Default What happened

Couldn't get ot the site today between 9 and 2 pm CET? What happened - or was it just something on my end? And forum seems to be quite slow now ...

Its 8:32am here and I just got online a bit ago so im unsure but as of yesterday evening we (Jabba and I) where not sure why we was seeing the suspended notice page. I hope to chat with jabba soon to see if he has gotten in touch with the hosting company to see why we where getting this message and what we can do to make sure we dont get it again.

The site has been slow for alot of us over the last 24hours.

that is great news. Thought someone contactd his host to cause trouble for him. The word SUSPENDED is not a good one to use. I thought no more jabbasworld!!!

just woke up and first thing I did was check to see if this was online lol

gotta go brush my teeth

What did they say to you exactly, Jabba?

This morning I saw the suspended message and I was worried too. Great relief that JW is still here. It made me realise just how much I like being here.

I was DEFINITELY worried when I saw that suspension notice pop up from the website host. Sounded a LOT worse than a technical problem. Glad it wasn't as bad as I was guessing it was.

Anything I can do to help out with things, Jabba? I know you've probably been getting offers from right and left, but I feel I must, being a member of the community that we have here.

MAN! a lot of things have happened while I was away for the weekend! :shock: 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.
