Old RCTouring Email Gone
08/29/01 1:00 AM CST by futureal
The reports have filtered in over the last few days that the old
RCTouring.com email service has indeed been disabled, and thus our
front-page link to it has been removed.
Update: I have posted info about RCTech.net email addresses. They
are indeed live and ready to go! Read this thread in the forums for more
information.
I would also like to post one final reminder that I WAS NOT the owner
or webmaster for RCTouring, and thus, PLEASE stop sending me hate mail
over its demise. If anybody still thinks I screwed them over, well,
I hope that RCTech.net can fill the gaping hole in your life. Thanks!
Members are Riding

The Members Rides area is now online and
fully operational. Check it out when you have a chance, and
if you feel like submitting something to R/C Tech, follow the
links on the page. More web goodies coming tomorrow...
Chat the night away...

First, let me say thank you to all of the people that have come
together to make RCTech.net a success so quickly. Keep spreading
the word, and things can only get better from here.
Second, I would like to take this opportunity to say goodbye to
one of our long-time Admins from RCtouring, pc9840. He is embarking
upon a 5-year tour of duty in the US Navy. Wish him luck, and
hopefully he'll stop in to say hi here and there.
And finally, it's something you've waited for since the early days
of RCtouring: Live Chat is here! Click the link on your
left to start the Java applet, and you're all set. It might take a
little getting used to, but once you figure it out it's a very good
(and stable) chat applet. Enjoy!
Forums up and running!

Last night the install of vBulletin was a success and it appears
that word is already spreading about the new site, as many
regulars from the old site are making appearances. The forums
still need some major tweaking, but they are operational, which
is better than nothing.
More updates will be coming soon... stay tuned!
Welcome to RCTech.net
08/19/01 1:00 AM CST by futureal
Welcome to our new site!
As many of you may know, our long-time forum community over
at RCtouring.com recently went down. While this is not meant
to be direct replacement for Dan's site, it is our goal to
provide a "familiar place" for those users who feel a little
displaced by the loss of the RCtouring forums.
Our plan is simple: to provide you with the most consistent
and unbiased R/C Vehicles Forum on the net, as well as moderated
For Sale/Trade forums, timely product news and reviews, live
chat, and more. Obviously these goals will not all be realized
from the get-go, but with your help, they are easily within our
grasp.
Though our forums will initially be small, we encourage you to
register and participate. All Private Clubs and Manufacturers'
Forums from the old RCtouring will be welcomed here with open
arms, and all Moderators will be welcomed back to their former
posts, if they will do us the honor.
Thanks again for visiting us!
