    We here at FHC owe everyone a sincere apology...

    In a nutshell guys and gals, we need to get our software upgraded. The internet is making some changes, namely Google, and SSL certificates and encryptions are we being required on everything on the internet for sites like ours. Our software is dated and no longer supported by the company that maDE it, and incompatible with the newer server that we need to upgrade to. Our site is still secure, and working through a third-party SSL, but we still need to get the upgrades to our software to be up to snuff and be installed on a new server. So if everybody can bear with us, we'll have everything back up and better than ever in the up-and-coming weeks.

    On behalf of the staff here at FHC, I want to give you guys and gals a sincere apology, we have been working hard to try and get this issue resolved and figure out exactly what we need to do to prevent it from happening in the near future.

    Furthermore, if you find yourself unable to log on here in the future, you can also contact me via Facebook Messenger (Scott Kustaborder).

    Thank you all for your patience and understanding........I know how much a lot of you love being here (and believe me, we love having you here), sometimes these growing pains can really make things frustrating!

    OK somebody has to say it. Scott, You and Mods donate your time, energy etc. to give us a fun family friendly place to hang out for years. A great place to share our hobbies stories and pictures, without advertisements and harassments.

    THANK YOU and no apologies are necessary!
    :handshake:

    P.S. Please ask for donations if upgrades are expensive.

    I don't use facebook but if I have issues I at least know why I can't access the site..
    Crazy that the new encryption isn't plug n play, most times it's just a module and not baked into the software like that..

    It's all good Scotty, I know how hard you guys were working to get the site back up. Maintenance and upgrades have to be done every so often.

    No need to apologize for anything.

    Now.. let's get the swag shop back up and make a few $'s to keep this site intact.

    I’ll echo statements above. No need for apology on my end. I appreciate all the time involved keeping this forum afloat. And if funds are needed for upgrades, pease just give it a mention.

    Just knowing what's going on trumps an apology every day.

    Scotty Overkill No apology needed. I am very thankful there are those that understand what it takes to keep a web site up and running. In other words, don't come to me to fix web issues. I am right up there with being as dumb as a pet rock when it comes to those issues. Keep up the good work.:salute::thumbs::handshake:
