What kind of co-locating is that? My home webserver has better uptime then the server JCO's on...

The server doesn't go down that much guys. C'mon.
Membership cards took less than a month to issue to those who paid before April 1st. Not that you need the card anyway, our sponsors know us. Things are improving every year...if you got your card late this year...blame your Chapter Rep, not the entire JCO.
I drove 14 hours from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon to attend the RSM show and have a JCO executives' meeting in Collingwood. I took the gas money out of my own pocket so that I can help organize the Bash all for you guys.
I can't believe some of you are that anal about giving a measely 10$ a year for full board acces, access to sponsors and reduced pricing on event entry fees.
Anywho..enough ranting...I'm crusty this morning. Don't worry guys, the board should be back up some time today.

I don't quite understand this. Membership is dirt cheap. My complaints about the website going down are with the hosting company, not the JCO (This is quite pathetic for a commercial hosting company, 36 hours downtime is unexcuasble.).
Regarding 8 months to get your membership... I was 9 lol but I was just an extreme case. Most other people paid late march and got it late april.

The long downtime is due to the fact that the server needs to be manually rebooted. But our board admin does not have access to the server on the weekend...it is in a locked room somewhere.
It will be back in operation as soon as he can physically get to the server.
It's rumoured that there are plans to move the server to a more conveniant location.
Bugs in the system happen and nothing's perfect...being without the message board is not life or death.
Although on behalf of the admin and exec staff, I'd like to send out an apology to the members for the inconvenience. It will be rectified very soon.
Thanks.

Well said Spidey...
You'd think people couldnt eat or sleep without the forum.
As for the membership fee's, If you cant afford to pay the $10, go whine to welfare, not us.

welfare eh.. haha...
why doesnt the JCO go with a more reliable host? Noit being able to access a server on the weekend, would really suck if you were hacked Friday night, just a thought, its what our site has done, and its been working really good.
im not whining about 10 dollars, @!#$ i wpie my ass with 10 dollar bills,thats besides the point, if you wanna get into how muhc money i have i can gve you a run down or tell you what ive spent out of my own pocket this year alone on the car, well i had 2 cars and a truck but one just sold, regardless its not a money issue. i go to the jco because i enjoy the people there and ive usually got an answer for someone if they run into a problem and i like helpig out. i dont see the point in paying when anyhting they can get me i can gte cheaper through my own contacts, i dont attend shows because my car isnt a show car and quite frankly im a little annoyed in the direction some cars have taken so id prefer to not even go and look at them, thats my hcoice and its a different topic in itself.
of all the sites i visit the jcp goes down the most, im sure everyone of you can admit that no other forum has had more issues than the jco has.
it sucks you drove as far sa you did for the meeting, i was part of the exec when the club was still in its infancy stages and i used to commute to the meets every week, go to evrey exec meeting, all the fun stuff. put aside work even so i could make the meetings and then make up the hours at work. trust me i was really dedicated, hell i joined the club when there were only 6 or 7 people in it, lol.
anyways, what im saying is this, if yor putting money towards something you expect to get something in return, we all know some of the time memberhip cards wont go out within a month, i see enough posts about and its really sad that people put them off as much as they do, i understand people work, i do and i wrked full time and went to school full time so i know how hard it is to find time, but if you cant do the job you wanted to do you should really resign.
anyways, this isnt a rant but more my view on things and my opinion. im in no way trying to cut anyone up jt explaining how i see things. personally i believe the server should be moved to somethign home based at the presidents house even so these little things could be avoided. if i were a paying member trying to access the site on a weekend of a car show such as this id be really annoyed
