June 11, 20241 yr I still remember the 2009 hack, and I was fearing it had happened again.

June 11, 20241 yr 2 minutes ago, Luis Hernandez said: I still remember the 2009 hack, and I was fearing it had happened again. Luckily it looks it wasn't the case this time 😁 The most severe happened sometime in the early 2000's and lasted a considerable amount of time (days, months). It was so severe that many of us that had been around since 1998, or perhaps earlier, had to re-register once the site was back up. I believe my original ID was "fpilot". After the resurrection I could not use the original ID so added a P to make it "fppilot". The site was very similar in character to today's Avsim as that earlier 4 year period saw us arguing back and fortth about multiple simulators including MS FS '95, Sierra Propilot, Fly, and the Nomisoft life support for subLogic's Flight Assignment:ATP.

June 11, 20241 yr Administrators OK, we are back up and running . The server had a bad case of the icks! The AVSIM tech waved his magic wandoo!

Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
June 11, 20241 yr I’m thinking a bad flux capacitor. Specs: black box thingy with spinning fans, lights and a bunch of wires that go to screens with pretty colours and a keyboard with many keys. The black box thingy also has a push button activated coffee cup holder. John C.

June 14, 20241 yr @charliearon Any update on the Tech’s efforts to restore full functionality to AVSIM? As of now it is in “limp mode”. Unread content does not work, nor user avatars. No file library access, and posting new content and reading existing posts is extremely slow. Jim BarrettLicensed Airframe & Powerplant Mechanic, Avionics, Electrical & Air Data Systems Specialist.
