Maxima.org

Is there anyone else here that's on the org? I am, and they've been down for DAYS now!!!!! What's going on?!?!?! Does anyone know why they are still offline? :1zhelp:

I signed up for the the Org and when i recieved the email to click the link. the link went to their site and it said you cannot view this link with a picture of their background. from that time on i have no way of cantacting any of the members to get them to resend it. i have sent 3 emails to their contact people with no reply. i want to participate but i cannot. I have been watching and reading the posts for a month now and have some valuable information to some people and i can't help them. anybody know how to get around this?

I don't kno the story behind the owners of the forum, but it seems like they're neglecting the site as of late.. It's been down for several days I'm getting a bit impatient too, I loved going to the site and checking things out.

is there a "used to go there, but now it sucks and the people are dicks" option in this poll?

i only go when i have a relatively serious technical problem. there are a lot of assholes but there's also a lot of knowledgable people.

Maxima.org sucks ass, i am happy with this forum. Everytime i wana register it has all kinds of errors, i think you need to make a donation or something of a kind.

It gets frustrating, there is Meet in NY this weekend and I was getting an awesome deal on a Ypipe, but now I'm SOL

you can still get those deals
i think you just have to tell them that the org is down and you want in on the deal.. whats the difference between them having your name on here and you calling and telling them.. ? that you spent 10 seconds on here to write your name down...
im sur those guys would help you out.. from what i have read they are pretty nice ..

Ive gone there several times with questions... and always found help. I had a question today but they were shut down, so here I am. unfortunaty no one has replied to my post here :-(

i hate when the org goes down. But being a total and complete maxima fanatic I visit all the maxima boards that I know of. i also enjoy this board ! i see BP2K2Max here all the time.

one cool thing about the org is all the reply post you can get with a question or if your sharing something. i think that is the big reason why the other forums have a hard time growing.

but seriously we have 1,000's of maxima owners and could use a few good places to go during times like these, or when the org is boggged down.

looking at the error message, my guess would be they are pruning the database but not sure. several months ago they did something like this but gave a notice before hand. at any rate we will survive , im just wondering when the org will be back up. i had a few things i was trying to keep track of.

yea foreal what's going on.... i just posted another thread about the same issue.... my bad.... but yea... wtf!

yea sometimes when a relatively simple question pops up they don't answer back... but all resonable question i posted were answered fast.

! i see BP2K2Max here all the time.


you know it like a poet. i'm always here.


the org's the only forum i go to where you can create a thread and then one hour later your thread is already 2 pages long.

I don't know why they are knocking the Org. You can find out anything about your maxima the same day or in mins. I post a Question one time and did a refresh in 5 Mins. I had a couple answers. And if they don't know they will tell you how & were to find it. All the Maxima websites are good in there own way. Keep it real guys Maxima 4 Life..

yeah but it's not "comfortable" as theses here forums. most everyone here is friendly with each other, the org tends to turn into a flame fest in a moments notice

that's true these forums have humbler members than the other... no doubt

i dont like when its down either but thats why im here and go to ceaserschariots forum...both are really good forums and a good alternative to the org

July 25th, 2004 8:25 AM Central time - maxima.org is still down ?

That's true, especially in 5thgen forums if you say ANYTHING about racing or street racing it's as though you said you commited some heinous crime or something. But there is a wealth of information on the Org, not too mention like many others have said you can post a question and get a response within minutes from 4-200 different people. It's awsome, and few communites/forums offer the wealth of information that you get as a member of the org. Minus the flamers and lack of search engine that functions it's an awesome place.

if the search feature worked at the org, it would be over the top. i remember when i used to ask question after question, and then I looked at the search box and gave it a shot. WOW ! I was blown away. you can sit there and read exactly what you are into or looking for at that moment for hours.

then sometime later the feature was disabled and me along with it. maybe it will be up again one day.

the maxima store is cool, and that old trader rating was a really neat feature. i will sell on the org but will not buy from a user that I do not know. which made the trader rating real cool for people you didnt know. they have a new setup but a little tougher to dig around

don't know what's up with the org. We were planning a mini meet here in diego on Wednesday but don't know if anyone will show because we were in the middle of a head count.

it's like losing a cell phone... what are you going to do without it?

