I just tried to get on the 914club website. Is it down, or is it just me?

I'm sure it's a hassle trying to integrate a DB made for IPB version 2.1.7 into a version 2.2.1 board. Each IPB upgrade they change the DB layout slightly and 2.2.1 was a big upgrade. If I were them, I would set up a 2.1.7 server, import the data, run the upgrader for 2.2.1 and then try and import the data. It looks like they just tried to manually force it in. Which has been a PITA every time I've tried it.

Mark, why must you come here and speak gibberish (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

I admit I am new to the 914 Club/World and was away for a couple weeks...but what happened here. I get back and get the notice of the launch of 914World and I assumed it was replacing/upgrading the 914Club site.

Obviously I am missing something ...someone care to fill me in. Thanks

No it appears to be the ultimate 914Club.com admin and leadership divorce. 914Club founder and loyal supporters are continuing to run 914Club. And fiesty Ex914club Admins started a socialist like "member focused" site called 914World. When the parties split they had a child custody battle over the old 914club.com content. Appears they struck a deal for joint custody.

I did see the historical content on the 914club.com site today before it went back down! Soon we will have two almost identical 914world and 914club sites which I find quite hilarious.

Oh biggest change is niether site trusts their members enough to allow them to delete their own posts anymore. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thanks for the brief explanation , I know I came late to the split , but I thought a simple explanation was not too much to ask for.

I had searched through 3 pages of posts prior to your reply , assuming someone else had asked the question, and sure enough found lots of detail.

The odd part was the way the new club was announced , accessing the old club email addresses , anouncing the new club in a format that would leave most believing that the 914Club had gone the way of the Dodo.

Its not a shot at 914World, I just think a more detailed explanation should have been part of the email. I see a lot of familiar names here , as well as similar great expertise on teeners and virtually the exact same content.

I have enjoyed my brief time in the 914 communitee and clearly just want to interact with people who love these cars. I know the political BS is the reality whenever you get a large group together ..... it is a shame when it splits up a solid communitee.

Right now I will continue to participate in good faith , and hopefully can continue to learn without having to juggle 2, 3 , 4 sites.

Cheers
