I liked the go cart pic too, but it was uber old. I think we need another go cart meet.

Well, you know all that carp I was trying to get done all week? I finished just before lunch... and no one's ready to use it...

Plus Matt just flew outta here to spend the long weekend at his Dad's in Bacos, so I'm kinda just kickin' it. I'm so outta here at 5.

Nice Job Scott! I like a change.

Is there a missing word in the welcome message?

'Most of ____ people on this site ...'

Is the timestamp on eastern time (in the new news I see today's date but 6:22pm)?

Lastly, is there any way to reinstate the picture of the mountains? I liked the look of it but now it's covered by the other windows.

Trust me, it's hard enough finding good pictures to put up there to begin with.... don't make me have to put together a selection of severl sets each month for a vote! I'm not trying to single out anyone, I'm just looking for good pictures. I put up the banner pic and the NORPAC lineup, and a good picture from each of the 3 models of Imprezas. I even tried to get an Outback up there, but I couldn't find a good pic from the club.. mostly cuz none of the "regulars" has one.

I figure the old page lasted a year+, so this one can sit around for a while too.

Regarding the mountains Debbie, the news boxes will move around as news articles change. I tried to have clear boxes, but you simply can't read the text over the mountain background.

Oh and yes, times are Eastern... Don't ask me why, I thought I set things up to be Pacific... I'll look into it, but I can't make the change till the middle of the night sometime or the shift will make the server go haywire if people post... i.e. I post a 6pm PST after the swap and it shows up *before* posts made at 8pm PST pre-swap, get it?

Nonetheless it looks good. And what else is impressive, is that you've built a website that now has 12,000+ articles and 90+ members, and when we can't read or post it's like we are going through withdrawals.

Cool, does that mean I can start charging for it and quit my job?

Something tells me if I were to charge for this train wreck, it'd just be me on here posting to myself.
