        Try to catch you up....
        We lost the original site because the domain expired and we couldn't renew it because it was listed under RWalls business name (urban wildlife) so that created a nasty chain of events which lead to us having to go get a new domain from the .com site to the new .org site. Which then lead to we had to go to this new version Vbulletin.

        Well everything was all good for about a week then our server host crashed our database. They jacked it up beyond repair. So we were dead again for about 2 to 3 weeks.
        so finally a couple days ago Inor did another fresh install and I just rebuilt the front end again.

        So here we are 3rd try hopefully we stay running this time.

        There will be a server-side upgrade coming aroun march 26th thru march 27 the server host will have us shut down for 2 days so hopefully we survive that.

        What have you been up to while we were dead in the water ?

          Not a damned thing Hawg. I did manage to put together a couple of AR lowers. I did an inventory on my primer/powder stash. I mounted another MEC 600 press, this one is a 20 gauge model. I'm trying to clean up my reloading shed, it is a complete disaster.

            Spring cleaning seems to be the main focus for a few us us trying to find the top of the work bench again after the long nasty winter.

              I helped you out with an avatar until you find your way around this new software. Change it whenever you feel like it.

              Welcome back!

              Sorry about how jacked-up the site has been the last month. This upgrade at the end of the month sounds like it is a hardware upgrade, not software. So fingers crossed, I think we should be good. But, then again, all we did last time was complain about the speed of the site and they totally screwed us over. After waiting on them for two weeks to do what they said the were going to do to fix us, I finally gave up...

                Brother, you got nothing to apologize over. I'm probably speaking for most of us, but I'm grateful for the work that you, Hawg, and whoever else put in to keep our little corner of Al Gore's Amazing Internet up and running. Thank you!

                  You members make it possible.
                  And really.... this latest crap was way over my head so the Viking from Arizona really saved our asses this time.
                  Inor did all the real nerd shit in the background. Once he did that I just got out the Lincoln logs and Elmers glue and rebuilt what you see when you log in.

                    Collectively, where do we stand on coin? Was their enough in the coffers to cover the new site, and the V-Bulletin upgrade? Should we pass the hat?

                      Not yet. Inor will lets us know when. He took what was left of the big hat pass last time and had to by the new Vbulletin software I think that was 179.00 bucks or there abouts. So I'm guessing when it time to renew with the retards at HomepageUniverse or seek a new host? he will probably do the accounting then and probably pass the hat then.

                      Yep just let us know. If anyone want's my worthless 2 cents on the matter I say we dump HomepageUniverse. I think they more than proved themselves to be incompetent, worthless, and undeserving of our business.

                      Hawg! Tell those useless server guys that we are a bunch of grumpy old bastards with nothing left to lose. If they screw us up again, they will be getting a visit from some mean old SOBs with inflamed hemorrhoids.
