Hitech Creations introduces AHWiki

Today we are happy to announce the opening of a new wiki, a community driven collaborative encyclopedia, called AHWiki. AHWiki is an information source for all that is Aces High, plus many related subjects like aviation and military history, and everything inbetween.
Getting started is as simple as logging in, using your Aces High bulletin board ID and password (your game ID and password will not work!). If you just want to browse and read, then you do not need to log in. Logging in allows you to edit and add content to AHWiki.
We are excited about the possibilities this tool brings to our information exchange base and look forward to it growing.
To find AHWiki, look in the "Community" menu listing above.

HiTech Creations News: Bulletin Board, AHWiki, Score Pages update

We had hoped all this would be up and running today, but it does not appear that is going to happen. The problem, which initially caused this, was due to a file system being damaged when the server was inadvertently powered off during an upgrade to our back-up power supplies.
Restoring databases and revuilding indexes is time comsuming due to the size of our bulletin board. We appreciate everyone's patience and we will continue to work to get everything back online as soon as possible.
We expect to have this resolved by Friday of this week.

HiTech Creations News: Bulletin Board, AHWiki, Score Pages update

It's become apparent to us that the damage to the BBS is too extensive to be fixed through normal means. We have decided that we need to roll the board back to a previous backup from the beginning of May. We will then try to append all posts that have been made since that time(the beginning of May) and are recoverable but we can make no assurances as to whether that operation will be successful.

Our best estimate on how long this will take is anywhere from one day to a week, starting this afternoon.

HiTech Creations News: Score and Squad Pages update

Score and Squad pages should be back online now. They may bounce up and down for short periods of time as we work on the bulletin board, but they should be fine otherwise.

The AHWiki survived this issue with no losses or damage. As it depends on the bulletin board user database for logging in, we cannot bring it online until the bulletin board is repaired.
