What's New History Page

January 2006: Happy New Year! Not much to report here in the news. The bulletin board continues to be the focus of most discussions.
July 30, 2005: Well, you wanted a change... you got it. I should be working on the f*$%cking car, rather than catering to whiners, but it was a long time coming. Let us know, if you see anything broken.

August 14th, 2003: Nice blackout, eh? But, we're back!
July 28th, 2003: A sad day... we lost a good DSMer today. Dennis Natter, TeamNABR co-founder, passed away this morning, due to "medical complications". He was a good man, who believed strongly in the strength of sharing good knowledge, and a guy you could respect in a heatbeat. Anyone wishing to contribute to a donation that I will be sending directly to his family, please visit the "Hall of Honour" pages, and follow the instructions there.

January 1st, 2003: Another year, another lack of good timeslips... here's to 2003 being the year that we're all in the 11's... then PPG could actually use his 11 second sticker he bought.
December 25th, 2002: Hope Santa brought you lots of go-fast goodies... now get out and enjoy the snow in your AWD!
October 24th, 2002: Quiet fall... not much to report on. Countdown to the EVO in North America is on... 70 days and counting!

December 25th, 2001: HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!! Hope Santa brings you that new FMIC or Turbo colour of your choice.... and, remember to keep the shiny side up!
November 11, 2001: On this day... we remember, to never forget, those who have gone before, and who have bravely put their lives on the line, in the name of their country. Please take a moment and think about that...
November 9, 2001: If you're reading this, then we have finally had success. For the whole story, please read in the UBB under announcements.
November 6, 2001: A permanent solution is now underway for the website and the UBB, that should prevent any future problems whatsoever. Will keep you posted. Must now move files, get running, and then get Todd Day to redirect. Please stand by, this will take a few more days... but the long-term result will be worth it.
November 5, 2001: As an update to the UBB problem, we have been once again stalled by the ISP hosting the site. We are working on a completely new solution, and should have an answer on that possibility by Tuesday night.
November 1st, 2001: As of today its still a go. Friday November 2, 2001. 10:00am to 3:00pm $50/car (that is racing) spectators are free.
No race gas will be available.
Caravan tentatively is meeting at 8:00am at the old computer city parking lot at HWY 10 and 403 (just north of the 403) there is a Kinkos and a second cup? in that mall also. We will leave at 8:15am with a short stop at the Tims on HWY 20 in Stoney Creek at 9:00am. That should put us at Cayuga by 10:00am.
I (Mark PPG) will call Cayuga on Friday am, but we will already be in Stoney Creek by the time anyone even shows up at the track (staff ) so either way we go :-) and worsed case, we hit Stoney Creek and they tell us to go home, or we show up anyways :-P
October 30,2001: You can use the online chat function in the mean time... look to the left.
October 29, 2001: We're making progress. The main dsm.org computer was holding us up with a DNS change over the last few days, but we finally have access again, and the UBB repairs will finish shortly. It's one piece of bad luck after another, rolled in with really bad timing. We will explain when the UBB is back.
October 23, 2001: People... please stop emailing and asking when the UBB will be back. It will be back when it's fixed, and when we can be assured that no further corruption of data will occur... thank you. For us to try and make estimates and promises, is only foolhardy, and you may be disappointed when we can't meet those promises, due to circumstances that are beyond our control.
October 18, 2001: PPG's 1st annual FWD vs. AWD!! at Cayuga Friday, November 2nd. 10:00am till 3:00pm. $50/car. email PPG to reserve a spot.
October 17, 2001: We've had a major site problem... some files were corrupted, and some were lost. We're working to resolve this, and should have the UBB back up as soon as possible. We'll likely take the same opportunity to update it's version. As well, as you can see, the news history was also munged.
.....note... obviously a large chunk of history was lost here, when the ISP screwed up the server, and had to revert to an old backup...

