This Forum is totally FREE with registration.

We now have a new theme. New links are being added daily.
We currently have 650 registered members.

Our membership has grown to 704 members. New links have been added to the Troubleshooting section. The Forum is still FREE but you will need to register to view all of the Forum Categories.

After 4 successful years of running this free forum and 734 members later, it is with sad regret that I will be closing down the forum. Effective 10/31/2014, this forum will cease to exist. It is a possibility that i will re-open under a different forum provider, with the changes being made at Formation which are affecting us forum admins and our members, i can't see continuing with the forum and from provider. Thank you to all, that helped me throughout the last 4 years on this forum.

Since once again, Forumotion messed me up, by not redirecting my forum to the original IP.
I will be closing down my Forum today instead if 10/31/14. Words cannot express my disappoint with Formation, and the changes being made that affect all us Forum owners.
Beginning with the removal of PayPal and given us two OUT OF COUNTRY companies to handle the purchase of credits. (Both of which i do not trust) then the changes to the Datacenter, which screwed up a lot of our forums. But the last straw was when i couldn't get to my own forum. Since i could not renew my domain, i get this pretty message:



Even clicking on the original URL bring you back to this message. Thanks Formation, for killing 1 more forum.

Can you not use this link - http://gokartbazaar.forumotion.com/ ?

Seems like a serious error.....

Well I don't think that is the point, the point is he's lost his domain. The Datacentre merge is has caused countless issues, some which have effected his forum and now we have a payment service that's out of country and no one has heard of and quite frankly no one trusts. I don't think I'd take solace in the fact that I lost my domain name and now can get into my forum via the original URL.

I have to agree with Blackscorpion

I tried it and i was looped back to that page. even after clearing the cache and restarting my computer. This morning i tried again and it magically worked.

Derri, thank you for understanding my dilemma.

Anyways take care guys.

Finally, a staff member who understands and actually cares.

I am sorry about the problems you've been having BlackScorpion.. If there was something I could do to help you, I would have...

We understand and care, however as I've said before, we cannot do anything to alleviate the situation. We are volunteers that moderate and manage the support forum. We do not have the power to restore Paypal or make major decisions for Forumotion.

The current payment methods aren't working for some Admins, we know that. We know that there is another payment method being worked on, however, we do not know if it will appeal to the current Admins, or will cause the same issues as Hipay. Until then, the only thing that those Admins can do is wait and watch their forums lose the features they've paid for...that's not ideal and is why some have considered leaving Forumotion. I understand that losing something you've paid for and worked hard on is frustrating, especially when you cannot do anything about it. That is all I have to say, I apologize that I am not able help you.

As this is originally a promotion topic, I would ask that there be no more discussion on this topic, but only of BlackScorpion's forum.

BlackScorpion, will you be keeping your promotion topic ? I'm sure you already know, but you can contact a Manager if you have second thoughts..

I wish you luck with your future endeavors..

To all the staff, I know you guys are only volunteers, remember i was once, one of you.   Until Forumotion disrespected us, by deleting the veterans groups without even asking our input. This was a slap in the face and kick in the rear to us active and prior staff, who worked to make this place what it was. They refuse to promote Base or Jophy to administrator, when Sanket resigned, yet they kept Buttercup in charge (Not sure if she is a volunteer or paid admin). In the sense cutting the horses head by doing so. We all know that Jophy and Base are more than capable of running this forum with their time and experience. As you all can see little by little they are killing Formation, which is a sad fact as this was once a great place to come for help and hangout. This not an attack on the Staff as they can only do so much, I blame the higher ups, who's decision are slowly and steadily killing Forumotion.

I appreciate all the help you guys have provided me and wish you all the best.  As I had no alternative but to close down my server, this promotional topic can be closed or what ever you guys do with it.

Thank you all for volunteering your free time and effort .
