Title: Hopefully we will continue to gain momentum
Post by: LVGaryD on October 16, 2011, 08:08:38 PM

Hopefully In The Sulky forum will continue to gain momentum and get back to the bustling little forum it once was. No one actually knows this except myself, but we had over 2100 registrations on the old forum, over 1000 of whom were permanently booted.

That was prior to our first database error when yours truly restored the database to 2009.  :o Since then, our membership has dwindled and I can't blame anyone. I was simply too lazy to switch hosts until I was forced to do so. Hell I still have another year paid for on GoDaddy!

A computer guru has been consulted several times and she and Ryan agreed on the idea to make the forum the main site since we normally get over 1000 unique hits on the forum each day. Lately it has been well under that figure, but I hope to attract the people back soon.

I will be working the next week or two to restore some of the features we had before the old forum died. Hopefully I can dress it up a bit too...I hate the plain-looking them I have right now!

Thank you all for your patience and support. At least a thousand times I have said to myself,  "Screw the forum-I do not need the hassle!" Then I think about my members and the tremendous friends I've made here and I doubt I can ever close it down!!

Also enabled spell checking for Amy and Noc.  ;D
