*** SUSPENSION OF SERVICE BY MY SERVICE PROVIDER ***
 

Following last nights suspension of service by my service provider... I have had to remove all the full programme videos for now...

That sucks.....I was just gonna ask what happened. Good think I was browsing here :) Damn, being sick has some good in it. I can sit home and browse around here. :)

OMG! I hope it's just a temporary situation...

The Community is still there :) and that's more important :)

That's true! The vids are just a bonus! I think you should keep the site like this for a few months so that all the trolls will leave. Just say that JabbasWorld doesn't post vids....ever .:) Then you'll see who's loyal and who's not.

Thats bad. :(
But it is good that forums are back to normal.


Group thing as I can see also changed.
No more B.
Interesting to know are there more changes to the things we can do or we can't ?

The GROUP A and B labels have gone too right?

Yeah I cant see the Group A or B section either... I am sure things will come back to normal. Anyway, as the forums are right now, there is plenty of things to read and do while things get back to normal.

Ok, as of now the host has moved our site to the semi-dedicated plan. What this does is basicly put our site on a server with less sites allocated to it. Maybe only 10% of the number of sites that the other server had. I will also take a few percautions by making some tweaks to lower general server load later tonight.

Hopefully we wont have this problem again for quite some time.

Just an FYI, until the dns updates the multimedia gallery will not work properly.

can i state my opinion without being persecuted, plz PLZ.

i felt that the rule almost meant that reviews were more important, after all i was kicked out and told, oh well, rules are rules. that made me mad, after my contributions and posts, pics, not comparable to others but good enough contribution, was seen as worthless over 5 reviews. thats why i was mad, so now i feel like i just HAVE to stick to the rules and post reviews as to me that has been stated as more important than the community. another thing that made me mad was jabbas "tough luck attitude", im greatful for his site but to tell me in a post, "YAWN", go ahead look it up he posted that, i felt insulted, like all my posts were useless and 5 reviews a week meant more.

i will not state my opinion very much from now on, i will TOTALLY obey the rules but as far as being in the community it has taken a sour turn for me, im gonna just concentrate on good reviews and not state my mind.

This is my post from racing flix that I posted earlier today when JW had been closed down...you wont have to worry about any rules relating to reviewing videos in future as I wont be posting anymore as far as your concerned.



I hope all the people that critised the recent "rules" of JW are happy now that it is closed down...

Apparently I am a "dick" for making the rules that helped keep it running for so long....its a shame I have to follow rules as well set by my service provider...perhaps if I tell them they are "dicks" or have no right to set any "rules" they will put it back up for us....

Apparently from last nights posts from 2-3 people, I nor any admins or mods have the right to set any "rules", lock threads, delete posts or run our own site in a way that has bought enjoyment to many people over the last five months that has now ended.

Once again it is going to require even more cash to get back up and running as I will now have to move to a single dedicated server. I will fund this entirely myself still refusing to allow any advertising or other methods of payment that would ruin the great atmosphere that we "did" once have.

Before anybody complains in future that something isn't "fair" or I "must" change something that doesn't quite suit them...I would ask them to consider this for a moment.

Jabba.

Looks like we had a few accidentaly extra posts so i cleaned up the thread by deleting the duplicates. note ONLY the duplicates where removed.

That happens when ppl complain about following rules that even benefit themselves with videos , this was free and when ppl dont appreciate the others effort then we get this ...

Hope this makes you all think about what happenned , you criticized a guy who was just giving and asking just for a little of reviews .

Anyways thank you for this 5 months that we got JW running , was Gr8 !!!

Think the duplicates are caused by a submission error message. Can't remember what it says exactly, it has to do with error sending mail, I think.

Okay, got the error message again:

Ran into problems sending Mail. Response: 553 please check that the recipient domain is configured properly and that you have either checked your mail via POP3 recently or are using authenticated SMTP (#5.7.1)

DEBUG MODE
Line : 164
File : /home/jabbasw/public_html/includes/smtp.php

thats exactly what i got, and fishfreek i never accused you of removing posts. just for the record.

Its that damn mail server bug back again...if it shows up...it means you have successfully posted your message... its just that the mail notifer didnt go through.

