Is this place ready to go?
« on: July 23, 2018, 12:13:02 PM »
Not sure what to make of this. Is this just a "sandbox" to test reliability, or will this site be the new permanent GG home base?

That's up to Buck. The server and forum software are tested and set up. Server is on the west coast where MG is in Dallas.

Both are through knownhost but different data centers. I'm fighting with namecheap to get thegaragegazette.com transferred to a different register. Once I get that accomplished I can do a redirect so it will point here. Or I can continue to jump through their loops and set up another forum completely the tgg.com

Ok -- good idea! Does Buck know about this site yet; have you been in touch with him to look it over. I can send him an email to let him know.

I sent him a quick note. But he may have missed it.

There is 2 different sites .
1. THE Garage gazette
2. Garage gazette.

WTF?
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Register for thegaragegazette wasn't updating to the new address so I put this site up. Since I finally managed to snag the original name we wanted in the beginning.

OK, I was AWOL for a few days with some personal stuff, no worries. Back in the saddle and I will begin assembly of this site. Like the restart of MG you boys will be along for the ride as I build it.

So give me a few days to start fleshing her out a bit. UB
You boys better hold on cause I'm gonna have to stand on it!

We are hoping that Rusty knows of a way to merge the two sites. I do not know where we are in that process right now.

Great to see GG is back. Have missed it and was going nuts trying to find it.
Question? Are we going to get all the old content uploaded? I’ve been following Goodfellows restoration and was hoping to see his archive of rebuilt items   I’m about to drop my IRS out and need some of his sage advice.  Cheers. Al.
