Re: Sharktank (78Vette-SA)
OK guys here's the story.
Had trouble with Network Solutions, whom I now refer to as "Those FREAKIN MORONS." I had a hosting company that was giving me fits with lousy service so I wanted to move to a new company, to do this you have to notify network solutions so they can update their database which then gets passed around the internet...to keep it in simple terms. Well, after filling out the required forms countless times it never happened, Network Solutions has the worst customer service ever. I decided to let the domain registration run out then I would re-register it elsewhere. Seems simple so far. But, Network solutions being the scumbags they are held onto the domain so it could only be registered with them for $70, domains can be registered at other companies now for much cheaper. I decided to wait a while to see if it would get released but in the mean time some cheeze-head used car salesman registered it and is now directing traffic to his site with it.
The other problem I had is that I am going to school full time during the day and working 12 hour night shifts, that makes it kind of hard to keep up. I am thinking seriously about putting the site back up, hopefully with a little help from "MonkeyWrench" aka Sean Dotson who lives in town near me. If we can get more time the site will go back up soon. Right now I'm doing a 383 install on my car so that is killing most of my spare time but school will be over in 3 months so there is hope that I will one day have a life.
I still have more articles from Shark Quarterly magazine that hadn't been posted yet. In the mean time there are a couple excellent sites for C3's out there, one I remember off hand is CorvetteFaq.com. Sorry about the rest I didn't mention but my brain is fried at the moment. Hope that clears up my disappearance.....I'm still alive for the moment :jester

Re: Sharktank (C3 Shark Tank)
Man, do I share you disgust with Network Solutions. They are the ultimate in bad service gone crazy.
I get more satisfaction talking to the rear end of a donkey! :crazy:
NEVER, EVER deal with Network Solutions or VeriSign (their new parent company). Yuck!
