Bad news

2nd what everybody else said - thanks a ton MJ for keeping this up for this long with all you've had to deal with. I sure would not even own a V21 if not for this site, and if I did it probably would not RUN. lol

So I will plan to keep it going as soon as I get in touch with MJ's guy. Left him a VM today. Will need to get hosted on a new server so should be fairly easy to pick up and move, then we will be all set.

I joined this site while I was searching for a V20. I wound up getting something else but I stuck around because I like the vibe here and I really like the boats. Really stinks that you're having such a hard time these days, but hopefully there's brighter days in the future. Glad to see that it will be able to continue and will gladly pony up some dough.
 
scook, yeah once I get the details on where everything is and whatnot I'll be on it. Thanks for reminding me. Hopefully early next week.
 
Wished I could offer to help, but my health isn't much better than MJ here lately. Heres hoping the lights can stay on, and if they do, I'll try to continue to help out in the future.
 
This place has to stick around. I was on another board that the owners shut down and years of info and 10s of thousands of posts went away instantly. Really sucked!

I'm about one of the least technical folks here, but would be willing to throw a few bucks to keep the lights on. I'm not on facebook or anything else like that. I appreciate MJ for the years of keeping things going through thick and thin and I'm glad an old regular like Blue Runner can take the reins. I miss some of the old members, but we have a lot of good newer posters lately too. Really a good group without all the bs most boards end up having.
 
Sign me up for donations. I can't tell you how much money this site has saved me over the past few years.

I feel like my boat is a mirror image of all the good ideas everyone has suggested all lumped together. Thanks MJ and thanks to everyone!
 
, I would love to see this site go on forever but obviously their is a possibility that it won't. In the event that happens I'd like to say MJ thanks for doing a wonderful job especially with all you've been through. I'm not a Facebook guy so let me say this,it's been a pleasure guys truly and I appreciate all the help.i'm by no means a mechanic but the tithings that I have learned here are immeasurable. I take on things now that I would have never attempted before . It's been for a very long time the only site I go on,just don't have a lot of time to waste these days with other sites and guys that just like to hear the sound of their own voice ( figuratively speaking).This band of guys just truly like helping one and other with no purpose other than to do just that ,help. I've come to know people's lives,I'm sitting here thinking I even know what some of the members like to eat drink and vacation! I've prayed for their children, Their parents, their spouses , so yes I feel I'd be loosing quite a bit here if this sight were to end.. and selfishly I know when I have a problem I'll get an Experienced intelligent answer from Spare Destroyer Ferm Ridge Reel Smoke Pete Skunk Willy skools and so many others that I've left out .. case in point,,, Skunk saved me a pile of time and aggravation just this morning!!! And on the other side I'll see something posted by Charlie and know most likely I'm going to get a good laugh today! My wife often comes into the room and sees me on the laptop
typing and says teasingly "I guess your talking to your friends I say yep and laugh! Hope it goes on forever !!!!!

JJURIGA,
PM'd you about hosting, this is from yodaddy (current host and member):

"I just checked and it's 2.3GB. The sql dump of the site is 535MB. I don't log traffic on this server, so can't tell you exactly how much bandwidth it uses, but it's not much."
 
Yeah Troutkiller - I'm with you. I'm just real grateful there are some boat guys here who are tech guys too -I'm sure not :arrr:

Reminds me of Ferm and Spare telling someone how to bypass the turbo encabulator on their 1985 PXQ5001-e.

SQL = (Structured Query Language) is a domain-specific language used in programming and designed for managing data held in a relational database management system (RDBMS), or for stream processing in a relational data stream management system (RDSMS). In this case the site is using 2.3 Giga Bytes of space, and it's taking 535 megabytes to manage it. He's also reporting that the bandwidth is not a lot. (Which is good since the more bandwidth you use the more costly it is)

And the turbo encabulator on the 1985 PXQ5001-e model was only used one year and was replaced by the far more efficient flux capacitor on the 1986 PXQ5001-f model the following year, completely eliminating the need for a turbo encabulator.

Nailed it!!
 
First I'd Like to say a huge THANK YOU to MJ for starting such a great site and for all youve done to keep it going. I wear all my hats , shirts and sweatshirts with pride and get compliments on them all the time. This site and the great guys have always been a big help no matter what I have going on, boat or personal! And a big thank you to Bluerunner for taking it and keeping it alive. I don't get chance to speak up much but I check in regularly. I love looking at the pictures and stories of repairs and restoration of these fine watercraft. I found this site before I bought my V and have enjoied every minute Ive spent here! If funds are needed to keep it going, I'm all about it! Just let me know how I can help!
