Default PCA's Website Crashed Tuesday...

They have a message on their server stating it may be down for an extended period. http://www.pca.org/

http://clubregistration.net/ is independently owned and operated so you can still sign up for any event you desire. Here's their listing of the next 6 PCA Club Races:

Hi JR! I got a message from PCA yesterday. They are working on restoring to their new server within 24 hours, and switching to their new website in the process. Since we communicate with our members through the PCA email service, I sure hope it is soon, and in working order!!

Did they give themselves a 13/13?

Why did you break their site John? It's always you West Coast POC guys.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they were going to change / update the site?

It appears the new site should be up soon:

"The current pca.org hardware suffered a major failure Tuesday night (4/14) at 7:50pm CDT. We have spent several hours with vendor support and have come to the conclusion that the machine cannot be quickly repaired. As a result, pca.org and about 100 regions, zones, and Parade hosting are down.

We already had a transition plan to move to new server hardware purchased last year. The equipment is configured and mostly ready to go, and will be the basis of our recovery plan. We have web site backups from Monday night and are restoring them now. These are huge and will take many hours just to copy. Database backups will be restored from Sunday night.

We hope to have 95% of regions/zones/Parade back up within another 24 hours. A few will take longer but this should be a minimal problem overall.

We do not plan to resurrect the original pca.org web site at this point. We are 99% finished with the new site and will bring it up ahead of plans; stay tuned for a club-wide email regarding your new login password for pca.org."
