• 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.

If you registered early, I may not have had your handles (we didn't require them in the online sales until a week into it) and like I said, this isn't anything scientific. I just pulled the ones that I had handles for in the database from the online sales. I'll be happy to edit and add you into the listing, but again, this was just for fun. It isn't intended to be an official list. :doorag:

Now that you mention it, Doc, Forrest and the others were early registrants too. So I'll fix them. There are also some others, so I'll pull those early ones and try to sort them out manually.

I was afraid that a listing like this might cause some confusion. Remember it was done quickly from the data I had and not a labor intensive process. nojoke

(((Oh, and you might want to edit your post and remove the quote. That is a long list to be quoting! LOL. :D)))

:dontknow:How about a list of spyderlovers from Canada that are coming.

Nudle,
I'll add you to the list, but again, keep in mind that I just pulled the "paid'' registrations. :banghead:

I know you were there last year and I'll add you to the "committed" list.
If you can get me a listing of our brother Canadians attending, I will be MORE than happy to put them on there! :doorag:

I mentioned this to FastFraser also.

Edit: Too Funny Nudle. You are listed twice. Both in TX from where your registration showed, and now in CANADA also. Better get yourself cloned bro.... ;)

Man I'm so pumped about our new event this year "FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHT" this is going to be a lot of!!!! Can't wait :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
PM'ed you... Missing on the Members by state list: Dentin028 (my wife):lecturef_smilie:

Got it! :)

Next year the state by state should be easier. The online ordering didn't have a "required" field for the SpyderLovers handle until I added it a few weeks in, and as you know a meaningful and useful database has to be designed to collect data that is standardized and easily pulled. Early on, I had a free-form field. My bad! Since I am the one who set it up that way. But changed the field type a few weeks in.

But I think next year, instead of keeping a running total in the first post, I will keep the State-by-State and just a single total at the end. I think everyone likes the state by state??

You know how it is Erick, learning from mistakes and strive for continuous improvement!
