New looking site colors match my eyes.

[OLD]’s hosting plan is due to expire on 6/8/08. Our current host, IPOWER is, at their best unreliable, as such we will not be renewing with them.

What does this all mean? Well for one the forums are now locked and will stay locked, until the site is relocated and back in business. During this process it is highly possible we could also loose the domain name again. Lets hope this won’t happen, this time around. If it does a NEW domain name will be registered at a service that will give us total control from this point on. Members of [OLD] can get the new name by contacting [OLD]Rhino or [OLD]Tango. During the transition the site will most likely go down for a period of time.

We hope to keep the transition process as short and simple as possible. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause to our Members and Visitors.

Many of you have already noticed, that the [OLD]Clan site is back up and running, again, after being down, again, for over a month.  Although this could change in an instant without notice.

Over the last two months the [OLD]Clan site has only been up and working, for about a week near the end of February.  That's when Ipower informed us they had resolved the problems with the site and just before it went down again on February 28th.  This time it didn't just go down but the content was completely lost.  Which represents the second time since October of 2007, [OLD]Clan had to be rebuilt from backups and the third time the site has been down for an extended period of time.

You probably also noticed that connecting to [OLD]Clan and our Forums is actually painful and requires one to have an extreme tolerance for the passage of time.  A support ticket was sent concerning this very problem, which we can expect to be resolved just prior to the next mass extinction.

This is the New and Improved Ipower Platform that we have all heard so much about.  All this from a company that advertises top quality Tech Support and a 99 Percent up time.  They must be referring to Ipower.com itself and not to their valued customers.

It's safe to say that we are in the process of searching out a new home for [OLD]Clan to reside.

Monkeytown, Alabama– November 27, 2005–OLD Enterprises Inc. today announced that it has signed a letter of intent to merge with privately held Texas based Q&E Sports & Entertainment, Inc. (”Q&E” or the “Company”). Following due diligence, the execution of a definitive merger agreement, and shareholder and regulatory approval of the proposed transaction. Through a merger structure whereby Q&E Sports & Entertainment will become incorporated under the OLD trademark and have access to all of the holdings of the parent company. The deal according to insiders is worth an estimated 321.4 million dollars and increases share values $2.89 to a market value of $28.39 as of trading today. A spokesperson for OLD says they are elated at the merge since it gives them some quality people in which to build on for the future. OLD has always been financially profitable due to its longevity and diversity of its portfolio what it was lacking was long term goals. Having worked with Q&E before we felt we had common goals and there has always been a close relationship so it was just a question of timing. This merger should stir the industry up considerable so I am sure our competition will be keeping an eye out for us in the future.
