THE TWRECK PAGE IS MOVING!!! April 7-9

Post by Omar »

Due to high bandwidth usage, I am forced to move the Twreck Page to it's new home:

The Amp Garage
http://ampgarage.com

Starting on Friday night (April 7), the Twreck Page will be down as I will be moving this board to the Amp Garage site. If all goes as planned, you should be able to access the new site by some time Sunday (April 9).

The Good News
The Amp Garage has a much higher monthly bandwidth allowance. I've been getting charged for going over the monthly bandwidth allowance for the past couple of months. The move was prompted by my last bill and the realization that we will exceed this month's allowance by sometime next week.

The Bad News
Unfortunately, the new site will not have the cool features I talked about in my previous posting. The board will be pretty much the same, but with the features of reducing large images and have a "search titles only" option.

I have been absent from this group because I have been spending all my free time testing out various software packages. While there are a number of very cool software packages (phpNuke variants), I can't find any that will smoothly migrate our board. The biggest stumbling block is the inability to migrate all the attachments.

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Best of luck on the move this weekend! I will be looking forward to it. The old board here has been a wonderful place to hang out with a great bunch of people. It has become the #1 place for all things Trainwreck and Dumble in a very short time. Last weekend's traffic and new builds should show you that this site is growing and will probaly continue to get even bigger after others see and hear some of the amps being built. (You've single handedly created a monster :D )

Just make sure you post something on the new site where we can paypal you some money to help out with the cost of the site. I'm sure there are a lot of us out here who would contribute to keep the site running.

A big thanks for getting all of this started!

I'd throw you a bone. Lots of us have benefitted greatly from the information and from the people here, so a small contribution is more than appropriate. And, I'd feel better if you weren't in the hole keeping up with bandwidth.

Set something up.

Thanks guys! Yes this board has become quite a monster and I'm looking forward to moving to the new site. Just wish I could offer all the things the new features now.

As for contributions, you guys are too kind! I don't feel right taken them since I have learned so much from you guys. That feels like payment enough! :D

The generousity of the people who made it possible for me to learn about amplifiers never ceases to amaze.

I'll bug you again about it later. Thanks, though, for doing your best on the new site and hosting what has become a very active and vibrant forum.

Omar, thanks for everything this site has been so far. I was fun to see it grow and I think it is just a start!

As said before, don't be shy and let us help with our contribution.

What he said. Take the contributions!! You deserve them. It's not right that you have to pay the bill for a site all of us benefit from.

oh, p.s... Thanks Omar!

I'd feel good about chipping in some, esp. if it meant holding on to a better service .
