Many users to the FIRSTConnects.Us site (us included) have been experiencing slowness and an onslaught of error messages.  We sincerely apologize for this (believe us, it's been been just as hard trying to troubleshoot) and think we may have found the cause of these issues.  It looks like the server we're on has been having some overuse issues, including a possible DDOS attack, so we're in the process of moving to a new server in the coming days.  The only effects that you should see is a return to the snappy site we've grown used to, and we'll keep you posted on any

I would like to congratulate all FCU users on being honored by a Regional Chairman's award!  Thanks to all of you, this site has been recognized by at the Northeast Utilities FIRST Connecticut Regional for helping to connect FIRST members, new and old, as part of Dean's homework.
If you're going to Atlanta, we're going to be having an event there, so keep your eyes posted for a FIRSTConnects.Us scavenger hunt.  Prizes include Limited Edition FCU shirts, and it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun!
