OK ??? Sooo What happened ???

OK??? So what happened to Splinters, Marcel, DesignDevil, Leon etc...??? Just to name a few.

[froo]

Yes good question.
I miss those guys!

Hola hola hola!

i was testing how important is U3dA for you guys, and as usual, we don't know how much we love something until godaddy shows you that is near to be deleted hahahaha.. Ok, understand that the joke sounds good in spanish..

ok, hope things go fine now.. and as bob mentioned, will be other domain without S as a plan B.

AFAIK... Splinters is busily converting the buddyworld books to iTunes ready content and going through the process to get the 25k pounds sterling to launch his business.

I believe Marcel is taking a break to work on other things following the completion of B.O.T. I have no doubt doing a movie on your own is rewarding but exhausting.

I think DD is busy working on some plugin stuff so he might be more easily found at truespaceplugins.com

I have had to slow down because I have somehow torn the rotator cuff in my left shoulder.... I think it was the last time I had ex.

I would try to be funnier because painkillers can help that along but typing with one hand is tiring....

When I heal up I will be taking another shot at the pet project I uploaded the concept image for.

I was hoping for a hostile takeover by a porn site.

Just to boost the site's visit count you understand. :bananadevil:

i think you are free to make some cute women models in poser of tS :)

anyway thanks, that this place still works :)

Holy cow, 45 bucks just for a domain? I would highly suggest to change the hoster. That`s theft!

[Jimmer]

It's BACK it's BACK ! ! ! ! Now, that was a long 2 days......
To say I was concerned, would be an understatement ! ! !
My favorites button seems to be working again.....

[froo]

Well it''s $45 for 3 years, so, $15 per year.

Yeah I am glad it's back too!

Splinters, Marcel, DesignDevil, Leon etc

A new photo-shopped photo is needed.

I think Prodigy should arrange for a few people, admins/mods I guess, to know the locations of U3DA's resources (domain name(s), bandwidth/storage host, etc.), any passwords needed, and the basics of how to renew or change these services. I don't know how many do know these things but there should be more than one.

Another issue, admins should arrange for backups of U3DA to be made periodically. A lot of people have invested time and effort in their posts here and backups would provide a way to recover in case of disaster. I mean backups that are downloaded from the host machines so if the site is deleted/damaged then it can still be restored.

In essence, more than one person should know passwords etc. and back it up so the site can survive trouble.

You bring up some interesting points Finis. I am not sure what the best way would be to back-up this site.
Maybe Prodigy knows. Can it be done with HostGator?
As far as password sharing goes. I don't think I want anyone to have access to my Credit Card information however
if I should get hit by a tree, the end of the world for "United3DArtists.com would be 2014. No one else shares my account.
That is a concern of mine (the tree too...)
This site is connected to my personal account so you all should figure out how to relieve me from that responsibility in 2014.
I'll contribute a huge portion of the financing if needed but I'm not keen on having all this responsibility alone. So when the three years are up
my plan is to have someone or a group take over. I'll always be there to help with whatever is needed.

I plan on having both Domain Names sharing this site so if one should be down the other should work. So we are good to go for three years.
Heck you'll all be old, ugly and forgetful by then...

I'm glad this site was missed while it was down for a couple days. It has worth to some of you and that is rewarding.
