I am very sorry about all the server errors that have been happening lately. I have been trying to find out what the problem is. What I have found is that the web site has become too popular for it's own good. The board has grown to a HUGE size (almost 100MB of text and pictures about first gen civics). It seems that perl (the programming language used to run this board) is running out of memory because of the size of the board and at the same time I am running out of server space very fast. What I am going to have to do is either:

1) find a new place to host it with CGI capabilities that can handle the size and traffic
or
2) archive this board to another site where everyone could view it but not post and create a new clean one on this site.

If you have ANY suggestions let me know. I am open to them.

I would say go with the Archive... That should work real well.. with less confusion of a new URL.

I would suggest to delete all the message that is a year ago to save more memory space
