Word of advice DO NOT PM board advertisements on IA

[5speed]

How do you think this forum was built? I've spent the last 8+ years turning a small forum in to a large site that can stand on its own. I've spent thousands of dollars of my own money promoting the scene here in atlanta. I did it the hardway and no one handed us anything, so ya i'm not cool w/ people trying to promote their shit taking anything away from what i've spent years building and what my current sponsors support. DIY or GTFO is how i look at it.

Thank you for what you have done. I believe I sent one invite via PM. After that I changed my mind on doing it that way. I haven't got a ban or anything so far, and don't intend on doing anything to do so. I am now ADMIN over at that site.I did not create the site nor own any part of it. I just helped a lot with organizing it and making it USER friendly. I am not looking into being competition and steal IA's registered members. I think everyone would be interested in little updates here and there about what you are doing to fix the site. I will always be a fan of IA, but when we got a new owner things got worse. We all know the server issues. For us who are not in the know, we would like some word on these things. Otherwise we assume the new owner has no interest in maintaining the site and investing in it. I think that is what people are tired of. I know its not easy and it takes money to do everything, but when you are left with a server that has been crashing literally almost every 5 minutes, what do you do.

I have made more changes to the site with the new owners in the past couple of months than Julio/I did in the past two years. i'm sorry as of late my work has been priority - server is being monitored now by our host and they are correcting the interruptions. the problem is you whores have broke the server again/again.
