How to get updates if DOW ever goes down

Just a reminder to everyone, if / when the site goes down temporarily for whatever reason, I will post site status messages to this email list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/driveonwood

Please subscribe, and set it to “individual emails” - there won’t be many messages. Ideally there’d be none - I will note that we’ve gone nearly 2 years without hiccups.

Bump. The site will be in and out a little, as we work on the server this week. I still recommend subscribing to the email list.

Now at 4 years with no hiccups. Most stable woodgas site on the net. :slight_smile:

Hiccup! Site went down today. We did recover all but yesterday’s posts. At nearly the 10 year mark, I’d say that’s doing OK. Please subscribe if you need to know what’s up with DOW. I will have to perform some updates next week. Site keeps growing, server keeps getting older… maintenance time. Stay informed.

You really should create a FaceBook page for DOW. For one it will be HUGE, second it will drive more users here and lastly it will be the most effective way for you to give updates.

You also already have the infrastructure there to promote your page for DOW. There are a ton of people that belong to all the woodgas groups on facebook. You need to do nothing other than create the page. The members here on DOW will do the rest of it for you.

OK, here you go.

I’ll still post to the email list for outages. But if anyone wants to post on Facebook at least we have a page.

We cant create post not sure if you want that or not. You will need a couple of mods if you open it up so people can freely craete post. But we can comment on your post.
