what happens when everyone comes over here and the site grows and keeps growing and crashes like the srt. site? i think this site should try to merge with www.forum.derbythis.com . that site has a backup. just something to think about. ;D |

I have everything backed up to 2/20 9am  Like i said before we will upgrade to pro if we need to, Pro broads is a huge hosting and been in business for years i doubt we will have any issues as i know alot of bigger forums then this one will ever be still up no issues, It only takes good management, Deleting non sense "move to eastern promotion section" each one of those take up space and never got deleted on the old wecrash once those pile up + sold parts and dead topics that has no need to Build tips or something thats already been addressed |

Pretty sure Ryan has this site all backed up. I dont care for derbythis.com I think you guys should merge with us come over here and shut yours down. Thats basically what you are telling us to do. I just wanted to try and clear things up. I know suddenlaunch had no way of backing up data for a forum owner short of requesting it from the suddenlaunch owner. Proboards may have that option but here is where the difference comes from. Without a whole lot of data manipulation if there is a backup it can only be restored to proboards. What happens if it goes down like suddenlaunch and is down for 4 months. You can't easily have it back up and going on another forum software. With derbythis.com being on phpBB I can have the forum back up and running within 24 hours and this is if I have to change web servers. phpBB is supported on most linux based webhosting companies so it is not as much of an issue as there is more than one place it can be restored to. Second proboards makes no guarantees of service. If they decide tomorrow they do not want this forum here they can delete it without notice or any repercussions. With derbythis.com it is paid for with a guarantee of service. Without my consent they cannot do anything to the forum unless something is deemed as illegal. Third we may not have as many members but we average 10 posts per registered user as opposed to 4 posts per user on this site. Wecrash can brag the fact they had over 90,000 registered members. My thought is what difference does this make if I only have 350 people actively posting. Fourth there is some control over what happens with the forum. The users requested a LIKE button and we have it. There have been some other requests that have also been incorporated. When is this site going to have a like button? I guess you can continue on with the Karma thing that everyone hated. The capability to manipulate this into what the users want is not as easy to do. What I want to do is compare derbythis.com to the new wecrash. As was said in another post we took the benefits from moving the forum off of a free hosting board but we made it easy to use and kept the forum as a forum. Lastly we are not going away and if/when this site crashes you are all more than welcome to join us over at derbythis.com. I have no problem with this site but I like to live my life by the following quote: "Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it." It was only a little over 6 months ago we had the suddenlaunch crash. I am here to tell you that any site can crash. The difference comes in how quickly a website can be back up and running. I am telling you with derbythis.com I can have it back up within 24 hours with the maximum loss of 1 week of data. This site can only be back up as quickly as proboards decides to get it back up and running. |

I have been to your site it is nice But I like the way this one is set up.Most guys know about your site and probably go and check it out.But if you want people to go with your site I wouldnt get on here bragging about how good yours is and how bad this one is.JMO |
