I Have a problem. why is it that when something as important such as a server change us users were not notified? Most of the user have probably left. I left a week ago and even took off my 'proclub.com' stickers off my car because I am tired of the site going down. Be surprised if I am back. :mad:

You don't know all the circumstances involved, so please don't pass judgement. Things were a mess, mainly because godaddy screwed up the nameserver entries pointing the site to a park page for a week ... and it took forever to get in touch with Jeff to get the godaddy login and fix the nameserver entries. It also took time to get a database dump from the old webhost, transfer, and test it on the new boxes.

This stuff takes time, I wish I could have had access to the site while doing the transfer ... but godaddy pointing it to a park page really screwed up that plan.

I understand the 'unforseen circumstances' but, I believe it will be very hard to get the usual users back. I met many good friends because of here but now I realize that 'you can't put all your eggs into one basket'. Many users are upset with the realiability that the site has shown lately. I know it's not your fault, your doing the best you can with limited resources. Good luck. I'll pop in and out to check on info that is stored here and to see if my friends are back here.

quit whining, people will return.
if they choose not to, that's too bad, their loss.

90210brandon October-20th-2003 01:19 PM

I apologize if I'm 'whining', I have moved on...but I do know a good thing when I have it. I am just not going to put as much effort into it as I did. So I am leaving now, *closing the door*

Bill October-20th-2003 04:20 PM

Site back up!!
 
Hey Guys, glad to have the site back up!! I was concerned that it was shutting down for good, but that's not the case, I guess. Thanks for all the hard work trying to fix/improve the site!!

Thanks, more like we're UP for good. Now that we're on the good boxes, and under my control, the site is here to stay.

I'm going to try and get a Photo Gallery up tonight ... a grand re-opening treat :D

Hey, could you make your sig less than 800 pixels wide? Kinda annoying having to stretch the browser for a signature. Something like a normal banner size would be more considerate, like 460 wide.

^CL4RK^ October-20th-2003 07:22 PM

Yeah. I agree that its nobodys fault really, but I have noticed a lack of posts and related items. O well. What can u do.

BOOSTD 7 October-20th-2003 07:38 PM

How about a photo gallery for us? Will get the header integrated, and link it in soon ...

BOOSTD 7 October-21st-2003 01:20 PM

If you go into your User Control Panel, options ... there are 2 new styles to choose from. Haven't modded the banner yet, but will tonight most likely. I like them, they're a nice change of pace.

I'm still working on the FINAL look. Creating a vBulletin template from scratch takes a LONG time.

Rider69 October-21st-2003 09:14 PM

I have a question...Are we going to be banned if we refer to posts posted on http://clubprotege.com ?

BOOSTD 7 October-21st-2003 09:26 PM

I don't care if you link posts. Just don't come on here with the sole intention of promoting the other sites. Don't post stuff like "this place sucks, come checkout whatever.com"

As long as you contribute, I'm cool with competition.

90210brandon October-21st-2003 10:36 PM

Hmmmm., nice answer. I like it. :cool:

BOOSTD 7 October-21st-2003 10:39 PM

I'm cool with competition cuz I know I can win, hehehe

Rider69 October-21st-2003 10:49 PM

Well, with your "I am the greatest webmaster of all time" attitude, I can see that there will be problems gettign the kind of subscriber base this site once had. Maybe if the site was run by people who actually own and love Proteges, there would not be such an attitude

I just keep it up and add features ... you guys run it. It's the users who make the site, I just give them a reason to come here in the first place. That's all. I'm good at that part, and need help for the rest.

There are just to many sub-forums here ... gotta trim down somewhere.

BOOSTD 7 October-27th-2003 09:26 PM

Why does everybody have to cop an attitude?

90210brandon October-28th-2003 05:06 PM

Would you guys stop fighting already...

BOOSTD 7 October-28th-2003 05:29 PM

Oh lord :rolleyes: You guys really are incredible. Does every Protege come with a chip to place on your shoulder? Jesus ... just chill.

I asked the other mods if they approved my changes before I made any, and they said ok.

Some of you guys really do define immature. Just attention whores bitching as much as possible in public to try and get heard. Nothing gets changed here in awhile, and you bitch because we don't care ... now I'm busting my ass making changes, and you bitch because you don't like them. Take a clue from the guys who are working to make a positive influence. Either offer to help or I have no time for you.

90210brandon October-28th-2003 05:39 PM

Hey BOOST, I with you man, deep down BLUE is too. He just is on another site. That's all. I don't mind the changes you and the other mods have done, because they don't affect me. Good work. *Bowing*

90210brandon October-28th-2003 09:49 PM

As fun as this conversation isn't,...I not wasting any more of my time with this thread.

kind of like you and jason both have chips on your shoulders?:rolleyes: by my count you only have 3 of the old mods that were here, that put their time into this site to get the members that made this site great. do you really think i would have posted almost 3000 times, most all to help people if i didn't like it here? the other mods probably had no idea how much traffic the audio section had. can't you look at the #'s? the only thing that needed to be changed here was the reliability. everything else was fine. but then jason had to come along and stomp his feet and show he was the boss:rolleyes: course I'M the immature one:rolleyes: he got rid of almost all the mods, and definitely the most knowledgable ones. and after all was said and done, and the servers got switched, and pretty much everyone switched to other forums I offered to mod the audio section and was willing to mod whatever else needed help. but jason being the dick his is threw it in my face cause i mod on clubpro. sorry, but that is childish. i offer to make this site better after all the shit hit the fan, and what do i get for my offer to help? an attitude from our fearless leader:rolleyes: so yeah, i still have a sour attitude towards this site and those in charge of it. and getting rid of a specific audio section didn't help things.
Why are you still on this site? Cant you take a hint :rolleyes:

BOOSTD 7 October-29th-2003 08:38 AM

Everybody ... relax!

BOOSTD 7 October-29th-2003 12:59 PM

We can always change the layout of things ... so how about, instead of complaining, offer suggestions. What would you like the Audio section to look like?
