Beside, listening to Van Halen very loud and thinking back causes wierd things to associate in yer clyde.

But I remember when webwriting was my big deal, since I had nothing else to do.
Hmm,draining a brew and listening to Van Halen,,Sounds like you want"The Best of Both Worlds"

Its not the server transition that's causing this. Its a down database server at Internet Brands. I don't know where their folks are, or when this is going to be resolved.

I sure hope this doesn't become the norm from Internet Brands.

I think Kens comments confirmed my suspicions(of people passionate about this site replaced by people not so passionate), but I sure hope not

jake00,

The conspiracy theories are uncalled for but not surprising given its you posting them. Its simply a transition issue that needs to be addressed.

I'm sure you do everything perfect.....

I want to post a thing here - PASSIONATE to me.

WE are FTE, nothing else makes us who and what it is and always has been.

Anyone thinking of taking off? Go **** yourself then, I'm here, staying here, glad to be here, and PROUD of everything that makes us who and what we are, and everything we have DONE.

If some people leave, we probably didn't need them anyway...

no theory, I'm not talking about the database issue. I just think that the new people are not gonna care about FTE the way that you, tim, and the other admins/ mods do...you guys are always upfront with us and let us know when somethings gone haywire..

We know you guys, you guys/gals interact with us..... I don't want to lose that closeness..Whoever posted that announcement hasn't even posted here or filled out thier profile...

My first thought was. The sponsors can't be to happy. That has to equate to alot of lost revenue. Nevermind us.

I'll defer to the changeover in systems, etc....particularly since my knowledge of running a web site and computer hardware is about on par with a 5-year old......Whatever, I'm patient.

I gotta admit, though.....The search function being down (2 days now) DOES suk....(I know, I know...there's supposedly a way to search through google using key words and ford-trucks.com......I'm too lazy)......

Plus, it's cutting down on people finding and joining-in on new threads.........

Is that the "you're either with us or against us" argument?.....

Thanks Ken for catching the "REDEYE" and getting the site back up to speed. Everything seems to be back to normal except for the search features.
