Anyway, their fourm was old and littered with tribal knowledge, much like this fourm. The Webmaster abruptly decided to change to a new, trouble-ridden software. This instantly broke nearly every link, how-to and photo on the site. No Private Messages, no "New Posts" option, etc. When the masses revolted, even offered to buy the site from the administrator, he shut down the site. True story... www.Tercel4wd.com
How can we assure this tragedy doesn't befall the SVX community? |
That is horrible. But I think the user/member base that has been here for quite a while or even from the beginning know that is not how I work. Yes, I am slow to add features, but we are very cautious about breaking things. The reason we have not instantly migrated to version 5 of this software is because Jim (back end server admin) has evaluated the code and is not fully confident of its release candidate status. We are still moving to version 4, but we also wont go live with that until we get better results from the test environment lab. Back in 2000 when I said I was willing to try to do thing better than what the free services of Yahoo was offering at the time, Aredubjay challenged me to do it. Then when I presented the sandbox for the new club home, he liked it. Before he was wanting to lead the Yahoo membership to the SVX World Network, he wanted a commitment from me to be a permanent home, a long term thing. We went live in 2001 and we are just a couple months from 14 years of service. I hope I have lived up to the commitment.
