UP down UP down ... with no explanation.

We are the laughing stock of other Z sites.

What the hell is going on ???? .. This site is down more than it is up...

And why is it down for a full day? Doesn't anybody associated with the management of this site check it more often then once every day or so??? Considering how flaky it's been lately, you would think they'd be checking it hourly.

Yep, it's pretty lame. I've been frequenting www.350zMotoring.com a lot more lately.

Shouldn't be long before this thread gets moved to the dark corners of the feedback section so it won't have to be addressed.

Of course, keep in mind that 350zMotoring was down for several days - apparently they forgot to pay the bills.

Feedback section is not such a dark corner. There are a dozen threads just like this one over the last 6 months. The encouraging fact is that Mike W. has actually responded to some of the questions/complaints. It will be interesting to see if he comes through on his statements (I hate to call them promises).

DavesZ Vic is no where near ready to fix this. Partly because he has no clue on what the problem is.

I disagree, I believe he knows exactly what the problem is. Unfortunately, the absent owner won't pony up the bucks to buy a solution.

Its a shame that such a great site with so much traffic is being maintained in such an amature fashion.

All these vendors whose names we see on the front page of the forums, etc. have fees that they pay to the site owner(s) pay to be seen. I don't see how its an issue of money.

The only way this will ever change (the site put on a dedicated server) is #1: if we go somewhere else (probably not gonna happen) or #2: if we all e-mailed/PMed the vendors and sponsors who PAY for this site and complain to them and explain that it is hurting their business when the site is down all the time.

But seeing that #1 won't happen, then the sponsors probably won't believe #2.

Yeah this site is getting pretty irritating. Too bad the only way the forum owner says anything is if the word Lamborghini or Ferrari is said

I have been driving it almost everyday for almost 2,000 miles but there is not even one problem. My Murcielago broke down twice in first 7 days and modena spider broke down once. Once you drive Gallardo, you can not go back modena or Porsche turbo.... Only one thing you miss with Modena is, racing exhaust sound and thrilling experience with its unstable frame rigidity hehe. Anyway, I am pretty satisfied with it so far!!
Interesting how our benevolent owner can't afford a $3000 server upgrade .
