Server outage news?
 

The entire ft86club site was offline for about a day and a half with no warning, and I couldn't find any news of what was going on, not even on facebook or twitter, no emails in my inbox. So first question is what happened, and second is there a place where we can get official site news if the site goes down?

*edit* I meant to post this in Site Announcements / Questions / Issues forum

You want a back up forum for the forum?

Well, yeah. I mean what happens if FT86club officially crashes with no backup. What happens to my post counts and "thanks"????

This is a joke right? We are not entitled to this forum being up 24/7. It is up normally thanks to the people who pay for it (sponsors included) and the people who take the time to maintain it.

They don't need to notify us that it is down. This reeks of entitlement.

You start over. Could be fun since we could steal other user's usernames and mess with peoples heads.
Mind you the loss of all the info would indeed really suck. All the guys that love to say "SEARCH NOOB" won't have any response to questions.

I mean if the reason you are posting is to earn "thanks" then that's not really the point of the forum then is it? i thought it was more about helping others fix this car and "how to's" etc. not post counts and "thanks" who care if those get wiped, the important thing is that we don't lose the vital info in this forum.

Don't thank this post lol.

I used to pay to be on the s2000 forum... So, thank you to all that make ft86 free, fun, and functional!!!

The heck with all of the useful information... we MUST make sure the meme thread is backed up and continually available...

Obviously YOU don't know what a forum is for....

I forgot it was a popularity contest. I was wrong. and I'm sorry. I'll like all your posts from now on man. And I'm shipping you a box of tissues for your tears at no charge, I'm paying the shipping. You are right and I am wrong. Have a good weekend man.

Now you're just making sense... :thanks: :cheers:

GOOD, you better!


Thanks man, make sure they're Kleenex, not that generic crap. Very gracious on shipping, at least I don't have to paypal you anything as a "gift."


You too, genuinely. What are you up to this weekend?

First off I have little doubt that Wolf was being sarcastic/ironic in a joking manner.


Second I totally disagree with much of your first statement and all of you second snarky response. I have been on many purely technical forums and it is almost a waste of time. There are always the same small handful of responders and without participation by others there is no debate and no way to tell if their answers are correct or full of shit.


People participate in forums for many reasons not just the passing back and forth of technical info. If somebody is here for the social aspects and actually care about such stats as thanks (for the record I really don't care how many I have) they have every right to be here. The very fact that this forum has so many active people is what makes it so great and like it or not that activity involves much more than just tech. If you don't think the "point" of the forum is interaction between PEOPLE then stick to the tech threads and let those that enjoy the interaction be.

Hey I gave you a "Thanks" so you could "Thanks" me back to get my "Thanks" up on the forum count.

Thanks!
