The Great WIX black out of 2008

[Jesse C.]

Thanks Ryan! Whatever wire you shook, keep shaking it!

[quote="Scott WRG Editor"]Well, that was special. I have been in Atlanta, GA since Thursday and have been out of internet connection till now.

Gee Scott, how about next time you are coming my way let me know ahead of time, & we can show you some of that good ole Southern Hospitality. I got a real crappy week ahead of me or I would say come on over. Hope you understand. Thank you guys for getting the site back up. Happy Labor Day yall!

What pisses me off is these turds woudln't do it in real life, because they know they would get their noses mashed into what little brains they have.

*breaks the fifth wall*

you sugar should be ashamed of yourselves. Go find another site or better yet, make you own so you can see just how much work Scott puts into this thng...for FREE no less. Damned retards.

*scowls*

Thanks, Ryan and Sott, for all you do.

PS, Jack, you got a lot of 'splaining to do.

Thanks for all the hard work and phone calls to get WIX back up guys! I had gotten to the point of staring at the 403 FORBIDDEN screen and banging my head against my desk. Glad things are back up and running.

It makes me feel better that I wasn't the only one

Ryan,

Thank you many times over for your efforts to get WIX back on line.

Scott,

Thank you many times over also for your day to day efforts to bring us this wonderful website! I suggest you take (but not accept) the abuse as a sort of perverse compliment. Some folks obviously got upset because the site is so important to them.

To Everyone Else,

If you're not supporting WIX but can afford it, please consider helping Scott out. All he requires of us is that we treat each other with a minimum amount of respect.

Whew,
Thanks Ryan, again.

Hey Scott, I didnt send anything rude, or inappropriate, did I?

I was in WIX withdrawal shock. It was like the day I lost my fix of misspellings and bad grammar a few years back. You know when.

Wow, I had gone back to thesamba.com forum for a few days, those VW people are alot meaner than here.

[Tulio]

Sincerest thanks to Ryan and to Scott.

If I may suggest, have you guys considered the possibility of buying a server? I know that it means investing some $$, but I am also sure that we could find the money amongst ourselves.

I for one, would be glad to contribute towards this endeavour.

And, re: Those who -without having all the information available- decided to send nasty e-mails: FLOCK THEM.

We, as a group, don't need them here.


Saludos,


Tulio

I'm glad the site is back in action. I know how difficult managing these sites can be.

I just find it amazing that several persons sent nasty emails to the managment. Grab ahold of a little technical information next time before you go making yourselves look like idiots.

[Pogo]

Well, I'm pretty sure my email wasn't offensive ... I'm just sorry I sent it at all, and added to the congested mess. I've been around these internet forums enough to know it was just a server glitch of some sort. So...

THANK YOU Scott and Ryan!! And to the retards who think getting nasty helps anything. Now, to place my subscription ... WIX rocks!

[warbird1]

Thank you so much, Scott and Ryan, for all of your tireless and thankless tasks of keeping this site running! Your efforts are not unnoticed! To show my appreciation, I have sent you guys a nice donation to help defray the costs. I challenge anyone who uses this forum to send in some amount of money. I rely on this site almost exclusively for my warbird news and needs. I have saved a lot of money by allowing a lot of my magazine subscriptions to lapse. I have now forwarded that savings to the WIX fund!

Everyone please show your appreciation and donate to a good cause. This temporary blackout just shows how much we all rely on the WIX for our warbird fix!

Thanks!

[Owen Miller]

Welcome back! I figured it was some sort
of server problem. Thanks for all the hard work!

[Ryan Keough]

Thanks guys -- but I have to admit, Scott is the real person for us to thank. If it wasn't for his enthusiasm 10 years ago, WIX may have not been born and we all wouldn't have this fantastic resource. His hours of tireless time working on the behind the scenes stuff makes the site sorely missed when it's offline.

It's the least I could have done -- Scott deserves a vacation!

[Pogo]

My subscription has been placed.

[RyanShort1]

Congrats on having the site back up! It's a very valuable resource.
