Why is that courageous? I was just mentioning one of the many other Z sites out there.

 

I heard they cut off your hands for that ...

 

nothing wrong with a little friendly competition..

 

There's probably a difference between mentioning a site (which goes on here all the time) and promoting a new or different site.

This site, or any other one for that matter does not have to give you free bandwidth to advertise or promote a non-sponsor, competing site, etc.

 

Doc Bonz=Old School Icon. He is a made man. Untouchable.

 

ive always wondered what does vic get out of being the admin for this site? must be a pretty fat check? shouldn't that be incentive for him to keep this site running strong?

 

less money he spends on the site = more money to put in the pocket ?

 

how much do think this site is worth?

 

considering all the problems , give me your test pipes and we got a deal...

 

So wait, my350z is not even on a dedicated server!?

What a joke...

I've seen MUCH smaller sites that have their own dedicated servers <----- notice the use of a plural

 

Not only that, both the database and all the files are on the same server.

 

recipe for disaster..

 

Holy crap, we're back up again. I couldn't get on at all yesterday.

 

This site gets more pathetic every passing day. Yesterday I couldn't get on AT ALL... WTF.

Looks like I'll be hanging around 350zmotoring more often.

 

one member less..
but who cares right ?

 

I couldn't get on this site yesterday either.. Its funny though because I went to three of the other sites mentioned in this thread and all three of there forums were down.

 

he pockets several k each month.. So there is abolutely no reason that this site is in the ****-poor condition that it has been in for well over a year.

 

he being vic or the owner of the site??

 

If I had the amount of money coming in from this site, I would be GLAD to run it. I know some people who have 99.9% uptime. They have it set up that if BY CHANCE the server went down, everything automatically gets transfered to one of their ***1000's*** of servers and is automatically up again with-in 30 seconds!!

You should see this place.... Its INSANE, its some 7,000 sq ft warehouse full with servers, back up generators, full air conditioning units to cool the whole place. Is nuts!
