SERVER MAINTAINANCE NOTICE: Could be brief outages

[Tned]

This is more of an after the fact explanation.

I changed the IP addresses associated with the server, Broncosforums.com domain, mail server and such.

In the world of leased servers, when you move to a new company and get a new server, you get new IP addresses. When we changed servers back in November, it was a new company, so new IP addresses. Unfortunately, the customer that previously had those IP addresses assigned to them, sent out bulk email/spam.

So, some ISP's have been blocking emails from broncosforums.com, not for anything we have done, but the previous owner of the IP addresses.

I requested a new set of IP addresses from the hosting company, and planned to make the change at 3:30 am, but I either slept through the alarm, or messed up setting it. Anyway, I just made the change 30 minutes ago.

I think the way I made the changes (a bunch of technical DNS stuff), it probably went unnoticed by nearly everyone, but if you experienced a brief (1-10 minutes) period where you couldn't hit the site this morning, it was when the new IP addresses were working their way through the system.

Sorry fro any disruptions.

It was down for about 10 minutes this afternoon, with one final configuration change needed for the IP changes. I don't recall anything Sunday afternoon.
