We are back online

We are back online

UBPN is, after a downtime of little more than five weeks, back online.

To tell you what happened in as short an explanation as possible, we had both the primary and backup hard drives fail at the same time. An unlucky occurrence. Both of the drives had to be replaced in order to bring the server back online and recovering data from the failed drives was painstakingly slow. We have tested the new drives and software and believe we are ready now.

We apologize to those who relied upon our message boards on a daily basis. We are glad to be back.

A hearty thank you is extended to Ryan McClune, who has spent countless hours doing the tedious work of getting us functioning again.

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: Hi! I am Laura, the mom of Tyler, who has a ROBPI. I've been a member of this site since 1998 and owe a great deal to the wonderful people in the UBPN community who have helped us along the way get what we needed to get done for Tyler. Tyler is now 14 years old and in the 9th grade. He's a super bright kid and loves his video games. Tyler had the mod quad surgery with Dr. Shenaq shortly before he passed. That was his first and only surgery. Now that he is older he is requesting additional surgery. He'd like to be able to supinate. Our goal is for Summer 2013.
