This is only temporary, we will be finishing up and moving it very soon.
Odds are we will be down again for a little during this time.
Million thanks to Patrick, Brett and Matty for all their help.
Best,
SJ

As we move through this process, it is very likely we might loose the site temporarily. If you're not already a member, please temporarily sign up at the original Yahoo! Groups list founded back in 1999 here: http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/W3SI/joinI hope that is the right link. If we loose the site, we can still communicate that way. Keep in mind all who are enrolled get EVERY message, so keep the replies subject matter on track. Again, only temporary solution while we sort it out, in case we loose it for a bit. Thanks for your patience, SJ

The site has moved! Seems much faster to me. A big thanks to Brett! We will need some patchwork yet to get some things back up and running, so patience please. I'd like to also thank Patrick for hosting us as long as he did, and Jesse for his help. SJ

If anyone is interested in making a donation, now is a good time. After some preliminary review, it appears that we'll have much rebuilding to do to simply get everything working again that we had before the site crashed, way back when. In addition, we also need to update some things, which can only be accomplished by rebuilding, and we've had some new surprises planned to improve the site, offer members some special things, and help cut back on spam and errors, for some time. And I know it will shock you to learn that this will all take time, effort and money. We do hope, however, to begin this next phase ASAP. As always, we appreciate your patience as many folks simply volunteer their time and help when they can -- and the same can be said about unlisted donations. Thanks ahead of time to everyone who can donate. We know it's been a hell of a ride for everyone. For those that don't know, you can find an informational and PayPal link here: http://www.w3si.org/why_donate.htmRemember, we don't charge anything or have dues, and frankly we continue to fight hard to keep it that way. Without everyone's help and support -- and we mean everyone -- W3SI would simply not survive. As I mentioned, it's been a tough year all around, but concerning our club site, we're finally in control of our own destiny, and that can only mean better days are ahead. Thanks again, SJ, A-man and that behind the scenes mad scientist

who broke it? why it needs rebuilding? PS: I can offer free hosting, but speed (connection) could be an issue.

We just need to move forward. And now we should be good for the future. Please do not donate if you can't or don't want to -- we're not trying to force you. Believe me, we understand if you can't. Thanks, SJ
