Quote, originally posted by BlueCrush Â»And now that it's the end of the month, any word on site updates/changes??? I was hoping on updates for tomorrow but my publishing tool to make content "live" on the site hasn't worked since the data center move. I have it being looked into now, so o...

Sunday, April 1st, 2007 marks GenVibe.Com's 5th Anniversary! [past threads: 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th]At over 5200 Forum members (that's 1200+ more just from last year), GenVibe is still going strong!If it wasn't for the great veteran and new members as well as moderators, GVC would not be what it is to...

Quote, originally posted by BlueCrush Â»I think it is a great idea, Nick. That way new members are automatically protected and like you stated they can make it visible if they choose to. This has been done.

Quote, originally posted by MisterBill Â»Me too. Someone obviously hacked the site. Wonderful.No one "hacked" the site. The member list is publicly accessible by anyone and if you did not hide your e-mail address initially, it is displayed for all to see. This is by far not abnormal.There ...

FYI, in case anyone missed this thread for a semi-final update:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=27586

Quote, originally posted by AKLGT »please keep us updated! As always. I post as I find out the info.Obviously expect some downtime while the DB is moved, barring any issues of course.

Quote, originally posted by AKLGT »from Nick's post on MO, seems like this is the interim up and running before they can get everything migrated to the new server. hope it goes smoothly.Yes, you're correct. We're up on the old server right now and GVC is scheduled to be moved tonight or tomorrow. Sc...

Quote, originally posted by BlueCrush Â»No, worries. I was expecting something like, "we checked into it and are not able to take care of it at this time" instead of a lengthened version of "deal with it". lol. Just took me off guard that's all. haha.I forgot to directly mention ...

Quote, originally posted by joatmon Â»Make sure that the front page has a very obvious link to the the forums. I didn't participate in many internet forums until I got the Vibe and found this site. Luckily, the google search that led me here was to a forum thread. There are a lof of sites out there ...

Quote, originally posted by BlueCrush Â»I was hoping to see the DST change when it came back but it's still an hour off. Oh, well it will be correct in a few weeks. lol.You can always click a few times in your Profile and manually adjust to another time zone if it's that bad. For the amount of time ...

Quote, originally posted by joatmon »one trick for such times is to run a google search, throw a site:genvibe.com at the end of the search criteria, and then load the cached version of the page from GoogleI used this trick during one of our other downtimes... worked like a charm!

Once the next set of updates are launched before month-end (no need to rub it in, we know), we'll query the GVC member base for additional feedback and possible contributions. I'm the main guy for overall site updates, so feel free to e-mail or IM me with any questions.As for the recent downtime, ma...

This is about a month away.. I'm still IN! I'll probably look for a hotel before the end of the month.

Wow, yeah... a whole year without home page updates. My bad there... I give permission to anyone that would like to rub that one in during any of our Vibe meets this year. Oddly enough, I do plan to have some new content on the site before the end of the month, just in time for our 5th Birthday.Also...

Quote, originally posted by special_ops9 Â»Hi. I have a 2004 base Vibe and just purchased a set of drilled and slotted rotors with some EBC RedStuff pads. I was trying to remove the rotors and after banging on them repeatedly and taking the torch to them and banging some more I still couldn't remove...

I haven't seen this mentioned, but check out your front brake rotors as well. I replaced mine due to warping and noticed 90% of my vibration (over 60mph) was eliminated just due to a simple rotor replacement. They could just be enough out of spec that it would seem as if the tire/wheel is out of bal...

Some servers were being moved around to a new data center.http://forums.audiworld.com/fe...phtml

Done deal!http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/07....v=75

Definitely interesting... many pro's and con's... one pro I see is the consolidation of the satellite bandwidth to provide superior sound quality as well as other cool data/video services (expanding what is already available).It will be interesting to see how this plays out, if at all. All I know is...

Even if true (I've heard this dozens of times already over the past year), it would take over a year to even finalize, plus would need government approval.

Quote, originally posted by nismo Â»Is this going to be in affect this year.We've just started to get some plans together for the 5th GVC Michigan Rally. Hopefully we'll have some more details within the next few weeks (date, location, etc.)

I think I got it all covered in this past thread:http://forums.genvibe.com/zero...06195I ended up flushing with Dexcool - almost due for another flush in the next month or two myself. No adverse effects.

Welcome back! Just creating a post to make an active topic since the downtime rolled over the 24-hour Active Topics list.Please report any issues you may find with the Forum to this thread.Before anyone asks, the downtime was related to previous other incidents where the database server needed reboo...

I just got one of these today too. As your situation, I'm 50+ miles from the dealer listed (couldn't find any Vibes around here back in early 2002 ) - plus I do my own oil changes.I asked my local dealer about these types of coupons and I never got a favorable answer about using them here.

I believe it was proven that even though they list the Vibe as compatible, it won't work for us.Check out this link:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=24198

Congrats and nice work!

I noticed HARMLESSV8 was our "official" 5000th member a few days ago, congrats!! We've been cleaning out a few duplicate/spam accounts lately so that has altered the count slightly, but we're still over 5000. Here are some stats I can pull from the Forum:Quote, originally posted by System ...

I'm definitely up for the Fri/Sat/Sun option. I believe we did this during the most recent venture this year. The auto show was definitely more manageable on a Friday than over the weekend.

Quote, originally posted by ragingfish Â»I believe Nick is referring to the folks over at ZeroForum. My understanding is while they don't own the servers GVC runs on, they have full access and they can go into the servers and do upgrades, repairs, etc.Actually it is the opposite. Normally you buy se...

I rarely use the Spell Check feature here but it was never that slow before. I'll report it to the sysadmin.

Resurrecting an old thread.... just hit today. 70,000 since July 2002.

Thanks all! Very appreciated. Now there is no excuse to get the VOTM stuff on my end totally up-to-date!

Quote, originally posted by ragingfish Â»My initial thinking is that I'd like to do it sometime in March, and tie it in with the NY Auto Show. I'd love to do that again and tie it in with the NYAS. Put me down... if not, I'm flexible.

Still waiting for some pics... that link you posted earlier never worked, at least for me.

Since I'm in your neck of the woods, I'll keep an eye out for you.

Nice find.As a note, we personally had nothing to do with this upgrade. This was provided through the free chat software we happen to use for GVC Chat.

I've been to SEMA for the past few years but decided not to this year. One of the reasons was the almost absent presence of Vibe's at last year's show. Mike K. from the site is there this year, but has told me that he has yet to see a Vibe, no surprise as there was none at the GM booth again.The oth...

Cool videos and great pics from everyone! It looks like you had a great day too.

This is a bug that has never been fixed throughout our previous upgrades, regardless of what I set the system to allow. I don't see any upgrades anytime in the near future anyway, so we'll just have to live with the 1 MB limit.
