Server Update

Time for Plan C! I had trouble downloading the database and files for the website yesterday, so the move will take longer than anticipated. I was, however, able to finally download the forum patch yesterday. Yay! I will attempt to download the files and database from the site again tonight. If that does not go well, I’ll postpone the move until the weekend and just patch the forums. If this patch goes like any other patch I’ve done, things might be wonky for a bit. So, if the forums aren’t acting right, please don’t post while I try to fix things. I will still be moving the site in order to address the gallery and other technical issues. Whether that will be tonight or this weekend remains to be seen. Regardless of when the move is, the forums will be down again during the move. Continue to watch this space for news of what’s going on. I’ll try to keep you all as informed as possible. Thanks for your patience.

Stay tuned!

Musical Servers

Folks,Â HazzardNet is moving servers again. It has come to light that folks can’t upload pictures to the gallery. After investigating, it appears that some imaging software we need on the server isn’t there. On talking to tech support, they won’t load it for me. So, it’s back to our previous web host so we can get the gallery running again for uploads of all those great DukesFest photos you took.

Please excuse our mess in the meantime.

Message Boards Down

The message boards are currently down. We received a notice that a patch was available for the software, but have been unable to download it. To prevent security holes in the site, we are leaving the forums down until they can be patched, which will hopefully be tonight or tomorrow. Your understanding is appreciated.

We also received a notice that other software this site runs on has a security hole that has caused many sites running it to be hacked. I believe the code I added to the software last night has closed the security hole, but I will be transitioning away from the use of that software on this site, as it is no longer supported by the developer. Hopefully, the transition will be seemless and there will be no downtime.

Again, sorry for any inconvenience.

Back From DukesFest 2006

We’re back from DukesFest. Stay tuned for a full report and pictures and video!

It’s short notice, but I thought I’d mention that James Best will be appearing at the Lanier Speedway in Braselton, GA on June 10th for Dukes of Hazzard Night there. You can find more information at: http://www.lanierspeedway.com

Hazzard…Smallville…Broadway?

As noted below, two thirds of the HNet staff is currently in Nashville gearing up for DUKESFEST! Meanwhile, us poor unfortuante saps that are left behind must make do. LOL. BUT I’m looking to host a chat Saturday night here at the HNet Chat Room (come on in via the Forums) starting at 8pm! So stop on by and we’ll have ourselves some fun despite ourselves!

Just a few things I wanted to report on:

Dukes Post a Strong Showing in TeaVee.com Poll!!

The Dukes of Hazzard made the TeaVee.com poll for May at #18!! And for the month of May, TeaVee.com listed not the top ten, but the top twenty-five shows for the month! Awesome job y’all!

Now we’re into June! Let’s see if we can beat the #18 slot!

Dukes of Hazzard Prequel??!?!

The Internet Movie Database reported recently that there’s a Dukes Prequel in the works and that Kristin Cavallari of Laguna Beach fame is slated to play Daisy Duke. Other rumblings have been floating around the internet, many of which have been found and shared in our forums. This prequel apparently is a straight to DVD release. Based on the rumours and tidbits our forums members have found it sounds like it’s going to be a straight to the trash bin type film.
