That was my understanding as well. Although they have been having server problems for a long time. This last storm might have been the straw that broke the camel's back.

RE: MM Outage...
 

thanks for the info, I was thinking they were doing the server update. Glad I found this site!

that was what I was thinking too

RE: MM Outage...
 

Glad it was not just me that couldn't get on the site. I have been following the cracked breechplug thread since I now have a CVA Optima Elite and some BH209 to try. I had intended to shoot nothing but the BH209 in the Elite. Now I am going to approach that a little more cautiously. I hope they can get the site back going as I like that one also. I did read about at least one T/C rifle with cracks showing up in the breechplug after shooting BH209. I have no idea how long or what the previous situation was with the T/C (Encore I believe)so it is too early to make much of a decision. I may try to get the CVA people aware that they could pass on information on this site until the MM site gets back up.

I got an email this a.m. from Chuck. It as suspected the Modern Muzzle L<oader server is in the Houston area. Chuck has not idea when an up time or if we even have a server farm left down there. Stay Tuned,
I am sorry I could not get this out sooner, Ohio got hit terribly w/ high winds. Sustained at 55 mph, Columbus and surrounding areas are shut down. Power outages for up to a week in some areas. This is the foirst internet hook up I've gotten since early yeaterday afternoon!!

RE: MM Outage...
 

The server people are working on it. I got on the site but the forum is still down. The other sites the server hosts are down completely. I think they are trying to restore MM first. Not sure what needs done but at least it's being worked on.

RE: MM Outage...
 

The site is being moved to a new hosting service local to Chuck. The guy running the new hosting service had downloaded the entire forum BEFORE the hurricane damage. He is trying to bring it up ASAP but that will likely mean tomorrow or the next day.

RE: MM Outage...
 

Good to hear that MM will soon be back up. I have missed it not being up the past few days. Here, in Texarkana (300 miles from Houston), we had bad winds and rain on Saturday. My electricity is is still out, so I use an inverter plugged into the cigarette lighter in my vehicle to recharge that battery on my notebook. I use dial-up, so thankfully I didn't lose telephone service.

RE: MM Outage...
 

DPHMIN welcome to the forum. I hope everything is back to normal for your household and town soon...

RE: MM Outage...
 

Got our electricity back on about 10:45 this morning. Great to have a hot shower again. (We are on a well, so we've been hauling water.)

Glad to have found this site and to see so many I recognize from the MM site.

RE: MM Outage...
 

I know all about loosing power and being on a well and septic system. I melted snow for seven days one winter... Good thing the wood stove worked. :D its good to have you over here...

As some might not be aware, the main server for MM was out of Houston Texas. After IKE went through, that kind of slowed things down. But it is my understanding that they site had a back up run before the hurricane, and they are working now to get it back up and running ASAP. Thanks for the patience.

RE: MM Outage...
 

Welcome to the forum DP. I've been through a few hurricanes and surelyknow the joy of having electricity returned. We were without power for almost a month after Katrina.

Don't know bout yer house but everythime big brown stops here - dares a hurricane... Terry gits pretty windy

RE: MM Outage...
 

And you deserve everything you get. People say I own lots of rifles.. I don't hold a candle to Sabotloader. So he can not blame me anymore for his collection. I am sure his wife is a wonderful considerate woman who has every right to get after him... :D:D

RE: MM Outage...
 

By the way, I just logged into MM with no problems, and all looks good.

RE: MM Outage...
 

I keep a generator around for power outages I can charge batteries and use inverters power my wood stove and run my pump. It doesn't do everything but at least I can stay warm and have some lights and my toilet works.

RE: MM Outage...
 

it is still coming up as an error for me.

I can get to the main page but not to the forum itself

RE: MM Outage...
 

DANG! Any you don't even get a warning and chance to evacuate. :D:D

RE: MM Outage...
 

I just logged into MM and looks like it is up and running as fridays posts are there.

RE: MM Outage...
 

For some reason I still cannot get on the site.

RE: MM Outage...
 

I think it is up only part of the time. I haven't caught the up time yet. :D

RE: MM Outage...
 

Not sure what is up but I have been in and out a few times today without one problem. I see Cayuga made a post today.

Maybe some Domain Name Servers in your areas have not been updated.

RE: MM Outage...
 

Am I the only one that still cannot get on that site?

I am not getting in at all - have tried several times.... So if it is up it must still be on the unstable site in Houston.

RE: MM Outage...
 

I haven't been able to get on either. I typed "modern muzzleloader" in my search engine and it brought up the home page, but when I clicked on "forum" I got an error message.

RE: MM Outage...
 

Well I feel better now.

RE: MM Outage...
 

Two hours after I made the post about being able to get on anytime, I couldn't get on anymore. I can get to the MM home page buck when I click on the forums link, the connection fails.

RE: MM Outage...
 

makes me feel a little better too, i wondering if it was isp doing it to me.

RE: MM Outage...
 

Yep.. its down again. At least last time I tried it.

RE: MM Outage...
 

Chuckhasn't been able to get on, so we are not alone. :D I thought you guys were just jivin' the rest of us.

RE: MM Outage...
