Technical Problems

In case you are wondering why civiside has largely been down since Thurs. afternoon (yesterday), our server host decided to migrate our server to another one, in the process lousing everything up for us. Our site became unusable b/c the database was corrupted. We had to spring into action and decide what to do to salvage the situation, and decided to upgrade our site to what we were intending to launch in a week...a brand new civiside.com site! The new site is developed in Ruby on Rails, a cutting edge programming language that makes development leaner and meaner.

The new civiside.com is designed to be quicker, more robust, and easier to use. We took people's feedback to heart and designed from the ground up a service that will get you in and out as quickly as is possible.

Don't be surprised if there are bugs, as we are rolling out this site ahead of where we intended. If you do find bugs use the feedback buttons to let us know and we will be on it lickety split.

As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.
