As Brandon has said we are taking steps to handle the extra load for now and the near future. The timing is not great but we have been working on the upgrade for awhile and are solving several roadblocks along the way.

As Brandon has said, he is the MAIN man I am only an ad visor or sorts not the expert by any means. I have diverted his energy as of late by making the site self sufficient in terms of funding. This energy could have been spent making improvements. I am looking toward the future and it was a MUST make it now activity.

We (Brandon) will work his usual magic in the coming rush of traffic and if all plans fall into place we will be faster and stronger to carry the load the Community of FIRST is in need of.

Thank you for your continued support. We will do our best!

As far as offers to have free or reduced rates on another systems..... there is much more to the site than just moving. Much of the site is custom written and changing locations is not a easy or speedy task. It is also very risky this close to the FIRST crunch.

Again, a special thank you to the Community of FIRST.
