have a new version (4/2024) of this forumware.
I apologize for the extended loss of service and thank everyone who still uses this site for your patience and continued support.
Now, I'm off to bed!
Bob
