Rennlist Site Changes/Upgrades
Greetings….
Since this is the first ADMIN note in quite sometime, I’ll try to keep this short and sweet – so as not to bore you….
SITE UPGRADE: please be aware that beginning on February 18th, Rennlist will be upgrading my connections to the Internet. In effect, I hope to at least double our bandwidth capacity during that installation;
MAINTENANCE: You may have noticed over the past two weeks, portions of the Rennlist site and specific servers have been intermittently off-line. During those times, I have upgraded our internal network and changed over to an entirely switched network, and replaced many of the older servers/systems. Please expect this to continue throughout the next two weeks while our main circuits are being upgraded/installed;
RENNLIST.COM E-MAIL ACCOUNTS: If you are a current Rennlist Member with a membership card and have requested an e-mail account in the “rennlist.com” domain, I have just completed the upgrade to that server. If I have not set you up yet, please resubmit your request here: <a href="https://rennlist.com/index/mail.htm" target="_blank">https://rennlist.com/index/mail.htm</a> and I’ll get your account squared away ASAP. As well, to decrease SPAM to these accounts, I am doing RBL lookups – so if you try sending me (or any user at “rennlist.com” e-mail address) from a server that is “Blacklisted” as an open-relay, we will NOT get your e-mail.
FORUMS: The Rennlist Forums (http://forums.rennlist.com) are extremely active throughout the day and evening hours. Please be aware that during the site & network upgrade, I will be re-coding all the Forums. I will post specifics to the individual Forums later this week on what to expect for features, changes, additions and modifications;
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Within the next several weeks, you will notice some changes and additions to the Rennlist Site – some of them are planned to be quite unique and frankly, some are long overdue. For example – the 911 SC Registry, a Cayenne area specifically, an announcement of a strategic alliance for non-Porsche parts for all major brands of vehicles and development of the RennParts sites which will also include Member Specials, weekly specials and “blow-out” sales. I will announce these, and other areas, as they become available;
HERSHEY SWAPMEET: Yes, Jen and I are planning on attending. We will be announcing any Rennlist Activities in the next week or so – so please stay tuned! Frankly – we simply haven’t had time to finish up the plans nor the planning of the functions, given the workload outlined above in addition to our paying jobs… <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
Best to all!
