The New & Improved Garage Journal!

[Ryan]

Wow... that was one hell of a week. As many of you have noted, the performance of garagejournal.com hadn't gotten to the point where at times, the site was almost impossible to use. The main problem was that we've seen such a traffic increase over th...

Thanks for updating the site, and keeping it running. My shop wouldn't have turned out as great as it did if not for this site.

Thanks Ryan!!!!

 

[Mr.Mix]

It is snappy! Well done glad the upgrades could be made.

It is running rather well now. Great job!

 

[Kevin54]

Way to go Ryan

 

[onething]

but what have you done for us lately?

I have a friend who runs one of these. I had no idea how much work was involved, and as haugy said, GJ makes my world a better place.

Thanks a lot.

Ryan, as a former IT person, I offer my sincere thanks for your efforts; the headaches brought on by site maintenance must be major.

 

[Falcon67]

Good response now, well worth the effort on your end. But then for the content here, I don't mind waiting a little.

 

[Mmfh]

Thank You Ryan!

I really like hanging out here and it was getting frustrating, My computer wasn't going to hell after all.

Thank You!

Thanks Ryan, I would love to be part of the alliance but it is not within my means right now. I do enjoy the site and wouldn't have the insight, knowledge, and experience to draw from anywhere else.

Thank You SIR!

 

[marcusicp]

Way faster! Thanks! Glad I could help as an alliance member!

 

[BevoZ06]

Ryan,

I am so new that I didn't know what the Alliance was until your post prompted me to investigate.

So, because of my appreciation for your efforts and your Boomer Sooner alliance notwithstanding, I will be joining as an Alliance member. Also thanks for moving one of my threads for me.

Yours in good football rivalry and with appreciation for this forum,

Thank you sir, your efforts do not go unnoticed.

 

[Buford T. Justice]

Thanks for the upkeep of my all-time favorite website!

 

[slim53]

Thanks for the update. We really appreciate the new speed here and on the HAMB!!!

 

[slghmmr88]

Many many thanks for all you do Ryan and am pleased that I could play a miniscule role as an alliance member and will re-up each year as long as I am able. Can't wait to finally mount my tag on my toolbox after I finish it's new home and bring it out of it's storage trailer where if has been since 95.

 

[Andy Griffith]

Thanks Ryan, appreciate the time and effort to keep this place going, and ad free nonetheless. It is a tremendous resource.

[marty_p]

Ryan, you deserve a 'frosty BEvERage' of your choice from each and every one of us for making this happen!!!

THANK YOU for all of your dedication to the GJ!

 

[softailgarage]

Thank you for continuing enabling my addiction I cant imagine what the withdrawls would be like

[BeachBum2012]

Thanks Ryan! Nice and fast now.

 

[DYNA BILL]

Appreciate all your efforts, Ryan.
This site runs like a rocket now!

 

[texasOFT]

Really appreciate all you do!

 

[HOTFR8]

Thanks Ryan.

If you can read this thank a teacher.

If you can read this on the GJ forum then we have to also thank those who have paid the Alliance Membership.

Still waiting to see what Aussie Companies become vendors before I join either here or perhaps on the HAMB.

 

[Gatsby]

G'day from Australia Ryan. This is one of the best sites on the web. Many of the posts on here have taught me all those things that my father never got around to.

 

[rmckee]

Thank you so much! I had the same thought as others.... figured my internet connection really **** the bed.

Glad to be a part of such a great forum. Really appreciate the work you do, Ryan!

 

[Bryan Burns]

Thank you Ryan!

As luck would have it, I'd been having trouble with my AT&T DSL service at the same time you were having server overload problems.

My trouble was slow bandwidth and disconnects so, because The Garage Journal is one of my favorite sites, I had a hard time troubleshooting.

For what it's worth, I got rid of the crappy speedstream modem (the second one in three years) and bought a Motorola modem at BestBuy on February 8th and it solved my bandwidth problem.

GJ is a wonderful source of information on all things garage related and not related as well. You've helped us form a wonderful community here that literally circles the globe! Thank you, Ryan, so much for all your hard work and dedication to keeping the GJ up and running and feeding some addictions we didn't even know we had.

Ryan,

Upgrade the server, increase the bandwidth, spend even more money.

Heck, wouldn't it have been easier for you to just banish Tom Payne & Jack Olsen!!!!

j/k, they are both tremendous inspirations for the rest of us to attempt to get our act together.
