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.

This was originally posted & quoted in May 2024:
Just seeing this now in November 2024... but it reminds me of I75/I85/I285 Interstate highways in Atlanta GA - Started with Improvements to I75 and I85 ahead of the 1996 Olympic Games. That really was just making 4 lanes from 3 (they just restriped). Then GADOT started the I285 full ring road "improvement" about 1 year later, 1997 IIRC. It is STILL going on nearly 27 years later!
GADOT has to go back and "fix" parts that were laid down years ago because of the damage from wall to wall 18-wheeler traffic most of the day. There are parts where the pavement is finished, but huge concrete barriers block traffic lanes and shoulders, leaving no place to go if accidents happen in front of you. There is a constant barrage of orange signs stating lanes are closed due to road work. The electronic signs regulating traffic onto and off the highways are many times wrong or just blinking; and the lanes for express vehicles end without warning in some places, leaving you nowhere to go...
And to add insult to injury:
1. They made the lanes narrower (might be 10-11 ft) now... again; and
2. They make constant re-striping of lanes a regular thing... No, they don't use proper reflective white paint, or it has worn off due to the massive amount of traffic... FTL
Oh, and if your GPS says 30 mins, you'd better add another 60 min, as you aren't gonna make it due to the huge amount of traffic!
If you drive to Atlanta, DO NOT use your Spyder on the Interstates, not unless your life isn't worth staying alive!

That is a good one. :yes: I had one of those flat tire dogs as a family pet. She got fired from the team early on. They were happy to give her to me for free. Foxy girl lasted another 13 years. I still have her ashes.
