Title: NEW FORUMS Post by: TX-Rahman on January 11, 2009, 02:38:42 am If you're seeing this it means that you have made it to our new forums! I still have lots of work to do on the main page interface and all and the look of these new forums. It'll be a work in progress for a while but this will eventually help us to whip TX back into shape.
New registrations will be opening back up shortly. I just need to install the security that prevents all those damn'd bots from signing up! :D Title: Re: NEW FORUMS Post by: TX-EcoDragon on January 11, 2009, 09:56:01 pm WOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!

Anyway it looks like someone registered and like the site. TX-Hotsauce is my buddy Roger who I fly with at the virtual airline. ;)And I can SEARCH now!!! Wooooooot^2!!!!!!!! Yeah finally!! Man I worked on this thing for about 10 hours total so far. Was a complete pain to get the data from an access database in to the usable format that we have now. Also, when I went to bed this morning the old site was still up but when I woke up it had an error... I had planned to leave the original site up just for the mainpage until I got the new main page squared away but that didn't work out :P. So...This forum will serve as the website while I work on the main page and all. The look of this forum will likely change as well when the time comes... I will customize the top and probably change some colors. We're at least on our way now... ;) Title: Re: NEW FORUMS Post by: TX-Gunslinger on January 11, 2009, 11:46:38 pm OMG!!!!!!! Eco sent me a PM a little while ago with just a link back here!
All day, I have not been able to get to the forums and suspected Rah! I was right! Brother Rahman - greatest and sincerest thanks and congratulations for doing this!!!!!!!!!! Your my hero man! This is really fast!!!! SEARCHING!!! S~ S~ S~ Gunny Title: Re: NEW FORUMS Post by: TX-CUDA on January 13, 2009, 12:17:42 am I thought I was on the wrong Site until I checked out this thread! Glad to see everything is still up and running.!
Title: Re: NEW FORUMS Post by: TX-Kingsnake on January 13, 2009, 06:38:57 am I invited Trav and Scorpion to the teamspeak channel tonight - eek its 3:30am now. Raging good time in black shark. Once we are ready, we can add some new members. What do you think?
Title: Re: NEW FORUMS Post by: TX-Rahman on January 13, 2009, 08:00:09 am They can sign up anytime. I have the system set for admin approval until I get the security set... ;)

Either way, I might be interested if you guys want a crusty, old, grisled, cranky geezer that can barely get his bird in the air. I DID graduate from UT though... ;D Title: Re: NEW FORUMS Post by: GOZR on January 14, 2009, 05:06:21 pm Better looking :)

I DID graduate from UT though... ;D I'm sure I speak for all of us in that we'd take you in a heartbeat TB - and to boot - make sure that "Bevo" was painted on your TX hanger space. BTW - Wasn't it nice to see the Gators bitch-slap the Okies? Travesty in Bevoland. S~ Gunny Title: Re: NEW FORUMS Post by: TX-Thunderbolt on January 14, 2009, 09:30:26 pm Travesty? I certainly think so, but as most know, being a Longhorn comes with the requirement to root against the Sooners. The best explanation I saw was a student poster that said "If I thought 35>45 I'd have gone to OU".
Regarding official TX membership...I haven't been officially afilliated with a squad since the old greatergreen =TgD= days and that fairly fizzled once sammie took the server down. TX is honestly the only squad I'd consider for membership as you guys display the professionalism, skill and integrity I'd be willing to add my name to. I thought for a long time about looking for an official squad membership, but decided then to simply fly AS A GUN-FOR-HIRE so to speak. At this point, I really am interested though it may still be some time before I can be as active as I once was. Either way, I'd still put my best foot forward if it all works out. Title: Re: NEW FORUMS Post by: TX-EcoDragon on January 14, 2009, 09:58:09 pm Well heck TB - like Gunny said, we'd be happy to have you!
TX has gone through some changes over the years, but the core values are the same - having a group of friends that are respectful and friendly pilots who value team play. Everything else is gravy. Come as you are, fly what you want, in whatever sim you want, and when you can, etc. Certainly many of us are busy - but we are there when we need each other. Recruiting some new blood would be great since most of us are busy with real life, and it would be great to be able to better utilize our data center server within IL-2 etc, but we are certainly not going to impose time requirements on members - especially when it's a veteran guy that we know! I for one think TX has a lot of history within IL-2 and that even if it's just a group of grizzled old IL-2 Veterans then so be it! ;D Title: Re: NEW FORUMS Post by: TX-Kingsnake on January 14, 2009, 11:32:07 pm I think it is a great idea TB. You know us and we like flying with you. You go way back with Gunny and Eco.
Title: Re: NEW FORUMS Post by: TX-CUDA on January 15, 2009, 05:01:25 pm Someone shoot me the TX TS Info please.
Title: Re: NEW FORUMS Post by: TX-EcoDragon on January 15, 2009, 05:34:43 pm Hey Cuda, we are only using our Public TS channel for the time being, but all things TX are on the same ip from our data center server. So you can find our ftp at ftp://69.56.198.2/ and our TeamSpeak server at 69.56.198.2/
P.S. I removed your email address from the post above to hopefully spare you from an onslaught of spam! However you can update your profile on this forum software to that email addy and people can still email you, but it's a lot harder for the spam bots to do it that way. Actually, I see that you already have done that! Title: Re: NEW FORUMS Post by: TX-Thunderbolt on January 15, 2009, 10:23:19 pm LOL...Cuda, is that avatar one of those Blue Angels pics in one of those faux cockpitsthey keep at airshows? ;D
Title: Re: NEW FORUMS Post by: TX-EcoDragon on January 15, 2009, 10:43:04 pm I gotta get some dinner - so I'll be late getting on coms tonight. . .maybe another hour!
Wait TB, you didn't know that TX-CUDA was the only Blue Angel pilot ever to lead the team for 8 years straight (instead of the usual 2) he's that good!!!!!!!! :P Title: Re: NEW FORUMS Post by: TX-CUDA on January 18, 2009, 05:11:30 am LOL...Cuda, is that avatar one of those Blue Angels pics in one of those faux cockpitsthey keep at airshows? ;D Yep it is. As a matter of fact there were several of we TX members that did that....I think Rahman and Zen had one made as well at the Houston Airshow the first time I hooked up with them quite a few years ago waay waay back in teh day. Good Eye!! |
