Site Downtime Due To Maintenance 02/19/2009

THE SITE WILL BE DOWN TUESDAY MORNING

Thursday, February 19, 2009


We will be upgrading Hyundaiperformance.com starting at approximately 4am (EST), and finishing sometime around 4pm (EST). The upgrade will consist of updating the board software, many bug fixes, and re-arranging the site to give it a fresher look and feel. Membership options will also be added for those who wish to contribute to the site. Lastly, new anti-spam measures are a part of the update as well.

Thanks for your patience during the downtime!

Nadeem

Unless they get rid of all the banner ads and stuff, the site will always be filled with spam. The only way to get rid of it 100% while keeping the ads, is if they make it so that you have to enter a CAPTCHA code each time you make a post. Then the automated bots wont be able to post. But I can see if they end up doing that, it'll piss off alot of people even more so than before with all the spam. blink.gif

So, its back up. I'm laughing because they said they made the upgrade to combat against spam. There are soooooo many banner ads there now, its not even funny.

Also, look at this:

http://www.hyundaiperformance.com/forums/payments.php

Are they serious???? Paying money just to turn the ads off and get a few other things that not many people probably really care about. All I can say is wow. That site totally has hit rock bottom now.

For the record, I no longer have any financial interest in the site, so I have nothing to do with the ads. I'm just an Admin now.

Yeah, it's nothing against you. That's just the way it goes once it's fully commercialized like it has been.
