Sorry for the long outage we had lady's and gentlemen.  There was a vulnerability in the forum software that was taken advantage of which caused us to go over our bandwidth for the month.  To stop this from happening in the future I have upgraded our servers to another plan and I have re-upped our forum license and updated the software.  We were running on older server hardware that was in use since 2004 that would not work with this new shiny forum.  I will be altering the website from time to time but we should not have anymore outages unless there are new problems.  
 
If you see any issues with the new forum let me know.

That's good to know that things are opening faster and the upgrades were worth it.

There is an update for the forum software that I need to apply which should solve the issue. I'll try to resolve it this weekend.

I can't take credit for the work.  I outsourced it but gave an example of what it should look like.  I gave the artist/photshop guy the choice of which cars to use based on the angles and which ones were easiest to work with.  Sorry RPM :)

Good thinking. But you spelled bocephus wrong. Hank would not be pleased

It's been many years since we have had a 69stang.com t-shirt made. I could recycle the old artwork and basically do another run of the originals but we would need enough orders to make it work. I also like the idea of having a 69stang.com mug. Let me know if this is something you guys would be interested in.
 
If we can get roughly 75 of both pre-ordered that would that would be enough to place an order. T-shirts would be $25 and Mugs $15. These are rough estimates and would be cheaper with multiple orders.
 
The t-shirt would be white and could look like this

 
Or like our original tshirt

 
The mug would look similar to this on white, however we may do a black mug instead depending on what you guy's think.

Our Logo is getting a little tiresome to look at it.  I would like to update it with member photos of their car's.  If you would like to see your car up top where the current 69stang.com banner is submit a few side shots here.  I don't know if we have any photoshop users still on the forums but I may need your help putting this banner together, so please reply here!

Re-upped the license and all should be close to normal from here on out.  Some as always will still get through.

I'm just making this post so it is easy for me to mark them off one by one.  I'm currently looking into converting the gallery over which is my main task before I go back to work as I should be able to fix all the forum problems from any device.  Thanks for reposting everything here guys!

The sites banner/logo is a little dated in my opinion. If we have anyone with skills who is willing to design a new one let me know. It could also potentially make it on an upcoming 69stang tshirt.

The spammer was signed up on the previous forum, it has been taken care of.

Just logged in on my tablet real quick to see if we were up yet or not, very pleasantly surprised! I'm sure there will be lots of adjustments to make for all of us and for the site as well as we plug along but for me to have all our history in tact and hopefully little to no spam for a while is more than I can ask for now.
 
Thanks so much Ben, the New Year is off to a good start!

There is still alot of work to be done but the new forums are up after 3 solid days of fighting with the conversion and my hosting company's servers.  If you are having trouble logging in or with anything on the website let me know.  You can email me directly at bswor@hotmail.com
