W-body bored?

[SappySE107]

Definetly! Once we have it up and running, you will be able to submit articles (though pictures will have to be put in the gallery and then linked to from there I think). Im not quite sure how to break down the site articles yet, so I guess we will see what happens

I'm not going to comment on the whiny bickering between forums, but I would like to participate in the new site's construction or contribute as much as possible. I was a member of W-Body for over a year, and I managed to keep on everyone's good side as far as I know. I've also owned 3 of the cars, and I know that a CAI and Ram-air aren't the only way to make a car go faster.

That's why God invented stickers.

Stickers and the "Mexi Power Stripe of Doom!"


Yeah, I was on there for close to a year as well and tended to stay away from stupid arguments. Although one time I told a newbie why I liked the 95-96 Regals better than the 88-94's and it rubbed Shawn (GnatGoSplat) the wrong way cause he hates the 95-96's and loves the 88-94's. It ended up blowing over and we agreed to disagree, and I kind of kept comments like that to myself afterwords.

Other than the "Whatever" section becoming mind-numbingly retarded, the main discussion areas were relatively free of bull$#!+ and gave me a good education in all of the quirks of the W-Body (and also a good place for me to share my follies.) We had built up a pretty good community of knowledgeable members, and as long as you knew who to ignore, you could come away with some good advice. I only hope we can build it back up to a respectable level (and hopefully keep out all of the rif-raff!)

As if I haven't babbled enough, I think I'm going to christen myself "Springfield Choppers" on the new board. I'm kinda sick of "DiscoStudd" and my name on this board is just plain stupid (it's what I call my "office" at work: "K.B. World Headquarters.")

Okay, that's enough from me...

Cool!

Then could you make my name Springfield Choppers ? (That is if it's not too long...)

Thanks!

The site got shut down unexpectedly due to bandwidth overuse. I guess I should have seen it coming, but I like to live in my own little world where I pretend everything is A-OK. I have moved onto new hosting with 3x the bandwidth, but unfortunately, forum backups are being held hostage by my previous host so the forum will have to be started over from scratch. This will have to wait till after DNS propagates so it'll be a day or two.

Needless to say, Shawn got pissed at me, I got pissed at him, and he banned me. Talk about letting someone have their own opinion.

I got pissed at you because you were trolling. You had nothing better to do than bash the 3800 engines in virtually every thread. It was like you eat, sleep, and breathe just to bash an engine. Having an opinion is one thing, bashing and trolling is quite another. It got old, fast. When I saw you had at least 2 SN's where you pretended to be 2 (or more) different people, that was the final straw and you were temporarily banned.

You know how I feel about that prick and his B/S good for nothing worthless site. Good I hope it stays down. Like the 3800, its getting the axe. If it comes back up I'll drive over his friggen computer. He'd better watch his hands.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Other than banning Taylor, calling your other friend a "spoiled brat", and disagreeing with your opinion on the 3800, I don't know what I ever did to you personally. If sticking up for your friends means hating me, then I can respect that. I certainly hope your ill feelings towards me are due to you being a good friend and NOT over a silly disagreement over a stupid engine.

What do they want for the database? You don't keep a backup local? I learned my lesson on doing backups with all the crap that has happened to us.

[SappySE107]

Screen name has been changed...so make sure you use it for the login:P also, what kind of bandwidth are you using up no shawn? We are still solid with less than 10 gig a month.

[GnatGoSplat]

What do they want for the database? You don't keep a backup local? I learned my lesson on doing backups with all the crap that has happened to us.

They want $128 for 6-months of overages. We were using about 20GB/month according to the warning emails I sometimes got, although when I would check my DirectAdmin quotas, it would show I only used 85% of my bandwidth. I tried arguing with them, but the guy was a dick so I just told him to close my account.

I used to keep weekly local backups for awhile, but it would take a long time to DL ~400MB, even with my T1 connection (not to mention I worried about the Networking Dept wondering what I was doing on my office machine). Eventually, I got complacent and kept them less frequently until I quit keeping them at all. A few months ago, I deleted my last database backup because it was over a year old. I should have kept backups, and I should have switched providers as soon as I started getting those emails. No one has to say it, I already know I'm a moron but there's no use crying over spilled milk!

After discussing our options with Luke and Brian (Turby is MIA, email-wise), we've decided to just start over. 95% of what was on the forum was just chit-chat and socializing anyway.

so does this mean Wbody and 60v6 will merge? (as in.. you type in w-body.com or 60degreev6.com and it goes to the same place)

[Crimson Fury]

anyone that had some FS or WTB exchanging going on are pretty much s.o.l as far as losing contact and what not i assume

[GnatGoSplat]

No merging going on that I'm aware of.

Yeah, I'm afraid so... unless someone wants to caugh up $128 for the backups.

[SappySE107]

um yeah, this isn't a platform site so I don't see how merging would help. Actually, the only merge type setup I can ever see being valuable would be having l67swap, beretta.net, v6z24, quad4forum, this site, w-body.com, and all the other FWD sites to create a mega site. That would be sick...a true gmfwd.com setup
