Its a long story but the site has been online for around 2 years, the previous owners had around 100 users, then sold it to me but didnt tell me that he would take awy the customers, so i ended up with a useless website, then from word of mouth the site started to get busy, then i payed some one to do an email campain for me, it was working great and ended up with hundreds of users, but lightning struck when one night i was receiving a load of hits and the hosting company shut the site down :-( because there servers could not handle the hits, anyway, they shut the site down for 3 days untill everything calmed down it went back online, but with 50 users, i questioned the hosting company and they said that there was no way they could host the current site with the users i had? i was gobsmacked i couldnt beleive what i was hearing, so i demanded to have the website back to its original state with all users, but they wouldnt do it, so i demanded a backup and the website you are looking at, apart from 40 odd other users, is what i had given to me by the hosting company.
My conclusion is that when they shut the site down, they had lost or corrupted the data, the site was running fine up untill then, and its still not right even now, it appears to be running slower than normal.
I have spent hundreds of pounds on the site, getting it prepared, logos, a forum etc, and they screwed it up for me.
The website unfortunately is not for sale as its now more sentimental than anything. If anyone has any ideas for the site please let me know, it would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry to have gone on but you can imagine how i feel.
The good news is of course is that im looking for a established website.
Thanks for listening
Jeff
