• 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.

USER NAMES/HANDLES - What does yours mean? Where did it come from?

It is not a statement of any kind. First time I registered on a forum years ago I wanted to use a name that had meaning to me but I kept getting "not available" or a suggestion with a bunch of numbers after it. I thought about this and figured if I picked a rarely uttered name and one that was distasteful to the majority of people it would always be available. I was right, and since then it is the user name I use everywhere.

David P. (Pat) Lewis, Sandra K. (Sandi) Lewis = Pandy. Mostly b/c you seldom see one w/o the other.

Sophie is 12 years old next month. She still acts like a one year old puppy.

But alas, I may need to change my handle soon. Sophie has lymphoma. We are treating her with prednisone. They said that chemo wont be any guarentee or may not extend any life much more anyway.QUOTE]

Gah. My name is really stupid, I know; I mean, everybody and their brother is a 'spyder-something' around here. You can blame it all on my kid sister. :shemademe_smilie: She has called me 'Duck' all her life. Really long, involved explanation starring my warped family for that nickname, but... anyway, I picked something that she would easily recognize when she came to the forum (after 8 months, she finally made her FIRST post yesterday!). She said I took to the bike like a duck to a Spyder... yeah, we're all weird. She's fond of singing 'SpyderDuck' to the Spiderman theme song, too.

You know, you can come up with a lot of interesting lyrics that rhyme with duck... ;)

Because that was the name of my last motorcycle (which I just totaled!)
:gaah:But that's GOOD NEWS now, because it's time to go to 3 wheels anyway. :yes:

Sorry to hear about the accident and hope you're OK, but glad to hear you're going to 3 wheels. Hopefully a new Spyder.
 
Don't remember what names I tried when I found this site but it was already taken or rejected so I got lazy, I knew I wanted something with spyder or 3 in it so I just added my first name to spyder.
