Not here for the color, CERTAINLY not here for the games (there's a game section?), not here for the smilies. Like many others I'm here for the people, the ATTITUDE, and the family feel, but more than anything else I'm here 'cause the tC folks aren't here...

(Apologies to the xB2 folks, but I'd even like it if it was xB Classics only.)

I'm here for the ideas and the people. This is the first and only car site I've ever gotten involved in. In the past I would make fun of David but I thought I would give this one a try since he made it and I drive a B. I had never gotten into working on my car but through the ideas on here I have done a lot now

O/S handle lights
Ooooga horn
CAI
Spark Plugs
Debadge
HVAC Lights
Cover AC line
Cabin Air Filter
Painted my Pillars (early this week)
Dropped my car (today)

all of this I learned about on this site

I would like to see things more clearly organized to find later. I was trying to find some things to look back on yesterday and I had a hard time finding it because it was tagged on to another thread.

Things are moving along nicely, however, it is possible that I'm gonna need to upgrade the forum in 2 separate parts, one to upgrade the software, the other to upgrade the look. I do not want to do this, but it may be necessary due to the huge difference between the forum versions. I'm gonna try and make this as painless as possible, so bear with me through the process. Of course I will warn everyone when it happens

That is all

2 is always better than 1, lol.

Just so long as you have backups of everything and can go back if there are massive problems, and that you let your members know beforehand that you will be making changes (don't pull a Yahoo!).

Doing it is two stages may be better overall, anyway, that way changes in process can be separated from mere changes in look, and troubleshooting might be a whole lot easier...

^ You speak of these backups like you've had a problem in the past

I've got 3 sets of backups in 3 different cities

First server I ever had on-line (a UNIX box in my office at home running Usenet and Mail for myself and some friends 1984-1991) had a HD failure in '86, and my most recent back-up was almost two weeks old.

These days even my laptop has a second drive and does backups...

I get like that, and it really bugs me when folks futz around and drag their feet about things like that.

(For example, at another site we lost a massive amount of behind the scenes data (ban info) and the admins screwed around long enough before trying to get it back that the backups had already been overwritten.)
