Welcome back everyone!

I hope that the "improvements" and the "maintenance" don't cause another crash.

Days without BF C&V are quite long.

Temperature is 62 degrees, I can get another fix of C&V, it can't get much better for bikes today.

Thanks for the work that you guys do.

I am glad to see the site back up. I guess this little incident just proves cravenmorehead's post last week about spending too much time here.

Nice surprise that it is running!!!! We did a little extra riding at the river bottoms in the mud. Too nice to be inside anyway.

Thanks to whoever keeps this thing running.

Glad that it is up again. Missed my daily fix. Weather is terrible outside, so better to sit in front of the computer.

That was an unplanned outage from what I've heard from the higher-ups (aka: DOS attack). The upgrades to the site don't go live for a few more days.

It was a planned cyber attack against IB (Internet Brands), the owner of BikeForums. I think all IB sites were down.
