It's been a few days. I know most of you don't really care nor go there anymore. But there is SOME value there. A couple of other sites have popped up I've noticed but, dammit, I can't just add another site to a list I don't have time to go through daily now ...

I knew I should have jumped in and found a way to take that site. Oh well... *laughs* There are others more motivated than myself. Now, if we can find those more capable of operating I guess ... *shrugs*

Every time it comes back I'll drop in every once in a while until it becomes a habit - then it pukes in my face again. I wanted to go bitch about the lack of Peoria area auto-x's and some of the decisions car mfr's have made of late - oh well.

Now that I've bitched. Anyone know what the real status is? Is she done?

The server has a bad raid card.......

I dont know if anyone has any plans to fix it

Well, you could just call up Travis and talk with him. His number is 217.721.6451 Offer to buy it. He's all about selling stuff.

I am suprised that you have not bought it to put up an F-U shrine to KOU biggrin.gif

Something else was in the works but it got sucked into a big hood scoop somewhere and now we can't find it! ph34r.gif

i talked with corey about this... like andy said, it is a hardware issue.. corey said he was willing to go fix it, but he isnt gonna pay out of his own pocket to fix it... and i dont think travis cares enough to fix it
99Spyder
Sounds like it is time for a hostile take-over...

Wow. Go on vacation for a week, come back, still dead. I think it's terminal ...

hahahaha

i'm sure he doesnt care about fixing the problem with the server.. so if we want it fixed, we have to pay for it
Turbo Tension
something like that I bet.

Pay for it... only if ownership was forfeited. biggrin.gif

Let it die. Sell the server on Ebay and give people a percentage of there money back that donated money to buy it..

Like travis would ever give up possession of that.

the server doesnt belong to travis, it belongs to the nfp. so really all that would need to be done is for the nfp to take the server and just change the name of the site.. pretty simple really. its just if anyone knows who is nfp anymore
scrapin_frame
well i doubt anyone has records of who all donated.
i think most of the current users would like to have the site back.. so the nfp taking the server and building a new site with the same name but slightly different url would be the best course of action at this point.

otherwise, the members that still care will have to take a collection and buy the hardware needed to fix it and then still be under some bogus rules.. not all are bogus, but some are.

and for those that doubt the integrity of the site if i had bought it from ben instead of travis, i would have just turned over control to the nfp cuz that is where it belonged.

oh well, no point in even talkin bout this.. travis wont give up the site

that money has nothing to do with the server even.

Get the crap hardware out of it and put in something that works. Hell, I don't understand why RAID's even required for a POS BB. *Shrug*

Really, what I don't understand, is why you'd not get this done through a company that professionally supports the hardware and the network connection for it. I know they cost cash but do you want a POS on the cheap or do you want something that rocks ...

DSMCentral's got a real niche, you know, but imports in Central Illinois - while not huge - could get some real traffic done-up right. Gotta have the time and the seed cash I guess.

Oh, and no, I don't want to buy it. *Laugh*

NFP membership.
Recoil2
What was all of the NFP membership money spent on? Is it still around? Could that be put towards a new card?

There is like 50 bucks maybe, getting the VB license renewed hosed the NFP coffers bigtime


I also see no reason why the NFP would pay to fix the server so it can run CII

when half of the board was banned from it by Travis, and the other refuses to go to the site.


Travis called me yesterday, he was in France on his honeymoon I guess.



Justin @ MTIN thinks its a powersupply issue, which is funny, cuz they didnt bother to plug all 3 in, just one at a time and coudlnt figure out why it would freakin die rolleyes.gif


there may actually be NOTHING wrong with it.


but still. I see no reason why it should go back to MTIN and host CII, as I certainly would vote otherwise. and really....everyones membership is expired by now, save the board members that would be me myschel jim and netter

travis says it should be back at MTIN, but again, he has no acutal claim to it, its up to the NFP if he can still use it anyways

i vote to rebuilding the site with the same url but .net or .com

i'd really like to see bennyz come back to it
Shaun@AMS
so if we renewed the vb, why is it not working.......sell it to spy so we can actually have a site, its goin to rot away otherwise

I never seen it going anywhere.How many trips to Bloomington did I make to sit in someones basement or living room to hear about bullshit "MONEYS" that had nothing to do with the Site?

Yeah, I was the one that forced travis to wreck the car.
I was the one that let everyone know all about it.
I consider that bridge burnt when Travis banned me on CII (after wrecking the car) and then instructed Haunter, Xian and all others present to not breath a word, or he would revoke shop privs to those that talked.

Ill own it, and let hetmen, lenzy, urbanac and everyone else involed in the car community that loves to drive, take it over.

Burnt to many bridges.
I have buildt more than burnt.


Image and I going back and forth is just that. Internet banter to keep it real and fun, unfortunately that one went a bit farther than it needed to, and I have made reperatinos.

Just to clarify a bit here. The domain name is registered to one Mr. Jeffrey for another year. After the whole "wrecked car" fiasco it is my impression that Spy might be one of the last people that the site would be offered to.

I was merely saying that if this turns out to be the case that instead of letting the site die I would also be intrigued by the thought of such a purchase. Hence PM me if the sale is available...
99Spyder
So buy the server from the NFP and change the domain name. Keeping the site and content intact. I say go for it! biggthumpup.gif
Shaun@AMS
god i hope you buy it spy, so it will be back and stay up for more then a couple days at a time!
