anyone else having trouble logging virgin keeps saying cant find the website

 

Same here tried a few times like u say keeps saying can't find website ?

 

Think they must have been hacked as when I tried last night it kept redirecting my bookmark to some random weight training site? Today just says can't find?

 

I cannot access this webpage since last night.

 

Its a server issue, a couple of other sites use the same server & they are down.
Hopefully be back up within the week.

 

PMSL banned from that site and glad of it.

 

Any news when it's up and running again, 2 weeks now with no news

 

Hi,
Sorry no news. We are reliant on someone that is genuinely ill at present, we dont want to hastle him as he has more important things to worry about than a website. It will be back, just not sure on the timescale, hopefully will know more this weekend. In the meantime plenty of other sites like this one to post on & im sure plenty to do on your cars!
Thanks to Passionford mods/admin for allowing this thread to stay, as it helps inform people. Cheers.

 

Thanks for reply, Yes plenty to do on car, that's where I'm off now

 

Thanks for the update tony.

It's a bit of an ironic piss take how one registrars site's link is allowed on the Rsoc site and actively promoted in RN and yet another registrars site isn't even allowed to be mentioned on there without it being deleted as it's not within the interests of the club despite being owned by 15+ year Rsoc members.

 

the joys of the RS club rules,

 

nearly as bad as the cars

 

Know what you mean mate I had a post deleted in there and a message send to me from some jobsworth incase it sent people away from that site like it needs any help in doing that lol

 

Lol @ gibby

There's a reason the place is a morgue and it's all of their own making

 

Ive not been on the rsoc forum this year. Is it completely dead now. Have members been requesting for it to go back. Ive not really missed it, but does seem wierd not going on there after almost a decade of heavy usage.

 

Honestly mark you struggle to get a word in on there now

 

Its not often, you struggle to make yourself heard Chrisp I sent you a pm , reply....in English , not that language you use please.


Its taking longer than we thought as you can guess, , when I have definite news I will let you know, but we are more hopeful now than we were last week!

 

Did you not get my reply my shandy drinking porn obsession ����

Shame really, They need to promote the forum heavily with a new user friendly approach. Bring back the 'forum for all'. The Facebook page is a pain with idiots posting my mk2/3 RS this and that which is damn right annoying when Ford have produced numerous or different RS car based on a MK2/3 model.

 

all forums are dead nowadays
the s1 site never has many posts on it
they try to be too controlling on it

 

thats abit untrue

there are enough posts to keep it ticking over

there is alot of info on there

alot of good and helpful people

i dont know anyone on there personally so my view is not biased

 

The s1 forum has been very helpful to me and i have managed to help someone out as well, thats what its all about as its getting harder and harder to keep these old girls ticking along.

 

Stop flirting with me Chrisp no m8 , no reply received

 

Our approach is that if one person finds the site useful then its worth doing, judging by the calls/texts/emails we have had some people want it back so it will be. We have finally got to the route of the issue so I genuinely expect it back in the near future.
I agree that most forums are quieter now than ever, but still a place for them imo although they cant compete with facebook etc for traffic.
Ive always used several forums inc this one for many years ( I had problems with my old user name RS1600ireg so I made a new one recently) & I get something useful from them all.

 

Would be nice to see the s1 site back up and running again

I thing it's ran very well and some very nice and help full people in there

I enjoyed reading this forum. Great to see some helpful people solving problems. Loads of information on how to restore a car and solve car problems. Hope to see it running again soon.

 

I dont have a MK3 Escort, But I find S1turbo forum very helpful, friendly and always great to see pics on there. I've only stumbled across 1 nasty person on there in the years i've been on it.

 

Need it bringing back online asap - need my fix of all things s1

 

We are trying Hezz, it will definately be back, plenty going on behind the scenes ! Thanks to evreyone who wants it back, makes the hastle worth while.

 

No, that will probably be down to the guy who sorts our hosting being big into gym-stuff and have re-directed to one of his own sites temporarily until it was drawn-down by the server.
We're working on bringing it back and hopefully with some help we'll be able to transfer over to a new server soon

 

Nice s1 must go to be cherrished by someone else.....

 

hurry up shawn ,im getting withdrawl symptoms lol

 

yeah im missing it also!

 

as above want to get on it..bought a mint s1 and want to get back on the site cheers

 

Any pics mo?

 

how long till its back up and running again?

 

Shocking no one who runs it can give a real answer, month ago they say 2 weeks,,,, someone said there's a temp 1 on another site somewhere,
Where I don't know

 

Taken longer than we thought, can only apologise, shouldnt be too much longer from what ive been told.

As said earlier the person that was responsible for the server is genuinely ill, we are changing the hosting of the server & the person responsible, which has taken longer than anticipated.

 

Strange, as two people out of the three who own it have posted on here with an explanation

Sorry it can't be quicker, but it's out of our hands for the reasons rs1600ireg has already posted. Sometimes other things are more important than a website..

 

I think it's more shocking no one has asked how the guy who's ill is getting on. Just goes to show u the internet can be very impersonal. Hope he gets better soon
