    I just wanted to give everyone a general update on where I am as far as getting tags and calendars out as well as the H.A.M.B. in general... Here we go:

    1. Alliance Tags
    I've been told that I will have the 2007 Alliance tags by the 20th of this month. If you are waiting on one, I promise that I will get yours stamped and in the mail within 2 days of getting them. Ashamed about the delays and super sorry about it...

    2. Calendars
    If you ordered yours before last Thursday, it is in the mail. I will be making one last mail drop early next week, so if you still want one now is the time:

    www.jalopyjournal.com/calendar

    3. The H.A.M.B.
    We've been having some pretty major performance issues the last 2 weeks. After a bender of looking for answers, we finally solved the problem last night. You might notice the board is performing much better... Search is even starting to come around.

    All of these updates were done in preparation of a new feature launch that even Apple would be jealous of... Despite the setbacks, I still hope to have the new stuff up in running by late Feb...

    4. The Alliance
    We added two more vendors this week and we are getting ready to announce two more... Good stuff coming here too.

    Don't know if I've ever conveyed this to you, or not. But you amaze me with how consistantly forward thinking you are. With the board, the events, the journal, the whole "package". Not just one idea, but a steady stream of new, original places to take the "gospel".

    I just don't understand what it would be like to have that kind of vision.

    Okay, enough with all of that. People will think I'm trying to get a date.

    Funny thing. I woke up at 3:00 the other morning thinking about the '55. I've really lost sleep now that I actually have one. Much worse than the occasional waking up thinking about it before. So any way, I wake up and come to the HAMB to look something up and the search feature is down. So I google it. The second listing looks like pretty much what I want to know so I clicked it and guess what. It was a link to a question I had asked on here several months ago. Had all of the info I needed, but I was a little groggy and confused about how I ended up back here.

    All internet roads lead to the HAMB!
     
  5. Silly question... Are the Alliance tags on a "first come, first served" basis? Meaning if I signed up as an Alliance member in August, and that's when the subscription runs out, will I be making a mistake not re-upping early? I had planned to do it next July.

    Alliance memberships are a lot like old school magazine subscriptions (only you actually get something for your money)... If you subscribed in August of 2006, your membership will last till August of 2007...

    Ryan -

    Is there some sort of "auto-notification" prior to our subscription ending (of course, I can't recall just when I subscribed)? Can a subscription just be "rolled over" when it comes due (with the credit card/PayPal number you already have on file?

    God forbid I would actually have to do any thinking about this on my own! - LOL
     
  9. Great work Ryan, it is appreciated.

    Wasn't trying to downplay the work part, even though I thought the German did most of the hard work. But you have to a vision to know what to work towards.

    I don't believe in luck.

    Ryan, There is an old saying and I'm sure your finding it true. "The harder I work, the luckier I get".
    I'm continually amazed at what you've created here so it must be that you're just "lucky":rolleyes: THANKS!!
