I'm closing the Zone for 48 hrs from 10pm tonight.
I need to do some end of year maintenance, more backing up and preparation for moving the E30 Zone server.
Hope you all had a good xmas and new year
Many Thanks
Steve & E30 Team

I really needed the zone right now as well. Does that include the wiki?

Here is the temporary home. Bookmark it for use later on.
If you have not used it before you will need to register a new screen name, your login on here does not work on the runboard forum

Just discovered that the 'real' reason for the shutdown is so that the 'Team' and the 'mods' can have a party involving dancing girls.....

because the server will be physically moved I'm paranoid that something will get corrupted so I'm taking as many backups as I can and combining this with some end of year maintenance also.
If I have to reinstall the Zone it will only have the threads/posts etc. from the last backup I have taken, hopefully it won't come to that.

Nope, everything is separate, you can PM on the runboard forum but it is completely separate from this place. Some people's login ID's may be different on there also.

What ever it needs to keep the zone running. Steve and co do it in their spare time so be patient.
