Possible Downtime Alert
I am working to migrate THR from the current cluster to a new one. I would like to get this done before the weekend, but it's unclear what the timeframe will be, as testing is still ongoing. As I am writing this the new (rebuilt) host is doing a burn-in to ensure that everything will keep running under load.
When the migration happens users will see a Cloudflare message indicatating it cannot connect to the server. This is expected, and depending on how the migration goes this may last from 30 minutes to 3 hours - I won't know more until testing the various migration options is complete and I have finalized the plan.
More information is available in this thread.
As always, thanks so much for your patience.

My favorite gun writer, learned a lot from his articles over the last 40 years.

RIP...
Darn! Venturino, Hampton, and now Taffin. Three "modern" gun writers with whom I've never found fault. All plain, honest, dedicated and able to write without overdoing anything nor self aggrandizment. I have followed them since their beginnings.

He was one of the few writers left that I enjoyed. We grew up in the same era with me being just a little older. Sad to see him gone.

I enjoyed his writing for decades. Godspeed, Mr. Taffin.
Very sad. He was a good teacher in more ways than one.