I agree. They volunteer their time and money, and don't have to do such things. Having been there, I definitly am greatful as everyone should be. Considering I come here from a board that has far stricter rules then here, I find the complaints a little exagerated.

On a side note, if you need any help in terms of a donation or tech support slip me an pm. I may be a poor college student, but if need be I am more then willing to help out.

Justin I know you did not make those accusations. I just wanted to be clear. ALthough after I posted that I did notice a post was missing. Maybe i accidently deleted one.

who cares, lets move on. that was all just a REALLY bad dream.

MAN! a lot of things have happened while I was away for the weekend! I've been trying to get to JW all day long with no luck, when I saw the suspended notice I thought JW was over ....and now that I got in again I see lots of things have changed...no groups, no vids, shitload of arguing...I also notice that the 5th Gear topic is missing...shit man....what the hell happened??

...this site was great just as it was....what's all the arguing about...I realize some people don't have time to review all the vids, I am one of them...for me 150MB takes about 8 hours to download, so I can't d/l every single video that is posted, and of course I have class and work to deal with daily...that's why I d/l just what seems interesting besides top gear and 5th gear....and yes sometimes I don't like the rules either...while reading all the recent post about the rules, I thought Jabba and the admins should be a little more flexible with rule suggestions or modifications, but, it is Jabba's site and he's the one that sets the rules, and he decides how the site shoud be run...but I also think that the site is fair enough as it is...but well, I just appreciate that I get too see the best automotive shows in the world, which I wouldn't be able to see if not for JW, so even if sometimes i'm not happy with the rules, i'm still truly greatful for the oportunity this site offers me.......so come on guys let's cut this crap and leave all this bullshit behind us...

...I really don't know if this post should be here, I'm posting it somewhere else too, but if you feel it's not in the right place, please feel free to move it to where it belongs.

I`m happy that the bad dream`s over..!

Yeah, back in businness and the forums and gallery are also superfast for me since the moving :)

Good see you're back up and running so soon Jabba :)

I think we all agree its now time to move on and just see what happens in the future.

Just a note: I hope the people RESPONSIBLE for the recent down time (you know who you are) fuck off, if they have already fucked off, good. Their actions were quite simply the most childish I have ever seen on the internet. It reminded me of a little kid who could not get its way, so spoilt it for everyone just to make its self feel important. Anyway, that is all I will say on the issue. :twisted:

i think jabba and TT made it clear that their server was at fault, maybe you dont believe that or maybe you really think someone deliberately did it but where is ur proof?? otherwise its all speculation and accusations.

I can confirm that Group "B" was closed mainly as a result of what jon_s has said in his post. I can also confirm that I almost didn't have the server upgraded as a direct result of what jon_s has said in his post and JW would have indeed remained closed.

I don't think you need any more proof than that.

As I said, I am going to leave the issue, the accusation was not at you justin, as I believe there were more involved than just you.

You can mention names. I'm not hiding.......

No, you are not the person I was thinkig of.

i dont know a thing about hacking but ppl will believe what they want to beleive, i posted an apology and im saying now for the record that i had nothing to do with the site being down if indeed it was due to kacking. of course ppl will say otherwise.

jon_s, i was not involved in anyway with the site being down.

i know who did it though, the butler. :wink:

The site being down was not a result of hacking or any other decetful act. The events of this weekend while coencided with the suspension notice their was no real direct relation between the two.

Except that it didn't almost go back up again as a result of the events of this weekend...

btw why do I get the feeling that this subject is being slowly revived again ?

I don't like the sound of that!

Jon and Justin, please let this shit die! Extinguish the flames before Jabba pisses on them to make sure they're out.

we did, we pm'ed each other, i am done with this so i think we should lock this thread. me and jon_s were just stating opinions, it wasnt heated badmihai, calm down u dumb pussy. :mrgreen:

Yeah, sorry, probably should have said nothing, but it was just annoying me. All is well between us anyway.

^Glad to see u have realised the errors of ur ways and kissed and made up :mrgreen:

Always nice to have a happy ending :)

Where the fuck did you come from ??? J/K :wink:

lets all stop arguing and go back to the way it was, when it was running great

PEACE YO

i really think that this should be locked to prevent redundant posting.

yeah - redundant...

Locked for sanity sake
