Another near sleepless night. This time a failed module upgrade lead to the need to completely upgrade the entire server software set to the latest versions available. Hopefully this will end the recent issues.. or.. it could create new issues. Who knows, we may even see a performance improvement. Please report any strange behaviors with the site response.
Thanks for your patience while the site was down.

12:00PM PST Wednesday UPDATE
The website server experienced a hiccup of some sort yesterday. I discovered the message board not responding late last night. I worked through the night with the server host to try to figure out the problem. Had to finally give up at 4 AM to get some sleep. At this point I'm still not sure if it was a hardware, software or virus that took the site down. At one point I got indications that a the server had been infected with a nasty malware rootkit. To protect those visiting the website, I shut down web access to the entire site.
After many virus scans, and consultation with the host company, I'm confident the site is back up and operational, virus / malware free. Still not sure if that was the issue though.
Please report any strange activity via email.
This is also a good time to remind everyone that not only should you have a robust and constantly updated Anti-Virus program on your computer... you should also be running a robust and constantly updated Anti-Malware program. Malware is much more prevelant these days than viruses. I run a program here called Malwarebytes that I'm very pleased with.
Sorry for the disruption. Hopefully you didn't go through too many withdrawl symptoms.

I will be going on a series of business trips starting this week. As a result, I will not be able to process website sticker orders until late June. I've taken down the sticker order box on the right sidebar as a result. When that box returns, stickers will again be available.
