Pro-Touring.com is moving again.

**Larry Callahan** · 07-29-2005

The move to our own dedicated server is finally in motion. With over 3k in registered members and I believe over 10k in lurkers it is time to move again. We are unable to obtain more hard drive space and there are no more spots to add ram. As the day approaches I will let everyone know to wrap up any business that may need to be taken care of since the site may be down for 3-5 days during the switch over.

The site has grown a lot in the last year and I have a feeling it's going to continue to grow at an even faster pace. The hard drive on our new server will be 20 times larger then the one we have now and and when 150 people or more are on the site at one time it won't slow down because we will have double the ram. Once our new site and car gallery is done we will need the extra space and bandwidth for all the new content that is being collected and written.

Once again I want to thank everyone for your support and thanks again to all the moderators and of course Ralph. We could not do it without everyone's help.

I can't wait to see how we have grown a year from now. Who knows, maybe we will build a car or start our own yearly competition. Hmmmmm??????

:icon996: you should be proud, Larry. It's a testament to how great your site is. CHEERS!

**ViperBlue68** · 07-29-2005

and Congrats on the success of the site

**nancejd** · 07-29-2005

I just hope the new site has the secret room for the 1K posters! I'll get there eventually.

**Camaro_Kyle** · 07-29-2005

I have been a lurker for about a year, trying to help when I can, but mostly just to see the progress and builds of all of the awesome cars here. I gotta say, this is one of my favorite sites I have ever been to. Once you visit, you get hooked. I just wish I had the funds and skill to do some of the stuff that other guys are doing to their cars. And a "Pro-Touring" car would be freakin' awesome! The ultimate pro-touring machine utilizing the best components in the industry. Man, that would be so cool.

That's awesome, Larry! :icon996: I know the new site will be awsome. But for those of us who are truly addicted........what will we do for 3-5 days?!?!?

I just gotta have my fix!

I'll second that. Too bad you could not do this while I was out of town this past week-LOL
Seriously, I am glad to see you making the step, just in time too. I feel you have only scratched the surface. I guess I will have more time to work on the car instead of talking about it huh?

**race-rodz-inc** · 07-30-2005

so who wants to go to vegas for 3-5 days. kinda like a pre-sema party.

**zbugger** · 07-29-2005

3-5 days? Damn... I may not last that long!!! I'll be the one in the straight jacket when you come back.

**ProdigyCustoms** · 07-30-2005

I'd rather give up sex for 3 to 5 days! but I guess we gotta do what we gotta do.

**Steve68** · 07-30-2005

3-5 days, I was going nuts when it was down for a weekend, do it this weekend when I'm in the desert not near a computer!!!

Congrats Larry, Steve

**rocketrod** · 07-30-2005

I would rather pull all of my own teeth out with a pair of pliers than have this site down for 3-5 days. The only upside I can see is I might ACTUALLY work on my car if the site is down.

Congrats Larry & Steve

**steemin** · 07-30-2005

Larry,
Great job on the site.
It is always the 1st place that I go to when I sit down at the computer.
You guys sure have helped me a bunch!
My favotite part is clicking on "new posts"
and seeing multiple pages pop up.
(I know I need to get a life...)
Congratulations on the growth!
Scott

**68BNUT** · 07-30-2005

Just let us know, maybe ill plan a vacation to some third world country so I wouldnt be able to get on here anyway. Thats probably the only thing that would keep me off of here for 3-5 days!!

**MrQuick** · 07-31-2005

ahh 3-5 days, oh well I guess its a good time to get that well deserved labotomy.
Wow so soon? I remember that last one was like yesterday....the big switch not the small operation. LOL.
Congrates Larry, hey, are we going to able to fit everyone in the Greek? DIBS!

**camarosrlyf** · 07-31-2005

Larry, congrats on the growth and a huge THANKS for a great site.

**Streetking** · 08-04-2005

Larry, I'm pissed at you! Because of you and your site, I have spent way too much $ and can't sleep at night because of thinking about "upgrades"..

Thanks for the great site..
