The Warpath is back
 

Post away guys don't be shy! I'm ticked over what happened, but hey, what's done is done I guess, right? Besides, this new board blows away the old one in terms of control and features, I think we're really going to like it. We'll have it looking and feeling like home in no time.

:)

hey thanks to all of you guys for your hardwork in getting the site back up, much appreciated...I do have a question, for those of us who don't know, how does this site get hosted from a financial perspective? I got to thinking about it these past few days when i was really wanting to read all the posts...

Yeah Matty, thanks for all the work u put back into the site. It's tough out west when your JONESING for your daily helping of Skins info. and the warpath is down but, hey, we're back up and running so all is well.

My pockets, LOL

No seriously, the google ads we host help support the site, and we get a cut from what is sold in the warpath store. Those are the two main sources.

Some of you emailed me wondering if we were having some financial problems and I greatly appreciate the concern, really I do. I wish the problems we had were just financial, that would have been alot easier to fix!!

Between what I spend on the domain name and the server space it amounts to a little less than $100 a year, so it's really not that bad at all.

Ahhh... All is right in the world of Joe... The Warpath is BACK!!!

Thanks for all your hard work, Matty and Bozzy. We really appreciate it!!!

Withdrawl
 

I seriously need this site in my life lol, I swear to god that domain page that it was redirecting you too the past few days must have got like 1,000 hits by me. This new stuff is gonna have to get used too

WERE ALL PRATICE SQUAD AGAIN! Haha , to get to be MVP on this site was on my list of things to do one day.... what a life i live lol

I was seriously in the dumps the last few days without the site!! I really couldn't believe how much it effected me, LOL

Matty, I know its gonna take some time to get everything back to normal, I think we all understand that. But I was just wondering what was gonna be in the works for the site, are we getting the Avatars back, are there gonna be any new sections or anything to go with the new feel. Like I saw the playbook, I didnt think I saw that before. YOu know jsut stuff like that, like the plan for everything? Just a question, thanks for all the work

I missed it too!
 

I missed it too! I don't like the yellow in Hailredskins.com, nor the black in extremeskins! This site is more comfortable on the eyes. I feel like I know folks here, and the posts are very intelligent, and pretty well written. My only surprise this a.m., was to have to re-register, but I'm over it now. Matty, Bozzy, and Joe Crisp are very good at policing this site. There may be quicker responses on the other sites, but none quite as informed right here! I hope you can get the little headers (subjects) at the top worded the way we are used to. It's a little harder flipping back and forth figuring where everything is right now.

[FONT=Arial]To agree with everyone else, good job getting the site back up guys. Having to go to those other sites was torture!
It's so nice to be "back home"! [/FONT] :D

I agree. Excellent job and I know the domain site got about 500 hits from me over the last few days!

I hope to get the same feel back that we had on the other forum, including the avatars and stuff like that. This new forum has so many new features available to us I'm still working my way through everything, and I'm sure it's probably going to take a few days at least to get things going again.

As for any plans I have for the site, I honestly don't have any just yet, LOL. My main concern was just getting the board back up, so now that it's back I'll start working on the other things.

Once again I really appreciate everyone's concern and support for the site. It's good to be back!

Like Gmac I also had horrible withdrawl! I would visit the site 10 times a day. I always thought I could quit when I wanted. If it ever goes down again I might have to head to the Betty Ford clinic!

Seriously though, thanks for working so hard to get it back up so fast. You're work and generosity is appreciated by the 'skins fanbase. We have somewhere to vent, learn and ramble. I for one, don't know how I lived without it!

Fortunately, it's a nice quiet time of the season to make a change. I hardly noticed the forum was gone... ;)

Jesus Matty, you scared the crap out of me. Thanks for getting it back up. At first, I thought that I had screwed up or something and you had somehow changed the website without telling me. Anyways, hope to re-establish my mod status and I'm going to recommence my daily posting.

One of the things I like here, is that although there are less number of useers, you get a feel for everyone else and can actually read everything. I joined extrmeskins for the week and its freaking impossible to keep up with everything, cause they have so many users, many of which post junk that just takes up space. I'm glad to be back

Yep, it is better than the usenet group (though I still look in there too) as well. No trolls in here!

