First of all, many thanks to Nigel for all the work & effort he's made to get our forum back up and running again. I was begining to worry that the Synthzone might not be back up for a long time.

Unfortunately, the problem was 'out of Nigel's hands', as it was the SZ 'hosting Server' (Apache) itself that crashed unexpectantly early last week. The unfortunate thing is that (according to our forum moderator, Nigel) all Synthzone postings made since he moved Synthzone to the new server host (from March 2004 to present) was permanently(?)destroyed and no backup exists. My only hope is that Nigel has since discovered differently, and that a backup can be found & retrieved somewhere.

I know many of you (like me) have been suffering withdrawals from not being able to sign on to Synthzone to hangout with what has truly become a close tight knit arranger keyboard family here. Synthzone had become a 'daily fix' (5 years for me) for many of us.

On a positive note (for me), this past week was very productive on other fronts. I learned and arranged MORE 'new tunes' than usual, found time to work with my website designer on my soon to released 'new' UPDATED website, and well as found more time to hang out and play live with local musician buddies. Curious to hear what things others of you here have found extra time for during the week long Synthzone Forum abscence.

In the meantime, Welcome back here to everyone ! I've really missed you all, so looking forward to hearing from you all soon.

Scott

You can say that again! And thanks to you, Scott, for keeping everybody informed, either directly or indirectly, on the status of SZ. Glad we're all back and OK. How long's it been, a few months? Seems like it!

Cheers,
Glenn

Thank you for getting this site functioning again. As Scott mentioned, I to had severe withdrawal pains.

I figure I spend some 7 to 10 hours a week at the SZ. Gee - with all the free time I had, i cleaned out the garage, did yard work, and painted. Enough of that already.

So - it's great to be surfing the SZ again.

Mark...

Last night I threw a mid summer New Year's Eve party, something I began doing a couple years ago. Had about 40 people here, lots of great food, fired up the 3000 and had everyone singing and dancing till well after midnight. Some might believe, and rightfully so, that this old guy has lost his sanity--hey, who else celebrates New Year's Eve in the middle of August? I still have a huge New Year's Eve party on December 31 as well, but this one makes up for the ones that were lost to freezing rain, snow and ice storms over the past decade. Yes, we did sing Auld Lang Syne, and some folks had enough Kickapoo Joy Juice onboard that they sang it in Scotish as well. It was a fun night.

I wish to personally thank Scott Yee for keeping a huge number of folks informed about the progrress of the Synthzone this past week, and Nigel, you've done an incredible job of keeping a great bunch of folks together for a long time.

Gary

And I also want to thank Scott and Donny for updates.

It's great to see you all back. Thought you may have forgotten about the BBS here, it was gone so long.

And many thanks to Scott Yee who called me on the phone to find out what was happening and emailed assurance to other members that I was pulling things back together again.
