EDIT - NOW COMPLETED Hi Guys, Just to let you know that there will be some downtime tonight for around 1-2 hours whilst I carry out some maintenance updates on the forum and server. Just to note when it does go down, it may not take as long as the time I put on the offline message so feel free to keep trying the site to see if we are back Marc

Hi All, I have just removed a member from our forums due to an incident that happened last night on the forum. This member was abused in a thread, albeit for a condesending comment he made however the point remains this is clearly against the rules. This said however it was decided to sort this for himself, posting messages on the forum, posting up various statuses Im sure many will have already seen and blatently argueing with myself via the messaging system. For this reason I would like to make a few points perfectly clear as I am way way way past annoyed as this has now been going on since midnight last night. Calling another member will…

So for the past week or so, we have had a new feature floating around in the site sponsors area which was a suggestion of Steph (foxfamily) for the forum. We now have our very own ventrilo servers. So what is it? Read below. Ventrilo Ventrilo allows you to talk to each other online. Not type, but literally talk. This means that we will be able to talk to each other across the oceans as we now have many members from many different countries. All you need is a mic and to download a piece of software to install on your computer Where to get it? You can get ventrilo from http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php . Just download for…

Wouldnt normally do this, but wanted to give a shout out to the company who we purchased all our hoodies from for the camping weekend. Was really impressed that there were not the usual low quality rubbish you tend to get when getting things printed. Instead the hoodies are actually very comfortable, the wording was some kind of fabric non of this plastic-like stuff you usually get. On top of this the company who has done these is owned by Nigel who (for those who dont know) owns the next biggest husky site to our own (sibespace), and gave us a good price for the quality of stuff that we recieved. Its nice to see sites of the same kind who can help each other o…

New Server

Hi Guys, Appologies for the downtime last night however as you know we have been experiencing a few issues over the past week or so on the site with in going down occasionally etc. The cause of this was lack of memory on the server for the tasks it was being asked to perform by our site. Therefore there was little choice but to move the site onto a completely dedicated server. Hopefully this should now once and for all sort out the issues. As with anything that gets upgraded, this obviously incurs extra cost to the running of the site and in this case has now pushed us near the $150 mark per month simply to keep the site running. I will say that this…

Hi Guys, My appologies for the downtime that we have had over night. The issue we had yesterday was due to a system failure which I thought was fully resolved once we had come back online. Unfortunatly it had screwed up the time zones on the server and I was unaware it had left everyone unable to post anything anywhere . All should be fixed now in any case.

Hi Peeps, Its me again with another "Oooo shiny" for the forum. As there seem to be a lot of competitions going on lately, we thought it would be a good idea if we could show who has won the awards within each of the users posts. For now I have only created 2 awards but more will be on the way over the weekend such as for the photoshop competition, quiz winners etc. Here are the awards you may see around the forum at present. Currently awarded to our current winners as appropriate. As well as appearing in the post areas of the user, they will also appear under the users profile in a new awards tab that has been added. Enjo…

Hi All, I would like to welcome Rita's (OLE) online store CountryHounds as the first official sponsor of our community. Country Hounds is a supplier of working dogs equipment on the internet, the link to which you will see at the bottom of each page on the forum. The store sells everything from harnesses and collars right up to selling scooters and dog sleds themselves so I am sure there is something on there for pretty much everyone. Also as a member of www.husky-owners.com Rita has offered a 10% discount to all members of the site on any purchases from the store (Thankyou Rita for this kind offer of support to our com…

As you know last month I added the facility to give out awards on the forum. And so Im gonna start the ball rolling with these tonight with the following. There will be more to come over the next week and not all will be added monthly, but may be swapped around as and when us "dark side" feel appropriate TOP POSTER AWARD This award will shortly be added to Nix's profile (bingsnblaze) for this month. But I gotta say I wanna see someone beat her this month LOL ... Nix has been on the forum for a long time now and it can sometimes be difficult to keep up that level of posting for so long on a forum. A true asset to husky owners CONTEN…

Hi All, I'm sorry to have to tell people that Aimee has now resigned as moderator on the forum. I think people pretty much know about the stuff that has gone on this weekend and if you dont Im sorry but Im not going through it all again with anyone else. As an owner of a forum its very much in my best interests not to become personally attached to it or any members, however I have made a lot of friends on here because it is originally what me and Sarah both set out to do. Today I think it may have lost me one of those friends through nothing but lack of consideration from more than one member on this forum. I don't mind saying it has ups…

It has taken me a while to add this to the announcements on the forum as at the end of the day it is peoples own lives and its up to them what they choose to do with them. HOWEVER I have to stress that husky owners is not a dating agency. It has now 3 times with 3 different sets of people in the past 2 weeks caused issues on this forum with members. If you have some issue take it away from here or I will force you to do so!! There are a lot of good members on here who enjoy the site, enjoy the facilities provided for them, enjoy the meetups etc and I will not have them destroyed by the selfish few who would like to pm around gossip about o…

Hi all, Just to let you know that you will notice some rearrangement going on with the forums over the course of today. This is being done in order to try and expand on what we already have since we are now getting to the 20000 posts a month stage. And to try and simplify where things should be posted a little more than they are at the moment. If you think there there is a section that we currently are missing on the forum, please let us know .... Pleae note this does not automatically mean it will be added as we have to keep our eye on the layout of the forum, however if we feel it will add value to the forum then it may be added. When thinking of these …

Hi guys, Just to let you know that the topic previewing is now back. Have ditched the larger version of it with the avatars as some found it a little to over the top when I was testing it and that was with only a few members being able to see it.

Hi all, For a fair while now I have been asked for various things to help people promote the forum, from logos to businesscards. This came up again with the latest post being from Jennet with her flyers. Therefore with this in mind I have added a completely new area to our site. At the top of the forums you will find a new button named resources where I have added some of the most commonly requested things. If anyone has any that they would like me to add then please feel free to ask and I will add them in there. I will also tomorrow be adding an area for member submissions where any member can request for their own resources such as Jennets to be added to…

Hi Guys, A while since we have had any new additions to the forum so I thought I would get a few bits sorted that I've been meaning to do for a while. The first of these bits are new topics. You will notice now that when a new topic is posted, it will appear as a shout in the shoutbox from the user who has done the new topic. You can click on these and get to that topic directly.
