Hello all! We are moving the site to a new server so we will be putting the forums in read only mode when we start the move. After the move is complete we will re-open posting on the new server.

Server move is complete. Enjoy the new box!

Why go through the trouble? Seems like Autopatcher and APup have gone into sleep mode and may never
wake up again.

This comment motivated me to finally recommend it to Frank, he's busy and doesn't need the aggravation of having to keep up with the needs of this particular project. It might be worth mentioning no one really has stepped up in the forums with even rudimentary questions to help lift the load, and I know there are a few users who have the knowledge to do so.

I agree, it's time, the project had a good run - let's not put it off any longer.

After talking with Frank, he said, make something happen here, the site as it is now is funded (paid for), no worries, be creative. So I say to you who may read this post - What about being creative, offering a hand, in any way - is there interest in keeping the site alive?

I figure an official announcement is the proper way to go about seeking input, offers of help, positions needed, skills available, so for now give it some thought

I'm wondering what the users would feel about the AutoPatcher Project being moved to an Italian forum with an English sub forum - this could work. It's simply the reverse of autopatcher.com. The project needs an active user base - this forum is not that anymore, and I would like to go back to Member status without seeing the project fold altogether.

I don't know what releases would be maintained, if they wanted to drop XP English, someone needs to step up, but I think most of the OS releases are language neutral.

Anyway, So what do you think.

If you were having a bit of trouble connecting to autopatcher.com, I don't think it was nothing more than a temporary server glitch with the host, not exactly sure but it looks to be over with.

I believe the host site is undergoing a few changes so you may see this from time to time.

Confirmation: Frank promptly replied to my email acknowledging the server was down. He also said he would take a look at the redirect issue.
