I will cut and paste this from another post

Why did you not simply upgrade the software versions as they came available?
This doesn't require much diligence., You had free version upgrades, and it's not too hard..
Just wondering.
(Will I get banned for a simple question?)
Not at all. I am, glad you asked.....Here is what I had going.
(FYI: Nothing was free. The prior owners had let all the options expire. I don't blame them. I did not know to, so I didn't do it either. The server, the software, the migration and hosting, (Not to mention the after hours all night bill) are all coming from the site)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------From another Thread........
Ya know........
This is going to sound very odd, BUT........
Maybe, JUST maybe, the hacker did Turbobuick.com and it's members a big favor. here is why:
I have had this new version up and running on another server at Corbett for a bit. When we upgraded the server awhile ago, remember when the board all of a sudden started hauling butt? That is when we went to the 8 port new blade server. (BTW: I have no idea what that is I just got the bill)
Ok so we had this version of the board up and running on another server and they had made an agreement with me to let them do it as they had time and it would be kinder to the bill to migrate the database. So I was gonna wait till they had it all migrated and ready , then just , BLAM, one day here it is. As you can see with the little glitches we are experiancing now, it wasn't done completely. So now we have these little issues to deal with. So what? As long as you all work with me to assist in anything you notice doesn't look or work correctly, we will have this perfected soon. Yea right, like it will ever be "perfect" but we can dream and strive, right?. Back to the favor>>>>>>.
But, when the hacker came in , that forced my and Corbett's hand to just do it now. Right now. So in essence, "they" got you guys the board "now". Sounds odd, but I found it kinda funny.
Just a way to look at this unfortunate incident in a POSITIVE light.
What else can we do?
Not to mention, it was long overdue.

Legitamit question, and without attitude. Thank you, Super Six.
I want this board to start out "fresh" . I, ( guilty as the next guy) as well as all the other members will both respect it and try to just police themselves. There are the same rules as we had and have remained the same, and we all, or most, are adults and "should" know what is right from wrong.
I just want Turbobuick.com members to be happy and enjoy their community.
I am hoping with the "new" board, this is a start and we can strive to achieve.
Enjoy no matter what. Lots more to come as time allows. I just wish I could have had it ALL done so ALL would be up and working right now. We got lots to come. TSM rules and forums, members rides, live tech, all sorts of cool things to come.
Now my surprise is out early
Oh well...
Anyway, I'm out
