Has the other site gone down? I gets a full page of "site failure"

Why even go there? Everything you need is right here.
Out of curiosity why are guys still going over there?

Hahhhaha!

PMs. I suspect others go over there for sales threads.

I'm not posting there anymore, but I'm checking for updates on subjects I've been involved in there, and for PM's.

Is there an app we can use for this site to make it mobile friendly?

We're working on it. It's been a long and frustrating ordeal with the company that makes the software for this site and other forums (vBulletin). We spent some coin on a mobile app through them but there's a programming error on their side and it's taking forever for them to fix it. The latest update I have came late today--someone is going to speak personally with a developer on our behalf.

I'm hoping it won't be much longer.

Is vBulletin who did the app for the other site? That's the only bulletin app I've ever seen actually work.

Cool...thanks Chris. I primarily use the site via iPhone so hopefully that can get it sorted. This defendersource stuff is getting old.

Because there is an active community, there are years of good tech archives, and many of us don't care about the drama of new owners or different mod or who sold the site to whom.

I still have a bad taste from the initial purge of new members who did not meet the liking of the mods here.

Wow.

I've never seen an AG site go down that hard. Betting that they corrupted the database. Wonder if all is lost. Being a weekend, nothing will happen until next week.

Yeah I do go there. Still. it all comes down to having the app or mobile version.

At the moment, we have 470 members here and rising.
"Over there" are 13,224 members, so as people join here and leave over there, at some point, there will be as many or more members here.
Then very few people will use the other site and the posting will dwindle down to almost nothing.
It will take a little time, but this site is better and gaining in popularity as more and more people migrate over to this site.

Since "the founding fathers" here are Land Rover owners and keep all our details private and the other site is gathering and selling all the information they collect on each user, it is a no-brainer to use this site.

A warm welcome to all you new "old" members.

I know many people over there that only use the app so once there's one for this site you'll probably get more traffic here.

In addition, it may come down to Marketing. Many new-comers will not understand what NAS-ROW means and that it even pertains to Defenders. They know Defender and the other site has "Defender" in their name.

Yes that's what brings in all the new members.
"NAS-ROW-Defenders" would bring in factorial hits compared to NAS-ROW.

Are you guys doing a DDOS on it? Strong. Using the internet of things against the competition. I like it.

Site works fine on my Samsung galaxy....

Chris, Thanks for taking this on. This will be a very worthwhile endeavor in the end. I for one will use it often. What's a good paypal for us to send some cash to help offset your costs? I honestly have no idea what scale of money we're talking about but I/we certainly appreciate what you and your team are doing.

"NAS-ROW-Defenders" or "NAS-ROW-Land-RoverDefender" would bring in factorial hits as well compared to NAS-ROW.
