• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Ok Cafe Husky friends; It appears that the beloved site is not overly financially robust at the moment. Ongoing care and maintenance is required. Given there is in excess of 25,000 members most of whom have derived much benefit from this site, it is hard to believe that there exists circa only 25 contributing members. If you can find the means to contribute a few dollars then we are assuring ongoing site longevity. The amounts can be a modest as say 5USD-more would be better. Please dig deep. there are two previous threads that detail "how to contribute".
So come on good people, lets get this valuable site into a secure and tenable financial condition.
