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.
USER NAMES/HANDLES - What does yours mean? Where did it come from?

Luck seems to follow me. 
My wedding anniversary is on St. Patrick's Day. Sevens abound in my life.
Have been blessed with a wonderful life and includes my awesome hubby for nearly 40 years who entertains my whims like this cool three-wheeled bike.
And when I purchased my :f_spider:, the guy I bought it from sold it for only what he owed plus he had the personalized license tag SPYDR, which he signed over to me. Something that I consider a true blessing.
So SpyderMeLucky it is!!!! :cheers:

I built and raced sandrails, (dunebuggies) for a long time. Glamis, Dumont, Glen helen, and Ontario, CA. I did very well, 100 yards in 3.1 seconds at 107 MPH. Then went to 1/8 mile, not so good. Back to sand, therefore sandrunr1. Wife is moabgirl. She was raised in Moab, Utah. My real name, Phillip Jones, Hers is Lotus but we call her Layne.

My turn on the handle names
For a long time I used the handle of "LI4RRUT" that is my user id at work. LI = lighting (I work for GE) RR = my first and last initial, apparently I am the eighth one that has the initials of RR so the number is in front instead of at the end, and I have no clue as to what the UT stands for. Used this name for many boards I used to be on. Then one time someone that I would talk to often asked if I was gay. I said no, and asked why? When he said because of what my screen name says. For the first time I realized that it could be broken down to read as "LE - FRUIT"
pps:, so I stopped using that one.
Then when I signed up on SpyderLovers I wanted to have a more personal name again. Since my daughter was joining the Army I used Army Dad. In fact I even used "Army Dad of 1" when I got involved with the PGR. In one of the events with the PGR I learned about the Blue/Gold star parents, and with my byke being blue, and being a "Blue Star" parent I changed my screen name to Blue Star.
My real name is Robert Reaback.

well, this goes in 2 parts.
my name is Christopher and my older brother is 1 yr, 9 months older than me. when my parents brought me home from the hospital they said "Jay, this is your new brother Christopher" and he replied "kipper!"
they tell me they called me Kipper for only a few weeks before shortening it to "Kip."
a few years ago (can it really have been over 15 already?) someone was setting up an AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) account for me and set KipDaMan as my handle. i asked him why and he said "because Kip is The Man" and it stuck ever since....on boards, chat, various IMs, and sometimes even in RL even though i tried to quash it. since i couldn't really kill it off, at least i coudl make it less self-promoting by shortening to KipDM. (of course it helps if you "forget" your passwords and have to re-register under a new user ID. - "just a tip from your uncle Kip")

My story isn't all that much different. After 22 years in the Navy being know as Rags (last name Ragsdale). After retiring from the Navy and working Rags just didn't sound good at work, so I started going by my first name Ed. So when I started on the internet some years ago. Rags was used so I added E to it and became Erags.

About 9 years ago, we bought property out in the country and built a house in the middle of what used to be a cornfield. All of our county neighbors referred to us as "The Girls that built that new house." Over the years we've just become "The Girls" to our families, friends and neighbors. When we bought our Jeep Wrangler, we got the vanity plate JEPGRLZ for Jeep Girls. For the Spyder vanity plate, we shortened it to DGRLZ for "Da Girlz". (A nod to Chicago fans of Da Bears)
