HazzardNet Announcements

A lot of folks help keep an eye on this place, and sometimes we're not recognizing them like we should. Tonight I'm givin' a big ol' HazzardNet Hollar to Val Strate, for reporting a spammer in our Forums. Val, thank ya for finding the problem and going the extra step of notifying us about it. Sal-ute ! It's good citizens like you who help keep HazzardNet safe and enjoyable for all.

I've decided I'd put together an all-purpose suggestion thread here so on the rare occasion that any of us actually do any work around here, we'll have an idea of what you'd like for us to improve. So, what would y'all like to see here at HazzardNet? We do have some guidelines... 1) It has to be feasible both financially and in terms of our collective skills. 2) It has to be something that can be accomplished in a month or two. We have short attention spans. 3) I'm sure there's something else I wanted to put here, but... well, refer to #2 about the attention span. So, ask away!

We've just upgraded to a new version of the forums and it includes some great new social features. You can check out all the new features in the FAQ, here: http://www.hazzardnet.com/forums/faq.php?faq=vb3_board_faq#faq_vb3_board_usage In addition, to combat spammers, we've set up new user groups. For the first 10 days to 30 days and 5 or more posts, users will have limited permissions. They cannot have an avatar, signature, or PM privileges. However, if you are honestly participating in the forum, please feel free to PM or email us and request that we promote you and give you regular permissions.

Howdy, all! I did an upgrade of the forums tonight. If you notice any weirdness (in terms of software behavior, that is), please report it to us so we can investigate and fix it. Thanks! Nel

ive got a new dukes of hazzard website if ya'll wanna join it you can the link is in my signature and here..... http://bolukeduke7985.proboards83.com/ its still undergoing a few changes as of right now.

I met with cooter and we talked for an hour about the show and the pops.He knows I strated a group.He was thrilled that I did! I will upload some pics of cooter sometim in the next few days!

We added a new classified ads section to HazzardNet. If you have anything to sell or are looking for particular items, post an ad! http://www.hazzardnet.com/classifieds/

The chat room has been integrated into the new forums. Just click on the "Chat" option in the forums navbar and choose to chat in a forum web page or have the chat room pop open in another window. You can view how many people are chatting in the upper right hand corner of the forums under the Private Messages listing. Have fun chatting!

Now that we have a new forum and can do such neat things as add smilies and avatars easily, I'm putting out a call for folks to nominate and/or submit smilies and avatars for inclusion in our forums for everyone to use. One good place to find smilies is http://www.mazeguy.net. If you find one you like there, simply click on it, copy the code they provide in the box above the list of smilies and post it in this thread for us to take a look at. I am in the process of making some avatars for everyone to use. If you're graphically inclined, feel free to offer some of your own creations for others to use. Obviously, we don't want to go too overboard with smilies and avatars, s…

We have updated the forums to new software. We've imported the old forums, but you'll all need to recreate your avatars. There was some sort of glitch with that operation. Sorry for any inconvenience. We hope you enjoy the new functionality! Please let us know if you encounter any problems with the new system.

Howdy y'all! Well I dunno about y'all but I'm tired of seein' that the most users ever on HNet was 35, set back in February of 2005. So I'm issuing a challenge to all our users out there! Every night this week I wanna see as many users as possible here at HNet. I know most of you visit the place in the evening hours so I'm gonna set the time between 7 and 11 pm. Now, obiviously I don't expect all of ya to hang around for 4 hours to add to the numbers but...you're welcome to. LOL. Actually, you don't even have to post anything, just be at the forums page. You could have HNet open in another browser while you continue doing yer thing. Okay, I'm probably asking too much b…

Folks, several people have been signing up with inappropriate and destructive links in their profiles. To stop this behavior and to protect our membership, I have decided to disable website links in member profiles. I realize this is somewhat of a penalty for those of you who have websites, but it is needed to prevent our membership from getting viruses from these sites and to protect those of our members who are minors from stumbling onto some incredibly disgusting and inappropriate websites. The latest batch of new member profiles had links to sites that were riddled with viruses and trojans. Tactics like these are usually done by outsiders with no interest in sticking …

8/27/2005 1:25am Pacific. Forums are back online. Now, to work on the gallery. Will post here when that is complete. -Mufn

For workin' triple overtime to restore HazzardNet, after the most horrendous crash we've had in our history. You took the place from smoking ruins, to business as usual , in just about 24 hours, give r' take. You gave up your holiday, along with a good deal of sleep, to do it. Sometimes I forget - or take for granted - the technical side of this place, until somethin' goes wrong. HazzardNet has survived hostile attacks by hackers, it has survived MaryAnne, ( j/k ! ) and it has survived server disruptions and hardware failures. Thank you for the ongoin' work you've put into the machinery here...for several years. It's been too long since I've said it...but you ar…

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, the forums got hacked again. Thanks to Verve Hosting for the quick turnaround on loading the last good database backup. I think we only lost a few hour's worth of posts. I would suggest that all of you change your passwords, just in case. Meadowmufn

Hi folks! For all y'all that don't make yer way to the front page of HNet (and why not?!?!), just wanted to let ya know that the Confederate General Lee Fan Club is hosting the following shindig/fundraiser for Special Olympics in Little Rock Arkansas: Here's the scoop from Scott Romine... We are having our second annual "Dukes Day" fundraiser for Special Olympics on May 6th and 7th in Little Rock, Arkansas. This year we have Ben "Cooter" Jones and Sonny "Enos" Shroyer booked along with stuntmen Al Wyatt Jr. and Corey Eubanks who jumped the General Lee. Friday night features a catered banquet with speeches by the stars complete with silent auction. Saturday features a hos…

Howdy! HazzardNet is enjoying some great new people as we continue to grow. But with that, every now and then, comes the occassional stray bullet that's out to cause trouble. If y'all see any posts that are obnoxious and inflammatory - don't panic. Most of all - don't react and take the bait. Report it to us via a Pirvate Message or email and we'll take care of it. Without attention and reaction, the disruptive types eventually get bored and wander off, looking for other message boards to annoy. Thanks to all of you who reported past problems, and help keep an eye on the place. Much appreciated! Brian

I finally figured out what the glitch was in the gallery. It's fixed now and you can view the larger images. - Mufn

HazzardNet is up and running on a new server now. Thanks for your patience. If you happen to come upon any bugs on the site, please let us know so we can fix 'em. -Mufn

Howdy ya'll ! Just a quick reminder, that HazzardNet does not permit solicitation of it's members through the forums. In other words, if you wanna have a link exchange with us - fantastic, but go through the proper channels. Email us at: Webmaster@hazzardnet.com . This will give us a chance to check out yer website, and see if we are companionable. Otherwise, the forums could turn into one big run of classified ads, and that's not the idea. Newsworthy stuff, like links to Dukes-related articles n' such, are okay. We totally welcome that and appreciate it. What makes HazzardNet unique is that content comes from everybody. And in turn, we do all we can to protect t…

For any y'all that by-pass the front page of the site, I recommend y'all go check out HNet's six candidates for the US Presidency and cast your vote! http://www.hazzardnet.com/

Hi folks, we're back after an unfortunate incident involving the board being hacked. Please be aware that any posts made after September 15th were lost in the recovery. Thank you for your patience and support.

Okay, it was time to panic for awhile because I managed to pull a Rosco with my only workin' computer. Yes, I crashed it into a tree. I'll explain later. Anyhow! I got another county-issue computer goin', and maybe now I'll get that newsletter done. Really. Honest. Soon. Keep yer fingers crossed. Brian
