Over the next 72 hours, This Forum server (forums.rennlist.com) and the adjunct sites (Member Upload, Attachments, etc…) will be moved to servers and circuits owned by the new owners of Rennlist – Internet Brands. For that:

Please copy and paste this post - in case you have any difficulties – but, here is the short version of what will happen. First – as you may have noticed, the circuits in the last 24 hours have been pretty busy coming into this site. That’s because we have many GB of data to move across (which is happening as you read this!).

Second – we will change IP addresses for this Forum – and when that happens – you may see for a few hours, that this site is “closed” with a redirect to the new IP. If you see that – hang on – your DNS Servers are refreshing to catch the new servers/circuits – in a bit – you will be able to access the Rennlist Forums as you do now;

Third – IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE – please e-mail me at admin@rennlist.com and I.B. and I will push a refresh if your issue is not resolved in a few hours;

Fourth – the Frequently asked questions:

• Yes – Jen and I will be on Rennlist during the transition;
• No – Rennlist Memberships will not be affected;
• Yes – the Rennlist Forums and the five million plus posts will stay intact;
• No – there are NO OTHER RENNLIST SITES OR SERVERS AFFECTED AT THIS TIME (such as the Rennlist e-mail accounts, Classifieds, E-mail discussion lists, Galleries, Registries, Tech Sites, Member sites, etc., etc. are back here in NH for now.

On a personal note – this May 2008 – Rennlist comes into its eleventh year of operation. This is the first time ever a server, circuit, router, gateway – whatever – has NOT sat about three feet from where Jen & I live or work. And for that – this is as big a change for us – as it is for you. Since 1998 – I could always walk over and “kick start” a server – literally.

What are we working on now? Just this…. And with all of you – neither Rennlist nor Projects like this would have happened…

My best to all,

John D.

 

Best of luck to you and Jen.

I hope we'll continue receiving updates on the Rennwish project.

And posts from John D.

 

JD, just curious, does this mean you won't be here after the transition?

 

He is turning the site over to me.

 

Hey Randy and Jerry..!

Randy - thanks... Just "thank you"... You know why - and yep - I'll keep folks updated.. And if I don't do updates, presume I'm hi-jacked in Haiti somewhere??!!

And Jerry - yep - I'll probably be around, as the rest of Rennlist will still be "about 3 feet" from my office desk (in my office - above the garage After those are set? I'll still be here, but I.B. will decide at what level, so I can't speak for the folks at I.B. - but, based on my experience - they are great folks, and from what I'm told by other owners of sites that have been acquired, they want the original owners to stay around..

So - I'll probably stay around and get back to what I love - it's just about the cars...

BTW - did I tell you about the NCR DE on 4/30 & 5/1?? I had a terrific time - but with two students - just wanted to spend more time in the left hand seat..

Best to you guys!!!

JD

Gaining more time to do the things you love sounds great to me.
Come on over to the east coast and try some tracks around here.
You would love it.

 

LMAO....best wishes to you guys. I was briefly in Haiti recently, they are blessed to have your help. No lie.

 

Hey - I AM ON THE EAST COAST??!!! What do you have in mind...??

And V.R. - You were in Haiti??!!! If you go again - let me know, OK?? It would be my pleasure to have you visit what we are doing!!!



JD

 

OK, will do. It would be my pleasure too, if an opportunity presents itself.

I was there for a short time and....um...wasn't really able to visit much beyond the fellow we had to...um...relocate.

 

JD, I thought you were in San Diego or at least Socal.

Anyway you should come down south and do a few of our tracks.
Next weekend is Barber.

 

Hey Jerry!

I'm in Porstmouth NH - so I do get to NHMS, LRP and the Glen on occasion? Anyway - I hope to have a bit more time to get back to the track this season.. Keep me posted on dates/events, OK?? While this weekend is a bit of a "stretch" - I hope to meet up this season at an event!!!!

And V.R. - got it..!! ..!!! LOL!!!

John

 

JD, will do. We should have a Rennlist/HWFM track get together.
