Welcome to SI 3.0!
Congratulations! You’ve made it to SharperIron 3.0.
You’ll have to create a new account for yourself unless you’re one of those I’ve notified that your account has already been created. Please understand that the unusually high volume of new registrations means that it’ll take a while for some of you to get approved.
This version of “3.0” is not quite what we had planned. I’ll spare you all the details of what went wrong.
The short version is that the tools for moving data from SI 2.0 to 3.0 seemed effective in testing, but proved to be a problem when it came time for the real thing. Database corruption resulted and this caused a great deal of strain on the server.
For various reasons, it was also not possible to go back to 2.0 after moving half way to the new system. Didn’t plan on burning any bridges, but discovered they’d gotten burnt anyway.
OK, the really short version is that the migraton was a total disaster.
The good news is that we still have the old data and we’ll eventually find a way to make it accessible. The bad news is that not even the user base from 2.0 was successfully migrated. You’ll have to create a new account for yourself unless you’re one of those I’ve notified about your account has already been created. Just click register.
So, sign up and enjoy the new site and please accept my apologies for the way this turned out. But it’s all uphill from here.

Furthermore, some of you will be approved for posting but won’t have immediate access to either the women’s or pastor’s forums yet. If that happens to you, please PM me right away and I’ll fix your permissions. It happens because we’re approving registrations en masse, so we’ll need to go back and individually add in permission [on your profiles] for those forums. As I said before, please be patient with us!
Thank you so much for your understanding as we work through the transition period.

To err is human. To REALLY mess things up requires a website upgrade!
I have been involved in a couple of these things. I hope the bruises on your forehead will diminish quickly!
You need to know that those of us who participate on SI *really* appreciate what you do to provide us with this forum. Thank You Very Much!

It will take some getting used to for this man who still uses a computer as a glorified typewriter.
