I see there's been a lot of good activity on SL including members with new rides and the site going over the 10,000 member mark. :thumbup:

I know that's just a number but that means that 10,000 people took the time to go through the registration process even though some have moved on since then, there's still a lot of lurkers here too so like I say it's just a number but it's a good number. :doorag:

Christmas day I had a major attack on my main server that shut me down and to top it off I got some kind of flu bug or something that pretty much wiped me out till today. It was hard to enjoy my two boys being home for Christmas when I was going through this junk as I have a hard time turning the work switch off and just letting go when things are out of my hands. I decided not to look at my emails or try and get any work done when I was feeling the way I was. That's why you didn't see me commenting on some of the threads that I would have normally.

I'm back now and looking forward to a great year for Spyder and SpyderLovers. 2012 was great but I have a good feeling 2013 will be even better. I want to thank you all for the great memories in 2012 and wish you all a great 2013. You folks are the best and that's no joke. Love you all :thumbup:

Glad you are felling better. This bug seems to be going around east Tennessee and northern Georgia. Where you 'hacked' or did the server get a virus infection like you did?

Glad to see you back Lamont, this site is just not the same without your input, as much as we all love too read Bob's post:roflblack::lecturef_smilie:

I'm sure the bug your server got was devoured by your Spyder and I'm sure again it wasn't a virus because you seem like a Mac Guy..(sorry Windows):cus:

Any whooo,,, glad your back, Happy New Year and lets have a Spyderific 2013

The board ran so smooth I did not even notice it. That shows what a great board you run, my lack of computer stuff, or I need to be on more. Most likely all three. Glad you are feeling better, and have a great 2013.

My Spyder has been a whole lot more fun because of this website and all that you do for it. Thanks!
I think of people I have met out there at events because I found them on this site first.
Stumpy and I both thank you and hope you feel a lot better.

I know how you feel. About 8 years ago I was hosting about 150 websites and went on vacation to do some genealogy down in Arkansas and my server company folded up on me. Email, sites everything was down. BIG Problem! I moved them all to my own dedicated server using the internet from a library. Took about a day and a half to get everything moved but I got it done. When you're self employed it seems like you're never really on vacation. Anyway good luck and have a great New Year Lamont. This site is great and the members too!
