• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

With due respect to Todd&Cat ----- they have a total of 48 posts out here - and I don't see any posts with 'how to' pictures or videos like many of us have done ---- yet you want to do 60 minutes a week about the Spyder?

Maybe it's supposed to be geared toward really new owners and just basic Spyder stuff-- but what's that take-- 60 min?

Just not sure this is being well thought out.

Seems to me that making 'how to' videos instead of a 'show' might be a better way to go--- then you can share them out here as well as on your 'spyder tv' show ---- assuming Lamont wants them here and sees value in them...

Just some food for thought.

Good luck with things.......
 
This is getting verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry interrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrresting. I'm not ready for my usual full page yet. :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

The big issue so far--is you should not be using someone elses name to promote your project unless you have legal permission to do so. That implies Lamont's endorsement of your TV show. That is pretty scarry if he is not able to exercise control over things with may not be good.

I do note that he has allowed you to post your comments--even though the two of you are not in agreement. The answers above also seem to be on both sides of the fence.
 
Todd&Cat,
Good luck with this project and I hope that you succeed. Lamont's concerns about the name of the show hold some validity... He has worked very hard to build a successful site and community here. If you were to use the name "Spyderlover" and then (Heaven Forbid!!:shocked:) not put out a product that was up the the standards that he has put forth here, it might damage the reputation of this site . Would he have any recourse or control?? Just my penny's worth...
I really do hope that you succeed in your endeavor and I'll watch if I can...
 
IT'S IN THE CAN

After our team reviewed all the post about this future show and thinking about all the hours we spent making the 31 HD videos, the two sets for the shows and all the large scale individual schematics of all the electrical systems and the mapping of the Can-bus signals and colored photos which was the culmination of 7 months work we came to the mutual conclusion and decision time to put this project in the can and direct our resources and energies in a new direction. We all agree that we had fun and learned a lot and bear no ill will. From Sam, Charles, Barbara, Catherine and myself we would like to wish you safe riding so get out their and ride those Spyders and be SAFE!


It's in the can Max
 
Why is everyone jumping so ugly on Todd & Cat.

Lamont made a very valid point about the site name and Todd&Cat seem to have accepted the criticism and changed the name of their enterprise.

Now instead of TWO sites happily promoting the Spyder we have acrimony between both parties.

Are any of you guys in Congress??
