i want to complain! sorry, i'm tired and i couldn't think of any great smart rearend things to say.

[DaveMorris]

maybe the people complaining should cough up the money to support the site, if it means so much to them

I know I'm not orange, but I'm not *****ing either

AMEN to that! Especially at a mere $25 a year.

I have been doing it through www.kproxy.com,then I just type ''www.sdreefs.com'' in the search bar and you should be good

One thing I would recommend is turning on your popup blocker to ''high'',b/c man does that site have popups.........

My god almost 4000 posts you have done and you havent ponied up yet lol. Wow I would keep my head down lol. I was a Premium member for a while. I felt as much as I was using the boards I should contribute and I was only at 200 or less posts lol. I stopped the Prem membership after a while I was off and RL stuff. I was going to re up because I am back active again. Dude you should right a book if you have the knowledge to post 4 thousand times or do you have a store or something lol. And Im not being sarcastic, you must be very knowledgeable / bow or a big biz ? Site sponser maybe? Anyway, its all good If you read the apology post. I felt bad and Tech is trying to make the site better for all of us. Its like Dave said I need to treat this like a reef with patience. I did not know what was going on all I knew was the LC here and other sites were saying they couldnt get on still and peps had set up temp homes at other forums. It worried me we would loose some nice locals to other sites. This is home and I missed it as did soo many others. Its gonna just get better! But grats on the 4 thousand posts guess you had to get a couple in this thread to lol. They ever charge by the post you in trouble lol

For stats: Verizon is our host. Couldn't log on once several days ago but it has been fine the last couple of days. Take a jog around the block. Talk to your spouse and kids, if applicable. Watch the fish. Whatever gives you stress relief - that's one reason I got a tank. Do a water change. Donate a backup web server. It sounds like that would give a lot of people stress relief. He's doing well with what he's got. You're doing a great job, Techno. Hang in there, all!

AWWWW, I sharpened my pitchfork for nothing.

Thanks for finally get this info over to SDMAS...I haven't been able to log in for days and for the whole ponying up thing, I was a paying member of this site and haven't decided to renew at this point. I'm a paying member for multiple sites and I'm pretty sure have contributed to this community in more ways than one. It definitely has been frustrating and I would suggest emails be sent out to members on how to resolve current issues. While the kproxy site seems to be a temp fix, it has it's series of annoyances with pop ups and ads. I would sure hope the hosting company has received an ear full. I understand this is just a bb but there is a fair share of commerce exchanged here and in my opinion it's crazy that it's not been resolved for this long.

here is the think I just don't understand... some say that it will take my computer 41 days for the server to recognize the new site... however a few days ago I was able to sign on at 11pm and then this morning at 745 am... but now I can't? this site is dead lately because no one can get it...please tell us if there are alternate ways for us to do this besides kproxy...some say fixing your host files? however I have vista and I can't seem to fix it.

You can modify your the hosts file on your computer and will then have no problems logging on to sdreefs. The only thing is that if you modify this file you will have problems logging on to sdreefs if at some further time they change ip addresses again.

On windows the file is located:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

On mac and linux the file is located:
/etc/hosts

You can just add:
70.84.14.194 sdreefs.com www.sdreefs.com
to the end of the hosts file and voila, no more trouble getting onto sdreefs.

This thread has some more info on how to do this:

Thanks but you might as well have typed that in chinese. If I had already donated to this site I would be angry. As it is I am just sad. Some of the sites (motorcycle) I donate to have switched servers without major disruption. If Googleing sdreefs can't get you in there will be an end to new users. What I am saying is there is nothing wrong with my computer that needs fixing. There is something wrong with the new host for this site.
Rant over.

[socalaly]

I have vista.... fix doesn't work...no one can figure it out.
