Site moved to Ning

Firstly, for those of you you that knew and blogged on the old RoadRunning.org site, it is still available here, just as it was before. The old posts are also syndicated on the home page to ensure they still get a spot in the limelight.

My apologies for the site being down for so long, the server that hosted the old site crashed a while ago and I did not really get around to bringing it back online.

The old platform that it was running on, Community Server 2.0, was, although being a good platform, prohibitively expensive and ultimately far from ideal. Blocking SPAM comments became all but impossible, we could no longer add any new users due to license restrictions and we could not upgrade the software etc.

I moved the site over to Ning for various reasons, firstly the base product is free and for all practical reasons unlimited in its use. It is also a hosted service so there should be no more outages in future. The Ning platform also works a lot easier compared to the rather clumsy Community Server. This will be a much more stable, permanent home for RoadRunning.org.

If you have any questions regarding the new or old site please email me on prieur@gmail.com or send me a message through the site.
