Yes again - believe me were all getting tired of it and it is costing Clio16valver alot in time, money and popularity.
Here is the 'scoop', basically, we have blew Zen's servers yet again. When we 1st set up with Zen it was MORE than what we needed, quick, large and had everything we needed. I got the biggest package thinking noway will we EVER exceed that. Well, we did and were doing it alot recently it seems. I have spent hours on the phone tonight to them and thankfully it will be fixed by lunch time tomorrow. But this wont fix our problem in the long run, were still to big for Zen's servers.
Why? Because Zen internet provide SHARED server space, meaning we are probably on a server somewhere in Rochdale with another 100 - 10,000 websites, with them in mind, Clio16valver cant fully stretch its legs, so what do we need.....our own server! A DEDICATED server.
So thats what were gonna do - get a dedicated server, ive been in talks with a few companies but one is sticking out to be fantastic at the moment, so for now and the next month were sticking with Zen, after that it is dedicated space baby and no more will we crash
Please let me take this time to thank EVERYONE for their patience. If you have any ideas on what else is possible, please contact me

Ohhh yes, even though phpbb3 has been out since 2007 now we are only just upgrading. This was a BIG step for Clio16valver as were all a bunch of old men when it comes to this sort of thing and phpbb2 has served us well for a long time (since our orginal launch) that we thought " why should we change ".
But the internet is moving and so is this site! Phpbb3 offers SO much more for our users and its admin that we couldnt turn it down anymore, we had to upgrade! We hope you like the new forum and remember, if you find any problems - it wasnt us!

Yet again Clio16valver attended FCS and yet again we exceeded our previous years numbers! We went to our 1st FCS in 2007 with a total of 19 cars and we were uber proud to have that, in 2008 we rocked out a massive 47 cars and that was boyond epic. We were pulling in the crowds, Clio16valver users shot up in stats and we had HUGE amount of press from it!
But hey, thats old news, FCS 2009 we smashed out a record breaking 59 Clio16valvers and we couldnt of hoped for a better turn out. Each person on the stand was proud to be a part of it and we want to THANK EVERYONE who attended it with us and put your car on our lovely stand! Thanks to Mark Dow at FCS and everyone else involved - bring on 2010 and even bigger numbers! (for pics and vids see the media section in the forum)
