GenVibe.Com visitors and subscribers,

The GenVibe.Com forums are temporarily out of service due to a hardware failure. I want to apologize to everyone for this interruption, it's unfortunate it has played out this way.

I've spent the better part of the last three days on the phone with Dell, and on Friday I am flying back to California to meet with the Dell tech to replace some hardware that Dell says "might" be the problem. I can't say with confidence that the site will be back up by Friday afternoon but I am hoping for the best (and preparing for the worst =P )

We have a few possible backup plans to get moving again, but I am hesitent to put anything in place like a "temporary" forum, since if/when the normal forums get back and running, we'll have a huge issue with re-merging the two databases, it will just be impractical. While I'm in CA I'll be setting up a second server that will be ready to go if Dell fails again.

Thanks for your patience. Further updates as events warrant. You can email me with questions at mike [at] genvibe.com.

Mike K.
