Etienne (BeachBoy) has been working pretty hard on getting the main site and the forum switched over to CT4WD.com for us.
We might experience some problems with the forum and may have to close it down on Sunday to get it fully swapped over to the new host.
Sorry for any inconvenience!
Good work Etienne!

I am doing some test to see if transfer works smoothly. I should be able to get all members transfered and posts.
We will likely loose the polls and I think the PM box. Unfortunately, the free forum hosting (forumotion) dfoes not allow backups, so I have to une a script to "crawl" the pages and pull out every bit of info I can from the forum.
For nopw, www.ct4wd.com (http://www.ct4wd.com) is a copy of ct4wda but the goal is to do like other sites (i.e. ttora) and have the forum blend with the rest of the site.
We can then have our own photo galleries, calendar, announcements, etc.
Depending on weather, I'll try to transfer the forum at night and lock this one. We will still be able to login and access our PM in theory.

If yer getting 80% of the content with screen scraping, I'd say it's been a complete success guys.
Nice work!
