Now you have the secret .......... we shall hunt you down and give you the full treatment ...... but if we told you what that was the, fear would kill you  ;D

I sense it was a "spirit", what else can " V*&%$" be ?!

That is the State, (in the United States), that the server is located in.
I don't know if Pete wants everybody to know  ;)

Yup - Location: Arlington Virginia - which is effectively a suburb of Washington, DC. Anyone can find this out by doing a little searching on domain names or a tracert to our site or files. We actually own 3 servers to split the load - 2 are purely for files & a new 'big one' with multiple this's & that's serves the main site - a lot of files & the forums. A web server is a basically computer built to serve internet files - similar to a PC but without things like sound & graphics cards & usually with extra processor power, RAM & HD space.  The way it all works has at times been tricky to get right but luckly bandwidth & computer hardware has grown hugely in the past few years taking most of the stress out of this whole thing ...

I am just a 'central pivot' & it all would be nothing without a pile of people that - contribute files - help out technically - moderate our forums - contribute to our forums with fantastic info - provide graphics that inspire others, etc.

So there you go .... news from the backroom boy

Whatevernoncence we say, it is still humbling to learn the inginuity other people have.

Now you're just sucking up ........ several cases of beer for the Gods should placate us  ;D

Well yes, you are only down the road, is it Burnaston (my ex airfield hangout, now a housing estate), Belper, Matlock, U toxeter or where, I'll get Tesco to deliver you a few largers to soften up things.

I think this is the first start of Simviation, way back in history:

They had some sweet downloads on that site  ;).... It could be called the Neandritol (excuse my bad spelling) of the current SimV

[quote]Dave, what can I say, you are a gem.

I sence it was a "spirit", what else can " V*&%$" be ?!

Thanks a lot, it opened my eyes to what lengths, expence & no doubt headaches creative people go to, to keep themselves busy & alive, & provide dummies like me with so much to do & pleasure to pass our elderly times. And it takes a split second to get it, amazing where the world has come to.

Keep up the good work all you good people.
