• 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.

Official SpyderFest 2012 Updates Post!

Jan 21st Updates! New Lodging Information Coming Soon

Hello Everyone

The news tonight is that Murphy Brown has volunteered to help all of us SpyderLovers looking for lodging in and around Cuba! :firstplace:

Being the "go getter" that she is :bowdown::bowdown: Murphy Brown has volunteered to call all of the local hotels and or campgrounds to find out what the room or campsite availability is for the days of the event. She will also try to find out if there is any special SpyderFest pricing going on! What's more, she will be doing this on regular weekly intervals until the week of the event! :doorag:

This will be SUCH a big help to everyone because they will know that they can come to this thread and see a weekly update by Murphy Brown regarding lodging.

I am not sure yet what night she will be doing this, but I think she will be doing it on or about the same day each week, so you can all be looking for that. In addition, we will follow up her post with a weekly email update to everyone on the SpyderFest email list, so you can all stay updated with the most current info!

SpyderFest is truly a grassroots event for SpyderLovers BY SpyderLovers! :yes::yes::yes:



THANK YOU SO MUCH Murphy Brown!!!
:clap::clap::clap::spyder::clap::clap::clap:
 
Update every Sunday or wee hours of Monday!!!!

Murphy Brown: :firstplace: Thank you. I haven't made a reservation yet, and would really prefer to avoid a 60 mile round trip to go back to my room to change clothes or whatever ...

Just another example of what makes Spyderfest so great, it's not Cowtown, Lamonster, or the MoGang, but it is Spyderlovers everywhere. Thank You, Murphybrown for doing this and for the idea as well.:clap::clap:

Thanks for your help on this, it is a needed task for sure and will be a big help seeing we are going to suck up all the hotels in the area. You're a very special lady. :doorag:
 
Ahhhh shucks

Thanks everyone for the words of appreciation...my pleasure indeed!!!! First report in about 12 hrs.:thumbup:..I am in Pacific Time zone.
 
I automatically add anyone who has paid so there may be some non-forum members listed (hopefully they will be SpyderLovers members soon tho!)

I have also listed forum members who have committed, but not yet paid. But most have taken advantage of the early bird discount!

So this should be a pretty comprehensive list.

Mainly just for fun purposes anyway so everyone can check it out periodically!! ;)

We also have a master list of paid registrations separate from this list.

What is cool is that I work emails (or try to) every evening and it is exciting to see the list continue to grow. Gonna be a great event!! :)

Is it possible to get an alphabetical list so it would be easy to check to see who all is coming. I remember last year someone had a program to do this and sent me the list which I printed out.

Should be very easy to do.
Just highlight the list in the first post, copy that to your clipboard and paste into Word or some other program and then sort ascending. Done!

The problem is that it changes daily, so I don't know how much good it will be???? ;)
 
Add me to the list

Just signed up and registered for Spyder Fest. Looking forward to meeting a lot of you Spyder Lovers.
 
We just booked our reservations at the Baymont in Rolla arriving Thursday, leaving Sunday. If there's anybody traveling that way from the Michigan/Ohio/Indiana areas, let us know and we'll join up with the group. I plan on leaving Wednesday and taking it easy staying on secondary roads as much as we can....Rt 66...
