• Ciao Guest - You’ve landed at the ultimate Guzzi site. NEW FORUM REGISTRATIONS REQUIRE EMAIL ACTIVATION - CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER - Use the CONTACT above if you need help. New to the forum? For all new members, we require ONE post in the Introductions section at the bottom, in order to post in most of the other sections.

  • There is ZERO tolerance on personal attacks and ANY HYPERLINKS to PRODUCT(S) or other competing website(s), including personal pages, social media or other Forums. This ALSO INCLUDES ECU DIAGnostic software, questions and mapping. We work very hard to offer commercially supported products and to keep info relevant here. First offense is a note, second is a warning, third time will get you banned from the site. We don't have the time to chase repeat (and ignorant) offenders. This is NOT a social media platform; It's an ad-free, privately funded website, in small help with user donations. Be sure to see the GTM STORE link above; ALL product purchases help support the site, or you can upgrade your Forum profile or DONATE via the link above.
  • Be sure to see the GTM STORE link also above for our 700+ product inventory, including OEM parts and many of our 100% Made-in-SoCal-USA GTM products and engine kits. In SoCal? Click the SERVICE tab above for the best in service, tires, tuning and installation of our products or custom work, and don't miss our GT MotoCycles® (not) art on the BUILDS tab above. WE'RE HERE ONLINE ONLY - NO PHONE CALLS MADE OR RECEIVED - DO NOT EMAIL AND ASK QUESTIONS OR ASK TO CALL YOU.
  • Like the new V100, GuzziTech is full throttle into the future! We're now running on an all-new server and we've updated our Forum software. The visual differences are obvious, but hopefully you'll notice the super-fast speed. If you notice any glitches or have any issues, please post on the Site Support section at the bottom. If you haven't yet, please upgrade your account which is covered in the Site Support section or via the DONATE tab above, which gives you full site access including the DOWNLOADS section. We really appreciate every $ and your support to keep this site ad-free. Create an account, sign in, upgrade your account, and enjoy. See you on the road in 2024.

Wildguzzi down again

***ATTENTION***
11-14-2011
THE DISCUSSION BOARD IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE DUE TO EXTREME USE OF SERVER SYSTEM RESOURCES. It has become obvious that a system upgrade is in order. I am currently checking into alternative hosting methods.

The sheer costs of Dedicated server hosting and premier support is becoming impossible to justify for a free discussion board.

I have no current Estimated Time of Availability.
Please check back often.

Thanks, Luap McKeever

I copy and paste Luap's message from the main page of Wildguzzi.

This is unfortunate. In Chrome, I didn't get the message that was posted. Just check with Firefox and it showed up. I wonder what the difference is...
 
Same here. In Chrome and in Firefox I get

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /forum/ on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

That's because I'm going to http://www.wildguzzi.com/forum ... as opposed to wildguzzi.com and then selecting Discussion.

Thanks for the update, Phang.
 
Found this just now. Luap is asking for donations, hopes to be back by Saturday. I donated once this year, and was ready to pitch in again, but the PayPal link is broken for now.

***UPDATE***

11-15-2011



A new server is being built at this time to better accommodate the growth we have seen.



I hope to have it online by 11-19-11. The new server is not free, nor cheap. It should serve us well way into the future.



Donations are appreciated to help with expenses.
Donations via Paypal (FREE, quick, and simple. You do NOT have to register).

The server costs roughly $200 per month to maintain. Without donations, it could vanish indefinitely. As always...thanks for your support and patience during this time of expansion.

Bandwidth costs money, and free sites are too often taken for granted. Remember that as you visit/post here. No site owners want to move to a "paid to view" site, but as you grow it is inevitable without proper support... i.e., donations, advertising, etc.

PayPal donation button is always at the top of the screen here too.

Appreciate (greatly) what little support we get from a small few.
 
Just chipped in with small donations for both sites. I'm a relatively new convert to the cult of Guzzi, but with my dealer getting ready to go out of business, I'm willing to do all I can to keep this helpful community alive to answer all the newbie questions I'll be coming up with in the near future. :D
 
...and it's down yet again!

WG was back up over the weekend, but I can't get onto it tonight...

Please, someone with more IT experience than me tell me why "going down" is an ongoing issue with some sites, but never an issue with others?

I participate in several online forums, and some of them are never down.

I really don't understand this.
 
I may be a nerd, but not an IT geek, so I haven't a clue. :laugh:

On the short piece, w/g works for me; has since the latest "crash" was fixed.

As for the longer-term tech problem, I thought Luap explained that at some length when he came back "on the air." Suspect won't see many problems now for at least another year.

So Bill,

You're able to get on WG this afternoon/evening?

I'm getting some error message about the server being down...

"Database Error: MySQL server has gone away
