Look to you left moron:p Looks like it's back, along with a few other nifty things I like.:)

Yes, I've been busy lately... :D

If you edit your profile in the user control panel you can make your ride(s) appear on the left side now, and have the listing(s) linked directly to your user's rides record(s), if you enter the vehicle title and index number for each one. If you do not have the vehicle in the user's rides, and therefore enter no corresponding index number, it will be listed but not linked. If you have a listing for the vehicle (you can list up to 3 in your profile) and enter its index number then when it gets displayed next to your posts it will be linked directly to your listing for it. In addition, if you have a gallery with media files (regardless of what category they are in) then a link will also be displayed to "View my media files" that pulls your gallery directly up when clicked on...

It'll pick up, it does appear alot slower than normal. I always liked the fact that it didn't move as fast as some of the other boards and I could actually keep up with it. It also makes it seem friendlier, to me anyhow.

Glad to see the post count is back and I really like the members vehicles being listed... cool **** indeed!

I'm still here.
 
hey ya'll...
Well, I will be the FIRST to admit that the last few months w/ my personal life and just life in general, Ive been a little scarce here. Actually Very Scarce! :(
Ive been mainly active in one other Mustang Board for personal reasons, and I dont even get on there every day..and Ive been to other boards too, but thats not why.
Seems like when I do post, its just different. And the last time I made a thread, I felt a little blown off.....thats just ME! Guess I'm a little sensitive... Even though it was something that I posted on other boards, It was still important enough to me to wanna share it here w/ those of you that DONT frequent any other forums and with boards that I feel like are my 'home'.....
anyways...I'm still around. :) And although I dont post like I used to, its not saying that I wont ever. I miss alot of you guys and I do check out the boards from time to time to keep up w/ those that have remained my friends...
I hope everone is doing great, and I'm sure as far as MW goes....It will come back again. Like Dan says...It ALWAYS does!!! I still consider MW my home. :D
:cool:TNT :cool:

Geeze, I haven't posted here in a long time. I see a few old names like TT, Chris, Tireburner, RBatson, etc, but a lot of new names as well. I initially left for two reasons. 1) The site runs too slow. I was on dial up and it was pure hell. I'm now on DSL.... and it's still slow. :( 2) I moved on to another site where I can talk politics, sex, computers, and cars all at once.

Don't get me wrong, this is still a great site. The tech info is outstanding and there are knowledgable people here too.

StangFlyer 08-20-2003 03:39 AM

Ponycar_302 - Glad to have you back. I hope you'll stay around and keep posting. What caught my eye here though is you said the site was slow... You know, a few people have said that at times, but I just can't see it. I've tested loading this site from multiple locations, on both dial-up and broad band services, and it always loads fine for me. In fact, with recent changes that have been implemented and those about to come with hardware/servers, it's only gotten and will continue to get better too. Any time I've tried, the site pages load in under only a second or two with broad band (cable/DSL) and in under 30 seconds (depending on the page) with dial-up. I just used my dial-up account on my laptop and loaded the forums homepage in less than 20 seconds with a 56K connection.

Most would not be aware, but Mustang Works has TONS of hardware power behind it. Mustang Works is actually now part of my company, McClain Technologies, Inc. that I formed this year. MTI has a 20 server data center with all dual processor IBM servers using high speed SCSI RAID arrays on a high speed internal network and is jacked into the Internet through a fractional T3. The main site, the forums, the media center, ad system, and the images that make up the site design ALL have dedicated servers for them. And, it's all about to get even more power by being switched from individual dedicated servers to being run on a hardware load balanced system served by a cluster of EIGHT dual CPU IBM servers. Man, I don't know what to do in order to make things faster and more scalable than that on this end! :rolleyes: Yeah, the site's graphical design is a bit "fat", but it's not that bad... especially on broad band. It FLIES over here with any testing I do on any kind of a high speed connection (not to mention sitting on the LAN).

Hi Dan.
Good to see you too.

TNT :cool:

StangFlyer 08-20-2003 03:45 AM

Ohh.. don't worry about it topless. I still love ya'. ;)

Ponycar_302 08-20-2003 03:49 AM

Don't sweat it, Dan. I'm not angry or anything. My #2 reason I've stated should have been #1. I enjoy bouncing from subject to subject, which is why I post at discussion site. I get my news there, talk politics, talk sex, enter in photo chop contests, read jokes, give car advice, etc. This is a great board, but the main two topics are cars and ricers. I don't care to talk about ricers, and I can only talk cars so much before I have to go argue with a liberal commie democrat against turning America into another socialist failure like the former USSR. :D

Ponycar_302 - When did you get that error? What times of the day, etc... PM me some details.

There have been a lot of recent changes that have been made to the set-up over here. Perhaps it occurred when I was having to stop/start equipment or take things offline for brief periods. I have done a lot of work lately in the "wee hours" when traffic is at it's lowest and the least interruption will happen. The entire network was re-engineered over here over the past week...

CobraJet428 08-20-2003 12:39 PM

Don't rush off!!!
 
I hope all of you long timers don't abandon us new folks!!!!I just got here and have been enjoying reading the posts..I've been hanging out in the Blue Oval Lounge more than anywhere simply to get to know a feel for the folks who post here...just my 2 cents worth

Dark_5.0 08-20-2003 01:10 PM

I tend to be a little too abrasive for the Blue Oval Lounge so I stick to Windsor power mostly.

CobraJet428 08-20-2003 01:26 PM

Windsor Power
 
Are you into building 351W's?

Dark_5.0 08-21-2003 02:44 PM

Ive honestly never wrenched on a 351W I have been heavily into 302's for the past 3-4 years.

After I Blow this one apart I am going to go with a 351W.
