I'm beginning to think the Starliner crew will be back before the forum is fixed.

Yeah, I agree. Might be good thread to start with odds.  :)

I would go back to the end of 2022(?) when Kes was forced to move everything to a new server.  IIRC He hadn't upgraded vB because all the new versions didn't support iTrader.  The first server move was when performance problems started.

Crew still stranded, too, and they were only supposed to be there for 11 Days IIRC.

At least the hatch didn't pop out or the booster didn't explode on launch...
