Site Upgrades - Donation Drive

[navdoc101]

I'm glad to help, this site/forum has been reward enough. I've learner a lot & meet some great people.

I got my hostings from hostgator for years now , 10$ per month , unlimited everything.

The killer is VB , its not cheap to buy , and to update , you still gotta pay. Want a cool forum mod , gotta pay. Then you want a nice looking theme on it? Guess whos gotta shell money again.

Done.

Your support is amazing. Thanks so much guys. I know Brian is overwhelmed with the support we've seen for this.

Just an update as to where we stand with testing... The site is live and running on our new server and we've got a group of people that will begin testing the various site functions over the next several weeks. The changes to get the site up and running are minimal, which means that when we are ready to migrate everything over, it should be a relatively quick process to get up and running.

Again - thank you for all your support.

We just renewed out license for VBulletin, which gives us access to the newest version of the software! We are going to tie this into the migration too.

Thanks for all your donations, as this provided the ability to make these changes happen.

Awesome news Simon.

I hope everyone understands this is great for the community and that we could still use more to help with the upgrades and migration. Every penny goes back to the site in numerous ways....like the stickers that so many want...and I know there are other items the owner has talked about for appreciation gifts that he would like. Plus the monthly fees for the hosting and such.

Thank you to all that have already donated.

Dude thanks for posting those links, ive been digging through old photos and finding super rare pics of my festiva with a B3 still in it and build pics from when it originally got its B6T in it with the stock trans behind it :shock: that's going back like 10 years ago!! So needless to say i've never seen these pics and i'm glad i came across them from the links you posted, so thank you very much!!
