Since chat is on the site its down too. You'll have to use mirc. www.mirc.com download it and install it, then after its all loaded and you run it type in /server irc.webmaster.com and then type /join #3wheelerworld

Eh I dunno Derrick...Monday afternoon is a stretch. Domain stuff typhically takes 12-24 hours to be completed. I've sent an email to our webhost but its Easter sunday so I'm not expecting anything soon. Once this gets corrected this time it will be the last time it ever happens I promise.

Just wanted to make an update. I've purchased a renewal+ 5 years registration from another domain registar. However if we do it directly from them it will be 7-10 DAYS :eek: So I've sent 2 emails to our old registar trying to get them to re-register it for us since it could be back up in 24 hours instead of a week or more. No reply yet...I'm sorry guys, I screwed up big time :cry:

hrmm.. maybe you should put that on your title.. you know, to let everyone know that you screwed up..

"lord of the screwups"

or

"i couldnt pay the bill??"

fitting i suppose..

Paying the bill is not the problem. I received one notice 3 months ago and Howdy and I had kind of decided that it was a thing from our old host trying to get us to re-register with them. Yes, it is my fault for not persuing it at the time and I admit that. No reason to troll over it though.

Speaking of the chat room (as mentioned earlier in this thread). Can some one help me get on? I have never used it because I have been unable to access it. Is it only Wensday nights that you all use it?

Billy Golightly

I'll help you out Louis, wait until tomorrow/tonight though because we are going to be switching over to our own private chat server later on this evening/afternoon hopefully. If we do it now you'll have to just change a whole bunch of stuff again.

That would not be a good thing. I get very confused very easily on this computer stuff. Thanks man.

hah.. the hypocracy amazes me..

You know NOTHING of what all goes on behind the sences to keep the web site rolling. Let me explain in more detail what happened:

We originally had the domain name registered ( and hosting ) through one place. Shortly after it was up the company said they couldn't handle the traffic we had. So we quickly switch to our current hosting company. A little over a year ago, we contacted our current hosting company about switching the domain name registation over to them. They said no problem and we paid them to do so. They forgot to register it for us. Thus last year the site was down for a few days.
We talked to the current web hosting company about it and we thought they were going to register the name every year for us ( automatically ).

About 3 months ago we got a email saying the registation was coming due again. Billy and me talked about this and we BOTH thought this was already taken care of. We BOTH were wrong and it expired. As soon as we found out we put things into motion to fix it.
Those fixes are in the works and we are waiting for them to get them finished.

Now you know what has happened.

Howdy

No worries. We are aware there is more than what meets the eye. We also appreciate your dedication and the fact that you have such a site for all of us to visit and preserve or trikes. :Bounce

Some people really dont care what goes on behind the scenes. They use this site for free, and after a while they think its just another entitlement, like a welfare check.

Quickonstep, If you want your title changed, and you have your business dealings all cleared up, all you have to do is request it, and remind us its there, but since you'd rather throw out some attitude and act like an entitlement queen who's welfare check is late, you can sit there with that title for life for all I care. 3Wheelerworld is run by a lot of people who contribute time and/or money to promote our hobby in a positive light. It is not a RIGHT and we owe you NOTHING as an ENTITLEMENT. If you dont like it, go away and start your own site where you can serve everybody's entitlement whims out of your time and your pocket.

I did try to request it to no avail... so that point of yours is MOOT.. and i DO NOT have a attitude.. well maybe i do.. one that CLEARLY sees that what is ok for one person is just totally wrong for another..

As i have said many times before.. i dont *need* anyone to do anything for me.. i come here to read and thats about it.. and every so often if a question is legitimate ill offer help.. but mostly that isnt good enough for some..

If you remember, i have contributed to this site, in more ways than one.. you can find out how i have.. if you cared that is..

As for the business dealings, these mods kept up with the thread, and im almost positive they all reported back to howdy that they got refunds, after all, if they didnt, i would have been banned.. so it should have been done seamlessly.. BUT.. i guess when you assume, ie. like howdy and billy did, its possible your wrong.

How about we change yours to

"drugs trashed too much of my brain to send out parts"

or

"I'm butthurt because no one likes me, because i cant send them parts"

or

"i have a huge d*** in my ****"
