Hello everyone! The site is finally back! The cause of the crash seems to have been due to several factors, some of which are not entirely known. The hosting company initially said it was not in their domain to fix it, but another representative informed us there was not enough space on the current server. This can happen with a high volume site like the forum.
Thanks to the incredibly generous donations from all of the members here, we were able to upgrade to a dedicated server.
This would not have been possible without the donations
I can't thank everyone enough!
There appear to be other issues that will need to be worked on in the weeks to come, but thank goodness the site is live and ok!
Please know how much you all are appreciated---the donations literally saved this site. Thank you all!!!
