    i'm assuming ur talkin bout the php connection issue from a couple days ago. the problem with that is if he does get another admin they still can do anything cuz that requires the SQL database to be reset so he'd have to give you his account passwords and stuff as well.

    well the domain needs to move to another host and get a face lift. Along with modified sections for the 05's that now run by cable

    movint to another host wont help. the way MySQL works is if there's too many connections it requres a flush. most cases u can write a script to do that automatically and have that not happen i run another site/forum with a friend and we've worked out a lot of bugs. the facelift is just basically the install of a new skin which shouldnt take long either and as for maintainance, it would be cool to have a second member with access to the admin panel for that.

    Yeah... we do need a facelift.

    Maybe upgrade the phpBB version while at it... I wouldn't mind the site going down for a little while if it only made it better. :)

    there could be many reasons why he's not around. But it doesn't mean he doesn't care.
    He stated in another thread not too long ago saying he was very busy. Meaning he's BUSY............... Being busy doesn't mean you don't care :roll:

    I PM'ed him 3 months ago :( .........still no response. Life outside of here or not, it seems weird to completely ignore your site. Oh well, there are other sites to use anyway.

    the flaw that is creating problems is in the phpBB package. The latest version does not fix it. You have to manually write a script to dump the sessions table as moonshadow mentioned above. I have the finished file just sittin here on my PC. But it requires ADMIN access to upload the new copy and fix the problem permenantly.

    what I noticed is he gets unlimited subdomains, so, he could have this if wanted

    parts.vvt-i.net
    whatever.vvt-i.net

    Well it is his site... until you actually pay for the site, you need a big stfu.
    That's like if i said you ain't doing shit to your 240, why dont you give it to me.
    He owns this site, he can do whatever the hell he wants with it. It's your privilage to be on here, don't act like you have a right to tell him what he can or cannot do with his site.
    If he feels like ignoring the site for whatever reason he has, then don't come here. No one needs an asshat like you to ruin it for everyone else......

    methane has been busy - be patient

    I'm one of methane's friend's outside of this website. As he said in another post he's been very busy - especially with work, trying to pay for the rolla. I called him today, so hopefully, he'll post or update soon. Please be patient as he works to generate funds that allow for this site to exist.

    Damn I just saw the site is still running so had to post. Im sick of people who keep tryin to bash on Paul here and were on VVTI about not caring/being lazy etc etc etc... Paul has a life outside of here and is a very busy person who does alot of things not only for himself, but his community and church as well. Stop trying to criticize the guy, you should be grateful because of all we learnt here and what not. Not once has he put an ad banner or ever asked for a single penny out of anyones pocket. He is one of the most nicest, genuine and sincere people I have ever met. He is the type of person who will always be willing to help you no matter what.

    So for all those who werent pricks, disregard my post.

    For those who still insist on constanly nagging, please do us all a favor and FUCK OFF. haha

    Sorry Methane but had to...


    On a side note, sup Curt, Art, Achint? hahah

    Arrgh.

    Very, truly sorry everyone!!!

    We recently had about half our guys fired from work, and I've been working 55+ hour weeks. In addition to that, me and my friends have taken over the youth group of our church and I've been doing lessons on Tuesdays and Sundays, as well as teaching Sunday School on Sunday mornings. Not to mention the fact that there are a couple of youth in my group they need some extra attention outside of church..

    This will be the first week in MONTHS that I will only work 40 hours.

    Needless to say I haven't had much time for my computer, car, or anything else!

    This site NEEDS new mods, no doubt... and I'd like to get a partner admin going too.. someone who I can meet in person preferably (and find out where you live in case you steal the site from us :) ).

    If someone wants to start by stepping up and organizing some mod voting (I know I did this before... but a lot of things could have changed in the time that elasped since then). That would be a HUGE help.)


    Ermm... ok that said.. I'm gonna go through the site and post a follow-up.
