Okay... it's not going to happen today... but it WILL happen sometime.

So, in order to avoid going to a place where we'll be heavily moderated or outright censored... we've created a BACKUP hideaway.

Check it out! Sign up! Save it as a favorite/bookmark! Be prepared!

An alternate site? How long do you expect the server to be up on jackstands?

Hey Andy,


Can't we just be redirected when the site is down for maintenance?

If 914World.com isn't up, I will mostl likely not remember the url for the yahoo site and have to go to the heavily censored and moderated place to figure out where y'all went.

Lawrence...

I would suggest that you turn on the membership approval feature. This will allow you to manually approve and deny registrants with Yahoogroups. T

Otherwise you will get lots of spammers joing and posting about the latest Penis enlargement drugs...

Also.. I would suggest you DO that so you can block the A-holes you don't like from the other 914 yahoo group. Hee hee.

Also, make sure you block attachments, otherwise you can get lots of spam and viruses sent.

If you need any help or suggestions, let me know...

Andy

it wont ... like he said.

but, *if* it happens in the future, we'll have a place to hang out until it's back up again ...
Andy

yay! im in.....

I thought we were just going to the UFO site. Nice folks over there, except that they don't believe in 914s.

http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/914club/chat

Now we have a chat feature...

Good idea! It's not quite as nice as here, but it'll do in a pinch! No more 914Club withdrawl! Ever!!!

I just reopened the chat on the Yahoo club site.

Officially register!

I'm in.

Just FYI:

When the shit hit the fan... "plans" went into effect quickly making sure that this place would always exist in some fashion or another.

*gasp* No avatars!

Also, did you know code '914' means 'beautiful'? If you don't know what I mean, search the yahoo groups for '914.' I think I joined the 'AsianGirls914' group by 'accident.'

That will be appreciated by the avatar objectors

Thanks Ed,

I seriously thought about giving all this up... but then the "man" gets what he wants (which is for me to go down in flames) I cleared my head and realized I'll NEVER be able to get this out of my system. The "people" cannot be beat. I have met so many friendly 914 people over the years... and after all this.. they are still friendly. Amazing. No matter what happens.. I'll still help 914 people until I die.

I'll be around a lot more as soon as I figure out the job situation and get a computer. Right now I'm bouncing around posting when I can. Sooner or later I'll get my computers back.


B

now we have done it! Sand box my eye!

I made the trip over but its not as fun as the alien site

You know its kinda like going from a Porsche to a VW LOL

Guess we pissed of wayne huh?

If this site goes down....I'll just go harass the tail draggers.....yahoo bites...

Heh...someone has to be contrary....

I'm in... It will be sort of like Methadone. Nice pic Geoff, you were one cool looking cat

Ok, I'm in...but I agree, I like this place MUCH better. No funny smily's over there...

Me??? that is how I look today! Thats the house and the garage is in back with all the stolen cars. I dare you to try to sneak in....


Geoff

Umm Geoff, sorry! What I meant to say was..You ARE one cool looking cat

Done.

The newest Yahoo 914 Hideway group member #64 registered and reporting for duty Sir.

When I tried to register as VegasRacer, they said that ID was not available. I had to try several more variations before I found one that it would let me use. I'm sure you can figure out who I am.

What's with the ID selection BS?

I can't believe all of the combos I tried were actually taken. Is there some trick to the selection process? I still need to go back and register because of this.

Think about it... there are millons of ID's on yahoo.

I'm in, but under my less imaginitive title of mike95125 No status, no title, just a number

Thanks for setting this up, and chat too!!!

Joined. Pain in the ass, but joined. "aircooled_nut" is me

I'm in. Had to use markus765, but I'm there!

Silly question, but I'm happy to donate a server as a mirror if you want. You are running MySQL as the back end, and PHP up front, so it'd just be a matter of replicating the DB to one of my servers, and then making sure the pages were up.

We also have 3 DNS servers that you could park the domain on if you wanted to...

I'm happy to donate whatever time/bandwidth the club needs...lord know's I've got plenty to spare.

Just PM me if you are interested....or to tell me to butt-out.
