We are delighted to inform you that we will be migrating to a managed service contract with Xenforo, the same company as our forum software. This transition will enable Xenforo to handle server deployment, performance optimization, software installation, upgrades, and maintenance, allowing our Board to devote more time and effort to serving our community.
We appreciate your ongoing support and will provide further updates as we progress through this transition. Thank you for being an integral part of the ARC community.
Why are we doing it? Our goal is to ensure ARC's smooth and secure operation for years to come. We aim to establish a system enabling any Board of Directors to handle issues promptly via phone or email, relieving our volunteer staff of excessive burdens.
What is the impact? Improved data security - XenForo Cloud systems are hardened against attack vectors to prevent data theft or leakage. Improved access to the latest software and addons. Xenforo online support for questions or problems.
When is this taking place? August 15th - Forum users may experience intermittent delays during the hours of 8am-4pm. Please be aware that some data loss could occur for posts made on the day of the server migration.