I browzed (other sites) but I did not buy. I knew (figured) that this would be back. Anyway welcome back.
HAIL!!

I am so glad you guys are back. I was really freaking out.

Without my daily dose of The Warpath I'm a mess.

Thanks a heep.
:)

I loved the old format, but at least now my sig. works again :)

Thanks Matty!!!

Yes, thanks for getting this up and working so quickly. extremeskins is too hard to keep up with.

Yeah, I was Jonesing too. Great to see it up and good again.

Now, about my Pro Bowl status...... :mad:

oh no!
 

oh man, this is TRAGIC! sorry for the earthquake Matty, its clearly affected all of us.

wow. you really lost everything? man, wish i could help. please be careful on "improving" anything from the last site unless its absolutely necessary under the hood. do what you can to get the site just like it was, you really had it nailed down to perfection. it was classy, clean and easy. the avatars were epic, something everyone really coveted. i'm the head of a fancy web design firm in nyc, and thewarpath.net was a refreshing jewel in this world of shock and awe. bring back the substance for the 'discriminating redskin fan'

Where's my main man bigredskinsfan63?

I was wondering the same thing , smootsmack, hes the only one that isnt signed up yet that I can remeber. Well, and my arch Rival Thalia

Matty,

I don't post a lot, but I have to say I [B]really[/B] feel for you guys. Being a webmaster/designer myself, I have had message boards collapse one too many times like that. Although VERY appreciative, I don't think people always know what it's like to spend your whole new years day fixing a corrupt SQL database and rebuilding a board of 7000 members. It [B]TRULY[/B] sucks (ALMOST as much as those damn cowboys). You guys deserve a HUGE thank you for getting it back up and working. Please relay this message to your other cohorts. I'm pretty sure you guys were scrambling around yesterday to get this place back in shape. Good luck with this new board. I certainly wish ANYONE having to do this again, especially you guys in the Redskin Brotherhood.

-SJ

Thanks again guys!

Perhaps the board going down was a blessing in disguise, I really like this new board.

Matty, they always say things happen for a reason.....just think, if Spurrier hadn't have sucked so bad, we wouldn't have Joe Gibbs back as HC!

Good job again!

Hey, Glad the Site is back!!!! I was not able to sign up so I created another user. I was previously cfimex, Now I am Mexskins.

Hail From Mexico!!!!

OH MAN THANK GOD WE ARE BACK.

I guess I know what a smoker feels like without a pack of cigs.

I was seriosuly dying with all of the Portis/Bailey talks and for once in my life I wasnt all on top of the Redskins gossip. My roomate actually told me about it and i was ashamed to be shocked in front of him.

The great site is not the look, but the people, we will be fine with whatever the look ends up being.

Thanks for the hard work men.

So glad to have yall back again. I thought I had screwed something up too. Was in total withdrawals!!! Felt like I had lost all my Skins friends!!!! I'm calming down now and catching up on all the news (and what a change in the last couple of days, eh).

Anyone else have to buy a bunch of paper bags to hyperventilate into!

Ttthhhaaannnkkk God!!!!!!!!!
 

It is so good to have you back. I've only been a member for a month and a half on the old site, but visiting the Warpath had become a part of my daily life. You really don't know what you got till it is gone.

I just wanted to thank you all for the work that you put into bringing the site back to us.

I picked a hell of a week to go away. First the Portis thing comes up and I couldn't get internet access to come check what was being said on the warpath. Then I finally get home and I log on this morning and everything was changed and I couldn't log on. It's funny, I was so pissed I couldn't get any information, I would have flipped my shit if I had finally found internet access and wouldn't have been able to log on.....Anyway, glad to be back. I will also thank Matty and whoever else had a hand in fixing the site.

Malcom, you must be really bored today to go back and pull up the first thread and then post something on it! Wait,.... I guess I just did as well.

Man, I can't believe I never posted in the first thread. I must have been so happy about the warpath being back online that I passed out and forgot to post.

Re: The Warpath is back
 

First threads rock

:woot:

Re: The Warpath is back
 

Hahaha, wow, reading some of these first posts is entertaining.
