Avsim spring cleaning underway

[kungfuman]

I'm sure Avsim administrator Tom Allensworth will be happy for me to quote him here:

...We have shut the library down temporarily while we move things around, fix back end issues, clean things up, and generally do a good spring cleaning of code and processes. We do not know how long this will take, but I can assure you that we are working as hard and as fast as we can to get it back online. Keep in mind that this process requires us to rotate things among three servers! Not an easy process and certainly one that will not happen over night. Be assured that we are working to bring it back online as quickly as possible.

Now, I fully expect to see dozens of emails and forum messages demanding to know when it will be back online, why can't you download files, files are missing, etc. Be prepared for silence on our part. We have made a public announcement, posted a notice here, and followed up with this message. If you are reading this, please do us a favor by spreading the word... The library will be back online when we are satisfied that it works, works reliably and is robust enough to handle the terabytes of downloads that occur every month.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.