I'm going to post a thread stating to use this forum as a backup in case the ORG goes down, atleast my meet yesterday was ok, I just hope my YPipe deal goes ok

Sounds like a good idea, hope your y-pipe deal goes down ok as well

well the site has an update now.. they say it's a db problem, not an upgrade etc. God I'm really impatient as I just bought my max and need to intake as much info as I can.. !

I like maxima.org!

1) Knowledgeable people.
2) Quick answers to most questions.
3) I have far more problems with the server down (or busy) here than there.
4) Forums are specific to each gen, rather than a broad "maxima" forum.

I have found answers to many questions by following threads there and being willing to do a little research. Many times this has saved me from having to ask the same question, which is what I've seen generates most of the the "flame fests" - either a) someone asking the same question for the 1000th time, or b) someone trying to "rice out" their maxima which is unspeakable to a true maxima afficianado. ;o)

I miss maxima.org and wish them the best in getting the site back up and running.

I should add, I only read the 3rd gen forums, so can't speak to the people that post in the other forums. But I've found the 3rd gen'rs to be mostly cordial and tolerant of newbies.

As long as the org is around, I'll haunt it. There's so much knowledge and information there. The How-Tos alone are priceless!

~THT

i mainly stay in 4th gen and post in general too, i wonder which generation group is filled with the most haters? i never thought much about 3rd gen'ers or 5th gen peeps having different attitudes. or is it in every forum.

i dont see much of that kinda stuff going on here though, not that i recall, auto maxima forum is cool like that.

Hey Ceasars Chariot - nice wheels! :thumbsup:

Don't intend to hijack this thread but what are they?

OK, yeah we all know the org has it's problems, but now that we have a new admin, maybe things will pick back up. Sprint seems to be on top of things as far as the feedback/suggestions go. I guess time will tell (when it finally comes back online)

95maxsewv:
Try and get in touch with SprintMax after the org comes back up. He is the new Admin and seems to be a realy good guy. I'm not saying Kev and Jane (current admins) aren't good people, they just have alot of personal issues they are dealing with on top of running the org.

turk66460:
you don't need to make a donation to join. out of the 33,000+ members on the org, less than 200 are donating members. the errors with joining stems from the fact that the admins don't have enough time to contribute to the org. that's why they've taken on a 3rd admin, SprintMax, to help them with the workload. Also, the org is currently not even taking donations, since it takes time for the admins to process the donations and change the user status (time which again, they don't have). SprintMax is currently working on a way to automate the donation process.

Ceasar:
the search is disabled because of the load on the server. The server does not have enough processing power for handling multiple search requests on top of it's regular load. it's too resource intensive. I prsonally think they should move to a new hosting company since this one seems to be rather poor in keeping the server running smoothly.

Also, i'm sure it doesn't help that the org is still running a beta release of vbulletin 3 (vb went "gold" back in march and is currently on release 3.0.3). Sprint assures me that they will be upgrading to a gold release of VB soon. Maybe they'll even do that during the current downtime.

As for the trader ratings, yes that was a cool feature, but it was only available in version 2.x of vb. Jelsoft removed it from the features when they began developing 3.0. As of 3.0 going gold, i haven't seen any mention of returning the feature.

I've been a member for almost 4 years. I have a maxima.org sticker on my car.
They suck now. I haven't been able to use the search feature, etc. It was a good site, but they can't run it. It's frankly useless without the search.
If I have a problem, and I want to see a thread about it, I am not going to go through pages and pages of threads. Which is why I am here.

So...what's up with this forum???

Am I the only one that gets "the server is too busy at the moment" messages??? Then it loses whatever I was typing at the moment.

This happens about every 5th post or so, sometimes more often than that.

There are more people joining everyday and Igor, the engineer and inventor of these forums, had been and still is, I believe, trying to expand these forums. Sometimes the forums just become swamped. This place is much bigger than the .org and is not just a Maxima forum. This place should be a wealth of knowledge in a littlw while if all you Maxanatics keep coming over here.
