SpeedZone: What's happening to it with TNv4?

I've noted that TNJobs will be going away when we release the new site, but I haven't made much mention of SpeedZone as of late.

SpeedZone, our RCT/NoLimits file showcase, has had a history dating back to 2001, when it was completely in the forums. We then moved to a version 2.0, designed and built by Davin Pavlas, which was a complete bust (anyone who remembers that... kudos to you). Version 3.0 of SpeedZone came out when we still had version 2.0 of ThrillNetwork (which was around...

More changes, more gripes by me...

We will be doing some maintenance over the weekend (11/14-11/16), so at times, there may be some momentary downtime. We need to do some maintenance to vBulletin, as well as some other parts of the site.

Also, some people may have noticed this thread...

Further notes on the changes...

I'm sitting here, listening to Metallica's "The Day That Never Comes" (from their new Death Magnetic album) and drinking Yuengling...

On Saturday, you're going to notice a few merged forums, one disappearing forum, and one new forum. Along with that, you'll notice a few other changes. Here are those changes...

The forum URLs are different all of the sudden?

Posted 06-14-2008 at 01:54 AM by Steven (That jerk admin, or The inner workings of TN)

We added new software that makes them easier for Google and Yahoo to crawl them and gather information. If you noticed, there were some times when you couldn't get to your favorite forum or thread, and getting redirected back to thrillnetwork.com's hompage.

We worked out the kinks with that part. Now, we are going to work on the other features, such as your own URL. That will be more complicated to implement, and will take some time, and along with that, more chances for there to...
