What Happened?

[Shelby_r_b]

Well, I'm thrilled to start getting my fix of all things Shelby. But, I have to ask...what happened to the old forum? And, is there anyway to retrieve the information houses on the old forum?

If there was... it would be here.

Needed a clean reboot, unfortunately.

For a site that liked to consider itself the reference authority on all things Shelby, it is both shocking and sad that there was no back-up to either the cloud or an external hard drive.

Especially since it was obvious the site was struggling with issues for quite some time.

Nice to have the Forum back.  I am sure it has been a long frusting process with many hours involved.  Thanks for the effort.

Hi Ron,

I'm assuming we lost the forum gallery/member gallery too?

Cheers,

Result of the rework on the SAAC site is a disaster. New site is worthless. Guess whoever did the work has never heard of the maxim, "if it aint broke, don't fix it". Just what I frequently ran into in my previous career in the business arena. Hope this does not destroy people's involvement in Shelby's. I'm afraid that will be the result from what is seen here.

With change comes minor hiccups, like todays spammer attack as the holes in the firewall get repaired.
Give it some time, don't  make any rash decisions based on the first few days of operation.

Like myself, with countless posts and threads documenting the rebuild of my car to road worthiness,  I believe most people will view this not as a disaster, but a fresh start, both to learn from the past, and relearn in the future.

It's unfortunate but I'm sure the Admin did everything he/she//they could.
The forum has been and will be the great resource that it is.
thanks much.

Wow...it's all gone. Nothing here but porn spam.

I'm very disappointed

All the input and gut wrenching emotion gone forever....
Like all the Kiwi info and tears....?

Here is the silver lining. Now I get a chance to have just as many posts as Pete D. and Bob G. . Who am I kidding in a week they will be far ahead of me. Hope we don't get discouraged and press on with the new site.

I miss the old days of the Snakebite. I also miss real cash registers, lead in the gas, and Leave it to Beaver on TV.

What a loss!  Hey, lets blame it on the Russians!   Yea, the Russians!   Get Mueller on it!  Dig Al Gore out of the ice and get him too!

There was so much information lost.  It's a hard lesson for SAAC to learn.  Protect you data at all costs.

At least now I can start a new thread. "How many GT500 KR convertibles were actually built in 1968?" Nobody will be able to tell me "why don't you just do a search".
