I'm convinced that the government is keeping the forum down because they need time to erase a thread that was hijacked by a 9/11 conspiracy theorist!
Back up again! For now.....

Down again...
I just wish my high school girlfriends would have gone...
Oh, nevermind.
You know, I'm not an IT guy but it would seem to be one thing to allow this to happen in the first place but...to let it drag on for five days?
Seems to be a huge cluster.
They apparently managed to screw up the AOPA Magazine app while they were at it. I got an authentication error when I tried to sign in. Deleted reloaded with no success.
What a bunch of idiots.
Cheers
Yes, that is a measurable result but they are really not in the position of losing members to a competitor because of the downtime. Almost all of those who would have signed up during the downtime will sign up later. Dues are less than a buck a week, so little loss accrues.... lets be frank, for AOPA, not having the ability to facilitate new member signups is stoppage ...
Yeah. After I typed a lengthy reply.
Based on what I see of their technology and the way they've been running things they need to boot whomever has been in charge of making their technology decisions and find someone that knows how to do things right.
Back up again! For now.....

DRINK!
Down again...

Funny story: Just after my brother took over as Executive Director of a medium-sized nonprofit he was telling me about a problem he had.I find myself wondering if AOPA has any performance standards in their contract with whoever is doing the work.
I'd be curious how much traffic has increased here over the past week. The weeds must be getting pretty high over at Red by now.
ROFLHmph.... What's happening over on AOPA forums reminds me of the new story about what happened to the cargo ship departing Hong Kong for Long Beach, CA with a load of yo-yo's.
It ran into a really bad storm and sank three thousand, six hundred, and eighty three times.
I wonder if anyone at a high enough decision authority has even noticed the problem....
What have they done for me as the owner / operator of a complex single piston aircraft?
I must have crashed it. Back down again.
Let them do what they do best
Back up again.
I must have crashed it. Back down again.
Crashed in just 4 minutes...
Up this morning
Well, the down fall of the first AOA Board (the "Yellow Board") was the genesis of Pilots of America.
Let them do what they do best, and we can be the best place there is to chat about aviation.
Chat or argue?
