As some of you long time members know, The Gauge has been on many different servers and has taken many different forms in it's 5+ year life... One refreshing and ongoing change is: We keep getting bigger!!

More active members, more posts and more information... but there is an inconvience associated with internet growth, we
must keep moving The Gauge to faster and more reliable servers... One such change is coming soon...

We have (out of experience) set up a Google Group for any and all members to join, so we can still pass information back and forth about the status of The Gauge "if" it goes down for a time... This might not seem important now, but rest assured, when you sign in here and you get the "Forum unavailable" message, you will have to wonder what's going on or go to Google

The last time this happened, The Gauge was down for about a day. But sometimes it happens where, we might be down for a couple of days.... Peter, ezdays and I are asking you all to join, so that everyone who cares, will know the latest status if anything should happen.

If you choose not to join the group at this time, at least bookmark this link so you can go there if need be. Just bear in mind that whenever you do join, there will be a delay before you are approved to view messages there. You are better off joining now than waiting. The group is (private) by invitation only and you will have to set up a free Google account and click below to apply for membership. The group is only open to Registered Gauge Members and is NOT Accessable by search engines.

Please note: We do not expect this Google group to be used in place of or as a suppliment to the Gauge, rather, it will be a place to go if the Gauge becomes unavailable for a period of time so everyone can stay informed, rather than trying to e-mail each other and wait for replies.

.......... See you there
