I have been contacted by Sinclair's hosting company, FutureQuest, and they are going to move Sinclair's site to a different server on their data center. Once the move is completed, Sinclair's site will be on a much higher capacity server that is better able to meet the needs of his users. Please be patient tonight, as the same storm that currently has Abacos under siege is heading right at the datacenter in Orlando, Fl that hosts this site. They are in the final stages of preparations and need to make this move tonight ahead of the incoming storm. During the last hurricane, last month, all power was lost in Orlando, and the datacenter continued to run on diesel backup generator power for well over 60 hours. The same is likely to happen during this storm, and the owner of FutureQuest is trying to make sure all the sites, including this one, stay up and running for the duration of this mess.

Also check the following URL after the move if you have problems getting back on the site.

The link you posted doesn't work....or is it not supposed to work until after the move?

It won't work until after the move, but it would be a good idea to write it down somewhere. Sinc just got an email out to me, amazingly, and is aware of the situation.
I am just going to try and act in his best interest. I don't know anything else to do at this point, except try and keep Sinc's site going until he can get back to it. He would do the same for me, I am sure.

Thanks for all of this! Prayers for all in the Abacos! Info on Frances Sands and family on Guana would be appreciated.

The transition to the new server is underway. There should be no downtime during the transition, thanks to a rather brilliant system adminstrator at FutureQuest. It is possible that you might have to log back in once or twice, but that's easy stuff. Just put your username and password into the boxes that will appear on the top right, and you will be good to go.
