Jim Disney Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Well, my long-standing distaste with my current host and an on-going dispute over a few different issues. Well, they played dirty. So Westcoaster had to go through the headache of being suspended from our host (really, it was childish given the issues in dispute). But alas, it was something that I should've done long before... I got a new host. So now on a faster, better host with more features than lypha offered... all good things! So I'll be moving the site over... not without a few small issues. It'll take me a few days to get the boards back up... and sadly, I had no recent dump of the MySQL databases for the updates. Needless to say, that'll be the biggest headache. So only the most recent updates will be re-appearing. Thanks for your understanding. No worries... Westcoaster will be back soon!
Wes Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Yeah I got freaked out when I saw the "Account Suspended" thing. I was going to email you, but then I realized that your email is through the Westcoaster domain. Sucks that this happened, hopefully the site will be back soon/
Mr Stratosphere Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Cant wait until WestCoaster returns! John Why stop at the edge... ...When you can go over!?
Nrthwnd Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Thanks for letting us know. You are one of my fave "other sites" (:kissTPRkiss:) I go to regularly, for stuff and excellent captions, heh heh. So, hoping the change (and all that it involves, from what you said there) will not be as painful as it could be, computer-wise.... Looking forward to more of the same from you guys ---- only fasterfasterfaster!!!
Homer Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Your site is the third funniest coaster site and best for weird news. Hope you come back soon. The other two, this site and ARN&R.
Jim Disney Posted February 21, 2006 Author Posted February 21, 2006 Yeah, after the crap that Robb went through with them I should've realized it was only a matter of time until they screwed me up too. So there ya have it... but yeah, I've already started some of the process of getting things set up over there. It'll be a while until everything is running properly... but I'll try to get at least a shell of the site up and running sooner rather than later.
TheGreatOne Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Your site is the third funniest coaster site and best for weird news. Hope you come back soon. The other two, this site and ARN&R. ARN&R was funny two years ago. They just keep writing the same things with different wordings, sad really, because I thought they were funny for the first few months... Also...I like their fake fan... http://arnrrulz.tripod.com/arnrfanfic/id41.html The girl in that picture is a member of the Arizona State Dance Team. I worked with her when I lived in Arizona.
SharkTums Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Gotta love Lypha and all their craptacular webhosting skills!
robbalvey Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Hey I still think that ARN&R's take on the ECC Japan trip was some of the funniest stuff I've read online in a long, long time! --Robb
Racerbret Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 I was wondering what was going on. I saw that and thought I had something wrong on my side. Shows how much I know about computers. Sorry to hear about the headache this has caused you Jim. Hope you get it worked out without too much more of a hastle.
Luxo Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 I haven't been to WC.net in a while...(I'm still Coaster_kid over there.) I guess I will make a "website revival resolution" for the occasion.
Meteornotes Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Hey I still think that ARN&R's take on the ECC Japan trip was some of the funniest stuff I've read online in a long, long time! Agreed. And I think what made it even more amusing was the reaction from the ECC/ACE folks. The main articles on ARN&R are somewhat inconsistant (though Site O'The Weak usually amuses), but the stuff on the sidebar is consistanly comedy gold. That's what keeps me coming back to the site... dt
verticalzero Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Thank's for the update on your site. Glad you have a better host and will be up and running soon. Good luck
Corkscrewed Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 t'was wondering wtf happened. Sucks that they'd low-ball you like that. Makes me a little apprehensive myself, since I'm using them right now. The fortunate thing for me is that I don't really take up a lot of resources and I don't need anything advanced, so I doubt I'd even be able to cause a problem, but this is still something annoying to know. Guess I'll be looking at another host when my plan expires. Lypha was the cheapest place that seemed good out of all the places I checked a few months ago. Anyway, good to hear things are being straightened out.
