i cant believe that the offroadrc.ca site is down again. the new host they went with is junk. even when its working it takes forever to log on .

the thing was just out of commission for 4 days right during the niagara glorcs race.

now the hardcore glorcs race is coming up and we are s.o.l. again. lol

Calvin, Perhaps,we should use this forum to post all the Hardcore RC GLORCS Details.

i would say forget offroadrc and move to hear. offroadrc is mainly a eastern thing. why don't you guys' join the rest of canada. That way more people can see what going on in the east. why use mutlible forums.

Because this forum is a hodge podge of threads all thrown into one forum. offroadrc.ca at least breaks the forum down into specific segments making it way more organized and easier to find what you are looking for. I love RCTech's other forums but the Canadian one needs work.

I understand that everyone is

about the outage and I am too.

I am technically challenged when it comes to this and we are doing all that we can to rectify this outage...
I found this on another forum...

"What is going on over @ ORRC" Well here is the skinny...

I have been with IPOWER for years, literally, with little to no problems, until the Transition, since IPOWER has transitioned to a new platform, they have become unstable like a 1 legged dog. We tried to move to NetFirms with no luck, as their server setting did not allow a site the size of ORRC to function, so we were forced to transition with IPOWER, and look what happened again.

ORRC has a very large DB, chalked full of over 4 years of info, good times, bad times, and Downtimes, this DB is over 500 MEGS in size, backed up (compressed). That is TEXT, no files,pics,or crap.

We have located a VPS and secured it, and are working on putting the site on a server all by itself, with no restriction, and free to breathe. This should not take too long, as it is in my native language, Debian.

Thanks for the support, and that is your update.
