It also happens on the really cheap hosting....they overload their system with traffic since they don't want to upgrade..... which is your first reason....too busy. It isn't necessarily CHR, its the host for the domain.

Don't know about anyone else, but I've been e-mailing Brent occasionally over the past week or two, letting him know of any specific error messages that might pop up listing a line of code that's causing problems. He responded yesterday, saying that he'd made several changes that he expected to take care of issues, but then CHR was down again this morning.... I'm thinking that there's someone out there hacking the system trying to bring it down, but that may just be paranoia.....
I've checked Club Cobra and they seem to be having the same problem. It wouldn't surprise me if someone is hacking the server(s).
It's not paranoia if they're REALLY trying to get you. :)Quote:

i spend a lot of time deleting members from ukrane and russia on my site. spambots troll the net for forums and such . have to run full scans every couple of days .
Spam-O-Matic plug in works fantastic if you are using VBulletin. Takes a while to propagate, but once it does, it cuts down the spam you personally have to deal with by 90%.Quote:

Wow, it sort of shocked me when I spotted Richard’s post – I certainly didn’t expect to see anyone predicting the demise of CHR. I’ll admit to being guilty of having become a “drive-by” member on this forum. Over the past several years, 6 to 8 months have passed between me checking in to see what’s being discussed. 10 years ago, I would have been on CHR at least every other day. I’m not sure what happened with me, but it certainly wasn’t that I stopped messing with cars (I’ve actually been more active in my shop over recent years).
I really don’t know what spurred me to post today, except that maybe I’ve attended a lot of funerals over the past couple of years ... and in some cases I was lucky to have made contact with old friends before they were gone, and I regret that I didn’t get the chance with others.
But hey, I don’t intend to sound morbid – I’m sure there’s plenty of life left in CHR!!! I guess I just want to acknowledge that there are, and have been, a lot of friendly and helpful folks on this forum and I consider myself fortunate to know several of you guys both online and in person.
My best to all of you.
Glad to see you came back and decided to post! We ain't done yet!! Maybe things aren't as busy as some years back but, don't signal our demise just yet!!:LOL::LOL:
Not dead yet!
We sometimes take a side road that leads us to a new destination, that works in the long run, but bogs us down during the way there. I am at the crossroads right now. Divorcing(not my choice) after 19 years of marraige, but the future already is starting to lighten up, things I have sacraficed can now take a front seat, life will simplify and start to move foward again. CHR is a lot like this. I will get the 48 F1 done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hang in there Sto, mine was after 42 years with my childhood sweetheart BUT LIFE DOES GO ON and happiness is in the LIVING.
Since no one else has mentioned it I would like to say that the Site is loading up fine now, at least for me it is.
Em
I had written a couple of scathing posts when the site was either down, running slow and self deleting posts.
I'm not sure what the problem was, but I now agree with Em, the site right now is running as good or better than it has in quite some time.
Mick
if my site starts to run like this i will change servers . slow loading or no service at all for close to 12 days is bs .
It's not always that easy, try to get out of a cell phone contract and you'll understand.Quote:

Heavens no I haven't tried snails, and a slimy oyster isn't going to be passing my lips, either!! Next you'll be touting the benefits of Paua, which is about the closest thing to a piece of shoe leather that anyone could call food!! :LOL::LOL: Yeah jb, I know you say that Paua is good, but seriously?Quote:

I've been doing muscle cars, trucks and 4x4's for 30+ years. When the A became mine, I thought I'd build a way that I could enjoy.
I found this site when surfing and looking for a more friendly forum to "crafters". Back in the 50's and 60's they built with what was available. I feel I am doing the same thing, just with a few nods toward safety and available parts.
I'm glad I found this place and hope I can do my part to keep it (and "crafting") alive.
Eric
P.S. I've tried snails. With enough garlic and butter.........
Welcome aboard, Eric.
If you want to discuss your '29 you should open a thread of your own and show us a few photos.
I'm curious who decided your build isn't traditional enough. I think that's up to you and no one else. You'll find that no one here is going to be concerned about you making safety and performance improvements. Some folks have fairly strong opinions about what "looks right" and what doesn't, but those are just opinions on personal taste.
Looking forward to your new thread.
Welcome Eric, and looking forward to seeing more of your build in a thread of your own. You should be fine here, except for the snails.....
Snails, LMAO! At least you don't have to get it before it gets you. Haha
Eric, welcome to CHR! I had a sport coupe body,(very rough and incomplete), that I sold last year. I really wanted to build it, but it needed to go to some one with less projects. Haha I bet I know what place you were on that didn't find your build traditional enough. :LOL:
Haha!Quote:

Properly beaten paua has a texture similar to snail, and both are good eating.
Smoked eel is good food too...although it does tend to cause flatulence...but that's a minor detail.
Nothing to be sorry about Eric..................especially since you understand basic culinary..........put enough garlic on anything and; yummy (that goes for pork fat too!) Being a good "celebrate diversity" kind of guy :rolleyes: I've tried a lot of unconventional to the US palette kind of foods. My Italian heritage brought lots of seafood items to the table......eels included (fried with garlic......yummy). I remember when stationed in Thailand back when, there were a lot of guys who just couldn't imagine eating local delicacies. I ate some stuff there that was delicious, but to this day I still don't know what it was. Didn't kill them, didn't kill me...............just enjoy.Quote:

Roger, you just reminded me of grandad..........he another lifelong Kansan. His recipe for fish:
Choose your favorite fish.
Season to taste.
Place carefully on a thin pine plank with corn oil to lessen sticking.
Place on the grill over moderate pile of charcoal.
Cover to hold in moisture.
Remove planked fish from fire once flesh turns opaque.
Scrape the fish off the plank into the garbage can and eat the plank.
hamb was my guess. wasted band width there. lot of really great builders and folks there but they have been outnumbered by rockabilly wannab's .
i see nothing wrong with your build. the only thing that counts is the smile in the windshield .
Thanks for the welcomes.
I'll get a thread started soon. "Til then, as a teaser. All Ford except vega steering box, S10 T5 tail shaft and Vette master. No fenders or hood, keeping the rumble seat and hoping for 20 gallons of fuel (my goal).
Welcome and at 86 years old you are doing well!Quote:
