all i have to say is what the f@#k really??? so okay i can see u guys wanted to change the servers up or whatever so there was two or three days right there , so then can somebody tell me what the hell was going on for the last 4 days??? no appolagy no explanation. i dont see what was wrong with the old son but anyways next issue, sharpe\_corners whether some members hate him or not i really couldnt care, the only reason you guys are pissed is because hes making money by taking the initiative to find parts go pick them up and still sell them for reasonable prices. i have never been dissapointed with anything hes sold me and whether hes making money or not you still are not going to find a better deal on quality parts. basicly the way i look at it u pay a small fee for him to have all the right parts organized at the same place rather than sifting through a ton of forums looking for specific things and wasting time. now my main issue with u banning sharpe corners is because hes working on my car and helping me make my set up exactly the way i want it and whatever im in the states on vacation right now and i have no other way of contacting him so now i gotta wait till i get home to call and see whats goin on with my car… not so great but anyways i just think its funny how when u guys switched servers none of his posts or anything even exist anymore or did they “mysteriously” dissapear when the server crashed. i dont know whats going on but i dont like it.

p.s. ill be damn surprised if this thread stays on for more than an hour

dude… all of the information about the site difficulties is in various places / threads on the forum already.

the issues with Dylan were brought about by the users…

you are correct that this thread will not last, but it’s because it’s stupid, not because we’re afraid that people will see it. Moving it would be for your benefit, no one elses.

As for Dylan’s issues, take those up with the dozens of users who complained about him, not us.

the admin team on SON did not start that thread. all concerns were raised by users and members.

offline i get more of the same about it.

afaik his account has a classifieds restriction on it and that was it. If he is having issues getting on now then someone needs to tell me about it because it has nothing to do with that previous issue.

there are still a number of accounts whose user ID was changed to 0 for some reason. We need to manually extract them from the old DB and import them over now since the script fucked things up so badly over the weekend.

We can only do that if people get in touch with us about it. Help desk tickets are the way we are managing it but if you cant sign in then please email to [mgleeson@gmail.com](mailto:mgleeson@gmail.com) or to me at bing@bings.ca and we’ll get on it.

no worries… you’re like the 150th person this week to be in a dick mood on here.

i have no issues with Dillon (dylan wtf spelling?) personally, but it’s not something that can be taken too lightly with so much concern over it from everyone else.