January 6th, 1999: Toronto Folks! We are going to try again for a January meeting, this Sunday the 10th, at noon, usual location at Yorkdale! See you there... BTW, the UBB is still down unfortunately. Poor timing is to blame, as the guy who was to fix it couldn't get in, and I was lost in the work world, and unable to help him. Here's hoping to ASAP.
January 4th, 1999 - PART II: The problem with the UBB has been identified. The author of the UBB is going to work on our site personally late tomorrow night, so it should be back up and running late Tuesday or early Wednesday. He would start sooner, but is trapped out of town due to the weather, something I am sure we can all sympathize with.
January 4th, 1999: Well, during an update to the UBB (to solve the Year 1999 bug), another bug cropped up and reared it's ugly head. So, as a result, it's temporarily off-line.

April 7th, 1998: We've got some more technical information online, including a FAQ for TT install in the 2nd Gen cars. Also added a bunch of regional SoloII/AutoX events to the calendar, so check 'em out! Still looking for more technical people to help others out within their particular field of expertise.
March 31, 1998: It's BACK! The chat board returns... we believe all to be well, but if for some unknown reason you encounter any errors, please drop us a line. Also DON'T FORGET the monthly lunch, it's this Sunday, 12 noon sharp!
March 27, 1998: <sigh> Sorry guys, the chat board still isn't back. Rest assured that we're doing our best, and that if there was any way possible to get it going, it would be running. Please bear with us, we want it running as much as you do, perhaps even more. Thanks for your patience... On a brighter note, the first article has been posted by our resident Car Stereo guru... give it a look see, it's pretty darn good, and surely is Sound Advice!
March 25, 1998: Ok, we have access again (been locked out by a technical glitch since Sunday)... so we can tell you that the chat board is still down. As part of the server upgrade, Perl got pooched. So, that means that the chat board will not run, for the moment. We will post right here, just as soon as it is back up, they're working on it, and it should be fixed tomorrow! While we're typing, if you're interrested in SoloI/II, plan to hang out a little bit longer next Sunday (April 5th) after our meeting, as the open house is the same day, in Toronto, at 2:00pm... we thought we could all go there after the meeting, and show them just who we are!
March 20, 1998: The calendar has been updated over th past few days, to include SoloI, SoloII, and Rally events, check it out! Even if you don't race now, perhaps you want to, or just want to cheer some of your fellow DSM Racers on!
March 18, 1998: Fixed up the links page, updated some missing ones, and enhanced the look and feel. Thanks to Danny Yoo for checking all the links out for us, and finding the missing ones! Got more? Go look through your 'Bookmarks' file and send some of them to us!
March 17, 1998: The server upgrade that was to commence tomorrow night (Wednesday) has been pushed off until Saturday at 11am. This won't make a big difference for most of you, but for the two having problems with the chat board, sorry about the wait. For you two, you also might want to double check your system settings, as Joe Brown informed me that on his new machine today (same software), it's now working just fine. Looks like it was just his install on the old machine. ALSO, still adding more items to the events calendar, so if you have anything to add, (anything at all), just drop us a line.
March 16, 1998: We've added some descriptions of various types of racing styles, to the Tech section. Have a look, maybe there is a style for you! If nothing else, you'll at least then understand what the rest of us are talking about...
March 14, 1998: The events calendar is up. It's a bit sparse, so if you have events, send them to us!
March 12th, 1998: Ok we're back on track, and the new message forum is online, as discussed.
March 4th, 1998: Adding more and more stuff every day, too much to keep listing.
March 3rd, 1998: We have added a credits/contacts page. See if you can find it, the link is on this main page.
March 3rd, 1998: The site's look is being changed dramatically. The main factor was that the previous site layout didn't accomodate people with larger screen sizes. Feedback is always welcome. (a survey has shown that the lowest common denominator is now 800x600, with an average being 1024x768 size screens, however the site will continue to support 640x480 as best we can)
March 2nd, 1998: We got the info and pics up from the Go Karting event, check out the events page!
