4th Anniversary

Posted by BigKev On 2010/4/8 15:30:05

Just a quick note to say thank you to everyone that has contributed to the website as we come up on our 4th Anniversary. Amazing how time flies!


Just as point of reference to how much the website has grown:

-We are on the ragged edge of out growing our current web server plan space-wise. Again.

-Current all the content available for download exceeds what will fit on a DVD. So now it has to go on two of them.

-We are getting close to having 10,000 pics in the Photo Archive

-We have 2020 active users (folks who have logged in within the last 6 months)

-We have 610 Packards in the Registry under Mal's dedicated care-taking

-Over 48000 forum posts on various Packard (and non Packard) related topics.

So big to everyone that has made this possible! Also special thanks to everyone that has donated content, time, and funds to website! Without all you folks the website wouldn't be where it is today.

Once I figure out the current server situation, (I have a feeling my wife and my credit card bill will not be happy with me soon) then I plan on making some updates and improvements to the website. On the short list is upgrading the core website software. Even thought I have made many tweaks and changes to the core, the actual software I use is about 2 years behind in updates. So I need to bring it current to be able to add some new features. Once that is done, and all my tweaks merged back in, then I plan on adding a Packard Wiki here to the website. Stay tuned for more info on that. I also plan on redesigning the Registry to make it a bit more visually appealing. This will not affect the data in the Registry, just how it is displayed.

So lots of new stuff coming folks!
