Default DOES PF NEED A NEW SERVER ?

**** EDITED ****
NOTE: This was meant to be a humourous post but not every one is getting it !
*********

Just noticed, General discussion is nearly 1000 PAGES long.

I think it may be time for PF to get some more disk space or another server.

Mind you, if all the SECS put down posts were deleted it would
free up loads of memory !

(even more space if IMA went on holiday for 2 weeks)

Thrush, If you think its that bad why add to it - Perhaps you are secretly seeking attention either that
or any excuse to post so you can sell your car

Spikey/Simon - what other explanation could there be for this thread other than to draw more attention to and add more fire to the SECS/IMA saga? It certainly wasn't a "lets help PF out with more bandwidth" thread....

Sorry but everyone moans at Phil for random/attention seeking posts, yet here is another bold as brass? Why bother posting it, is what I am asking....

Simon - you moan about the SECS put down posts (and name IMA individually) but yet all this is is asking for more ammo to start it up again....

Seems so utterly pointless if you ask me

matt was sharp and to the point, there was more than a dig at IMA, even the thread title suggested that passionford was very sloooooow and ought to invest in a new server, not a clever way of drawing attention to oneself. cheers demon

hhm customer service = secs= non existant ?
i thought this had all been sorted months and months ago ?
i could have sworn i saw a thread ages back saying that customer service had been a bit lacking but now was top priority due to changes,
it just goes to show what a thread title can bring, i never read any ima posts (sorry ima) so i dont really know what this thread is about (until now ) i just saw it as a dig at the server and in all honesty for the past few months i have had no probs with the board at all .
anybody got a link to the original thread ? cheers nomad

ADUSR32, Thrush,
If you really had a clue what you were on about, it wouldnt be so funny.

I have worked hard in the last 6 months to turn around the previous problems
that you dont want me to forget .
As for service,
IMA recently ordered an ECU from me and got it as promised and he even
posted saying as much.
SEE https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1040301
I deal with other traders on this BB and they are happy with my service too
as far as I know.

Both off you have NEVER had any dealings with me personally so to keep
rattling on about this seems to be more of a personal attack.

As for me having a POP at IMA, this is not the case, all is done and said in the
spirit of having fun but you all seem to enjoy dissing me at every opportunity.

If this keeps you happy then carry on, but at least I have the balls and brains to
bring these inovative products out to the general public and try to be as
helpfull as I possibly can in all matters not just relating to my products
and at least I do have a genuine Passion for Fords.

ignoring all the shit on this post, i have a question for stu/pet

is it possible to have a temporary area on the server for members (maybe just gold members even) to host video's for say 7 days? maybe a 50MB area each or something?

i've got some good video footage of the gatebil meet in norway last weekend but cannot find anywhere to host it without paying up for a service (unbelievable huh? you don't get something for nothing, even on t'internet), and i'd like to share it specifically with pf members (maybe you could prevent external linking so people couldn't just fill it with crap for everyone to see?)

foreigneRS,
I have two servers with loads of space.
I have thought about setting up a upload space for PF users similar to photo
bucket but would allow videos or any other file.
Must talk to Stu about this sometime.

If you have broadband, you could either mail it to me or failing that,
I may be able to give you temporary access to an FTP client on my backup server.
Let me know if interested

Put aside your ego for a bit Simon as this thread has NOTHING to do with your products or whatever, and I would be interested to see an accurate breakdown of this post from yourself;

Just noticed, General discussion is nearly 1000 PAGES long.

I think it may be time for PF to get some more disk space or another server.

Mind you, if all the SECS put down posts were deleted it would
free up loads of memory !

(even more space if IMA went on holiday for 2 weeks)
What is the reason for this post? Can you explain it to me please.......

Thrush,
As the subject says, I noticed that the general discussion page is nearly 1000 pages long.
That is a sh*t load of data and I was mearly making the humouros comment at
my own expense.

Is that too hard for you to understand as most others on here seem to get it including Stu. !

By the way have you sold your car yet ?

Well Simon, whilst you may choose to belive that is the only reason, the way it appears on paper (screen) is another jab, stoking the fire of this little "war" you have with Phil.... So how can you complain about Phils behaviour when what you are typing is exactly the same thing? It doesn't compute son

And I'm sure that you have no idea of the server specs Petrucci has to back up Passionford, so how can you assume it needs a new server? surely if you were THAT concerned you'd have mailed Stu/Pet direct ?

And prey tell, like you inclusing of your product (which is not in question at all btw - felling a bit over protective again are we?) what does the sale of my car have to do with anything?

Thrush

Before I begin, this thread was in NO way an insult of PF / Pettruci or
any part of the PF server.
IT WAS HUMOUR THAT YOU DO NOT OBVIOUSLY UNDERSTAND.

I dont see why my initial post upsets you so much.
I have explained it as you ask but if you choose not to accept it that is your choice.
Every one else seems to get it

IMA and myself as far as I am concerned are NOT "at war" despite what
you and others may think.

It seems to me you and ADUSR32 have a personal axe to grind.
What is your problem ?

My reason for referring to your car sale is as my original reason.
perhaps the more posts you make the more likely you are to sell it.
I can miss interpret the reason for posting too

No the more times I post it in the cars for sale area the moe likely I am to sell it

so if it was a humour joke about the server, and you and Phil are not at war, why bother with;

Mind you, if all the SECS put down posts were deleted it would
free up loads of memory !

(even more space if IMA went on holiday for 2 weeks)
All that is is bringing it up AGAIN. Did you read the Dingy/Ranj thread? Both complained about each other but all the time all they were doing was adding to the slagging they gave each other. Neither could refrain from mentioning it at every opportunity to try and "win".... In the end it jsut got stupid and fucked a lot of people off.... If you and Phil have no more probs, why bother bringing it up again? Why not just get over it and move on?

And BTW - I don't know you personally, so I can't have a "personal axe to grind" so that isn't the reason.... I reckon you and Phil are good for each other as you both seem to take any form of cristism(sp) as a personal attack

Thrush,

OK, yes i mentioned IMA in this but I think even Phil would have accepted
it in the context it was made.

I have explained to you again above in my other post above and will
not do so again as it is not my fault if you cannot or choose not to accept
the thread initial post in the humourous manor in which is was intended.
Plus it was explained in simpler terms too.

How could I have been SOOOOO stupid?????

Only jsut realised that by my questioning this thread and it's reasons has only played into your hands some more by re-highlighting the situation....

Therefore I shall not post again as to avoid the thing it is I was making reference to

Quite true. My mistake.
But you originally implied that this thread was to satisfy my ego and/or slag off
IMA which was not the case so I implied that you were only adding to this
thread to sell your car to keep this at the top of the discussion board.

Its not just you that can miss-interpret thread meanings.

Does that explain it or is this going on more even though you said you would not post anymore

Thrush,

Sorry, but I dont see this post being anything like you claim.

I see it a a post that Simon started in the spirit of "general discussion", and I am sure that most peeps reading would feel the same.

I award you with the following LOGO:

But, dont take this the wrong way pleeeeaze - LOGO is meant in humour...and there are many on PF that are much more deserving of it then you....
