Way to go, Stormi !!!

The link from the old site worked perfectly....and here I is.

If push comes to shove, I'm sure we can get 20 or 30 members to pony up with $10 apiece to keep things going.....
or maybe 60 members with $5 apiece. Who can't afford $5 a year for all the great info and help that this board offers ??
Cheap deal, IMO. One tip from this board can usually save you 'wayyyyyy more than $5, fer shure.
Again, thank you, Stormi.....even if you own a brand H as well as your Bandit....I guess some people just need something else to compare with the Bandit to know how good the Bandit REALLY is.....

Woo Hoo!! Thanks Stormi, great to see the site back! I'd be glad to help with the support, just let me know where to send the check or cash or whatever. You rock!

LOL! I dunno,.. that Honda's FI sure looks attractive when you've had your carbs off the bandit for the 4th time by june.

Well, I hope to not have to ask for "admission". I'd like to do it the way Pete has been, if he washes his hands of the site. Of course if push comes to shove, and it's the difference between shutting it down, and membership,.. I'll put the choice out there before it goes the way of the dodo.

Right now, let's just enjoy that we're back!

Oh my god!!

alright,.. we've set the record for the new board so far,... 62 users at once! not bad. I'll be holding off on the rest of the email notifications for now. I've sent out 400, and got 100 bounce messages so far,... my inbox is a mess! And that's for the top 400 posters. I don't even want to think of what the bounces will be like for the posters that are under 18 posts total/ per user.

So far, the only glitch is the time on some of the posts? I set the server's time again,.. we'll see if it holds. It's a new server,.. so it has to settle in and figure out which quirk it's going to p!$$ me off with. We may have found it already. ;)

There was a brief hiccup when I changed the email server that we're supposed to be sending through. I'll try that one again later tonight. I'd rather not be sending through my ISP,.. they have "issues".

OK,.. make that 125 bounces.

so,.. by my calculations, I reached potentially 275 users, plus the ones on MaxZuk,.. plus a couple that hit the main site,... and we had a pretty good hit to the site tonight!!

Wow! That makes the work worth it guys!

Might even be marginally faster for you, not having to wait at the border.

How is the speed so far guys?

Rocketboy · « **Reply #22 on:** March 23, 2007, 03:20:28 AM »

i'm not having any trouble with the speed, seems as good or better than before. If you want you can take me off the e-mail list i just click the link on the old site. And i'd be more than willing to chip in if it ever comes down to it.

Oh, and

Stormi, you pretty much rock.

Nice to see the board back up. I miss going to the clubhouse for a laugh. Good job Stormi. Hope you and Pete can get it back together without too much hassle. I can't imagine all the work that goes into maintaining a site such as this. Thanks for your efforts.

solman · « **Reply #24 on:** March 23, 2007, 09:23:20 AM »

Definitely nice to see it back up, thx...

$64000 question: What brought the site down in the first place?

ZenMan · « **Reply #26 on:** March 23, 2007, 11:44:16 AM »

Stormi, you deserve a "Geek of the Year" award or something... thank you very much!

This is working faster than the old board. I have dial-up so it's obvious to me. The only glitch I've seen is one of my posts got lost, it was just a "+2" thank-you note in this thread, but otherwise great job!

A suggestion for operating cash... for $10 PayPal you get a one year "premium" membership with a little star by your name or something, maybe have a special forum for contributors.

Nothing elitist mind you, just a little recognition for helpin' out.

Stormi,
Thanks for getting the site back up

H2RICK · « **Reply #28 on:** March 23, 2007, 12:23:42 PM »

Stormi, the speed is great on my Telus DSL "Lite" connection.
Everything is working great....fingers crossed.

Again, thank you. I'm not sure about "Geek(ess) of the Year" though.....How about "Saint Stormi" ??? or something similar ??

Russtang · « **Reply #29 on:** March 23, 2007, 12:51:05 PM »

Thank the heavens for Stormi (once again)! My sanity is gradually returning to normal...whatever that means.

And may I also throw out a big thanks to Pete for running the site all these years.

Surfing the site takes up a ton of free time. I can't imagine how much time it takes to admin it! Everyone's got busy schedules these days. Just wanted to let you both know I appreciate all the hard work...past, present and future!
