• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

And even more exciting

I'm in, registered 3 at the same time. So excited for my first Spyderfest! Isn't wonderful that so many want to enjoy the fun that we actually maxed out the site. Minnesota coming for the fun!!

Because this happened at last years registration they increased the server capacity to eliminate this and WOW we did it again. Yep Nothing like Spyderfest and all that attend. Folks consistently ask wow your 6th doesn't it get boring and my answer is always IT IS THE PEOPLE...Spyder lovers are reallly special and of course I'm a salesman's delight so vendor village is an attraction I like. Then there are the rydes and the special activities and of course the just sitting around talking. Yep Spyderfest is the BEST. :thumbup::thumbup:
 
Registered

Registered and Hotel booked!!! Ready for some Spyder Riding, Friends and Food!!!:yes:
 
The number we received apparently has nothing to do with the time or order you were in when your purchase was confirmed.
Mine went through at about 12:15 and my number is 922....I see others here that were well after 12:15 but had a lower number than mine....I can see why a person can still be in the Lucky 777 and have a high confirmation number.
 
Murphy, have no fear. I have insider information, you are in the top 777!!!!!:thumbup:

So exciting...we overwhelmed the server and I KNOW FOR A FACT that they increased the server capacity and we still did it....I started at 10:01 (Pacific time)...finally got to register at 10:18 and still was not in top 777...so no goody surprise for this ole' Spyderlover.....but other than going into a very deep dark depression I will be OK...cause I am registered for Spyderfest 2016 and PayPal assures me it is a done deal......Whew that was exhausting New Year is going to have to ring itself in all by it's lonesome....My sadness over missing out on a surprise has me sucking my thumb and feeling sorry for myself...:yikes:...but I will soldier on...now becomes the 111 day countdown until departure for Springfield, MO and the premier Spyder event..:yes::yes:
HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE...
 
I can attest to how bad this "SpyderFest" thing is.....both my wife and I are sick....I know....being sick on New Years Eve is not at good start to the year but anyway........I was in bed, sick, trying to fall asleep but set my alarm to go off at 11:50 pm so I could get out of my sick bed and go to the computer to wait for 12:01 to take place so I can get registered for SpyderFest.....not feeling good at all and then I kept getting bounced off the process time and time again. At one point my "Cart" showed I owed $499.50 for two tickets! hehehehehehe It really was not a good experience being sick and getting thrown out time after time but guess what? We're in and when SpyderFest takes place we only have to drive across town to get there! However, as we Spyder Ryders know...it's as much about the trip as is it the destination!
 
Fingers crossed the Holiday Inn will be a host hotel again this year.
Really enjoyed staying there last year.
 
registered with no problem. Didn't see a number. But hope we are in the 777. :dontknow: Tom :spyder:

We are #1098.......

:agree: It's the people that make SF great . . or any rally, for that matter.

Salesman's delight? What in the world could you still have to add to Studly? :dontknow:
 
Yep! Sitting around talking is the best thing....just ask Cruzr Joe!

Spyderfest itinerary

The wifey and I will be virgins to the Spyderfest experience. We are curious on what goes on there, group rides, food, vendors entertainment or whatever? Previously we have only been to rallies of a few hundred people. So, what kind of attendance should ya'll expect? I assume some info will be coming in the mail since I didn't see that kind of info on the website. OH shoot, I better make some reservations too. Hope to make some new friends to add to our Spyder experience.
 
1000+ in attendance
