The Warpath is back

MTK · 02-24-2004, 12:11 AM

Post away guys don't be shy! I'm ticked over what happened, but hey, what's done is done I guess, right? Besides, this new board blows away the old one in terms of control and features, I think we're really going to like it. We'll have it looking and feeling like home in no time.

hey thanks to all of you guys for your hardwork in getting the site back up, much appreciated...I do have a question, for those of us who don't know, how does this site get hosted from a financial perspective? I got to thinking about it these past few days when i was really wanting to read all the posts...

skinsfan_n_vegas · 02-24-2004, 12:18 AM

Yeah Matty, thanks for all the work u put back into the site. It's tough out west when your JONESING for your daily helping of Skins info. and the warpath is down but, hey, we're back up and running so all is well.

MTK · 02-24-2004, 12:21 AM

My pockets, LOL

No seriously, the google ads we host help support the site, and we get a cut from what is sold in the warpath store. Those are the two main sources.

Some of you emailed me wondering if we were having some financial problems and I greatly appreciate the concern, really I do. I wish the problems we had were just financial, that would have been alot easier to fix!!

Between what I spend on the domain name and the server space it amounts to a little less than $100 a year, so it's really not that bad at all.

Ahhh... All is right in the world of Joe... The Warpath is BACK!!!

Thanks for all your hard work, Matty and Bozzy. We really appreciate it!!!

I seriously need this site in my life lol, I swear to god that domain page that it was redirecting you too the past few days must have got like 1,000 hits by me. This new stuff is gonna have to get used too

Gmanc711 · 02-24-2004, 01:06 AM

WERE ALL PRATICE SQUAD AGAIN! Haha , to get to be MVP on this site was on my list of things to do one day.... what a life i live lol

MTK · 02-24-2004, 01:08 AM

I was seriously in the dumps the last few days without the site!! I really couldn't believe how much it effected me, LOL

Gmanc711 · 02-24-2004, 01:29 AM

Matty, I know its gonna take some time to get everything back to normal, I think we all understand that. But I was just wondering what was gonna be in the works for the site, are we getting the Avatars back, are there gonna be any new sections or anything to go with the new feel. Like I saw the playbook, I didnt think I saw that before. YOu know jsut stuff like that, like the plan for everything? Just a question, thanks for all the work

I missed it too! I don't like the yellow in Hailredskins.com, nor the black in extremeskins! This site is more comfortable on the eyes. I feel like I know folks here, and the posts are very intelligent, and pretty well written. My only surprise this a.m., was to have to re-register, but I'm over it now. Matty, Bozzy, and Joe Crisp are very good at policing this site. There may be quicker responses on the other sites, but none quite as informed right here! I hope you can get the little headers (subjects) at the top worded the way we are used to. It's a little harder flipping back and forth figuring where everything is right now.

SkinsRock · 02-24-2004, 08:59 AM

To agree with everyone else, good job getting the site back up guys. Having to go to those other sites was torture!
It's so nice to be "back home"!

jbcjr14 · 02-24-2004, 09:17 AM

I agree. Excellent job and I know the domain site got about 500 hits from me over the last few days!

I hope to get the same feel back that we had on the other forum, including the avatars and stuff like that. This new forum has so many new features available to us I'm still working my way through everything, and I'm sure it's probably going to take a few days at least to get things going again.

As for any plans I have for the site, I honestly don't have any just yet, LOL. My main concern was just getting the board back up, so now that it's back I'll start working on the other things.

Once again I really appreciate everyone's concern and support for the site. It's good to be back!

Daseal · 02-24-2004, 09:54 AM

Like Gmac I also had horrible withdrawl! I would visit the site 10 times a day. I always thought I could quit when I wanted. If it ever goes down again I might have to head to the Betty Ford clinic!

Seriously though, thanks for working so hard to get it back up so fast. You're work and generosity is appreciated by the 'skins fanbase. We have somewhere to vent, learn and ramble. I for one, don't know how I lived without it!

Fortunately, it's a nice quiet time of the season to make a change. I hardly noticed the forum was gone...
