MotorWorld.net is back up and running!

[Shaggy]

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Bryan and I bought the forum/site/database from Jabba. I know the site has been shut down for over a year and also wasn't very active for a while before it was shut down, but I hope to change all that. I want to get this forum active again. I know it may never be as active as it was in its hay day, but will give it a try. As you can see, I already created a new skin/look for the forum and plan to do alot more.

If you have any ideas/thoughts to make this forum better, please let me know here.

Also, if you are having problems logging in or forgot your username or password, please feel free to reply back to the email that was recently sent out and we will get you taken care of.

Thanks again.

Bryan

Wow, haven't been here since 2007 when a handful of users broke off due to some falling out (can't recall details anymore).

Had no idea whether this site was still running. Good luck to you. If I could make one suggestion, I know running the site cost money and makes sense to try and make even, but being greeted by pretty big banner ads straight away isn't too appealing. It might drive people away immediately, maybe try and get some activity back first.

[Shaggy]

Dually noted. You going to stick around?

[ScoobySnack]

Also haven't been on in a while. Hope everything works this time around. Best of luck on this. :smile:

[Shaggy]

Thanks for coming back. You planning on sticking around? What are you driving nowadays?

[gman2207]

I don't ever remember signing up, last login was 2007 :S

[Shaggy]

Looks like you did years ago. Welcome back!

[gman2207]

Cheers! Renaultsport Megane is my latest daily drive. Love it :)

[Shaggy]

Got pics of it? Post it up here or in an intro thread about you in the Intro Section:

http://www.motorworld.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=91

Thanks again for showing up to the forums again and I hope to see you alot here!

[gman2207]

How about a projects section? People post threads and keep them updated as changes are made? I am on a few Renault related forums and have a threads on those.

[Shaggy]

Ok, I will set one up if you are willing to post your build thread in it right away. Post your build thread in the General chat and when you are done, I will add it to the new project section.

[gman2207]

Done, have more to add to that too when you approve

[Shaggy]

Nice. I moved it to the "Under Construction" section! Look forward on seeing the progress.

[gman2207]

It all just vanished mate?

EDIT: Well the first post has.

[Shaggy]

Its good. I need to change up some moderation settings.

[gman2207]

:) Hopefully the site will pick up again, looks like it was a busy one at some point.

[Shaggy]

Yea, just hope to get a few of the regulars back. I know it had its rough batch in the past and I hope it can be fixed with a new owner and a new way of running the forum.

[Stikz]

Can't believe the site's back, hope it gets back to what it was!

[Shaggy]

Me too. Just needs your help on becoming active again. Thanks for showing back up to MW!

[andreihornoiu]

Nice to see the site back in action, it's been a while since I visited the site.
I remember finding the most interesting car stuff on here, with latesc races, documentaries and such. Will the tracker be coming back up?

[Shaggy]

It was lost. Fill me in what the tracker was and I can try to get something similar installed.

[Shaggy]

Ha ha, far from it!

I need would like to see pics of your Z06 if you can post them up in the American Cars section, if they aren't up in there somewhere already.

[Shaggy]

Really? I think the backup the Jabba had was one from over a year or so ago or he could have lost/deleted the posts? Who knows. :)

Just start post whore it again and it will all be good. :waytogo:

[dtb1]

welcome back MW, this is where the internet forum thing started for me back in 2008, made some friends here though not sure who is still around.

[Shaggy]

People are trickling in so I hope to see alot more in the next couple days. Welcome back to MW! Hope to see you active on the forums!

[RC45]

[Shaggy]

No worries mate - thousands of the posts where from the old political forum and should stay deleted.

Sounds good to me. :hat:

[Aryan]

Just want to wish you good luck and success in restarting the forum Shaggy. My last visit was 4 years ago and a lot has changed, but everything looks good so far here.

[everso.]

good luck with the site, shaggy!! hope you bring it back to past glory!

[Wilson]

good luck shaggy

[Shaggy]

good luck with the site, shaggy!! hope you bring it back to past glory!

good luck shaggy

Thanks fellas! Hope we can get MW active again. Will be tough, but worth the shot! :head3:

[Wilson]

well if we like all types of cars and trucks should be fun

[DamnItMan]

^Agreed Wilson. There is always fun to be had when we talk automotive.

[gman2207]

Any plans to update to a newer vBulletin version? There are a fair few worthy additions in later versions such as Youtube, Vimeo and Soundcloud integration to name a few things.

[Shaggy]

This has the youtube interrogation installed already. I am not updating to vb 5 anytime soon. Way to many bugs in it.

[Ho Fi Mz-3]

Just noticed your avy Shaggy, are you from AZ?

[Shaggy]

Yep. Live just south of you. ;)

[gman2207]

Such as shame this place is dying. No plans to advertise/promote the place Shaggy?

[Shaggy]

I have been trying. I need to ramp it up I guess. I want to see this place active again. Not giving up on it anytime soon. I hope you don't either.

[gman2207]

Not at all, or I wouldn't be here now ;)
