Hi guys!
I thought daewootech was lost forever, literally just got an email from PB about the name change.

This is a completely reasonable statement and I can't see why anyone would disagree. Many thanks to efrain and you over the years for keeping this place alive.

I just discovered this, a problem is that the mail server of the hosting doesnt allow to send more 150 emails per hour, more than that and its a reject.

So is a pain in the ass, What I will try to do (over the weekend) is to get the email list directly from the database and look for a provider for a mass email.

Daewootech has been big part of my life for and losing the name as been very hard for me, too bad I reacted kinda late with the new name.

Efrain you are the man!!! I too thought the forum was gone forever. I used to check this thign all the time at the old site. I thought it was gone until I got the e-mail about the new address. I had even done a few searches for Daewo things and the new site didnt' come up. I was afraid it was over!! This site is the only thing keeping my Woo on the road. Glad you took the effort. thanks Efrain!!!

Thanks Efrain! This site has helped me a lot over the years, so much info. It's been a huge part of me being able to get the parts for my build together. precisionboost was also a huge help. Sorry you lost the domain. It's good to see precisionboost posting again and helping to get things going. So thank you both! Now that there's a few people checking in ill be able to send people over from www.suzuki-forums.com who have questions we can't answer over there lol

well, 2 out of 7 guys i emailed isn't bad, I would not be surprised to see a couple more drop by, but it is entirely possible my emails may get sent to spam folder.

thanks for the info on the email, that means only the first 150 emails sent in a mass email will go out before an error.

so that means only 150 out of 4000 received the mass email.

Seems harder and harder to send out large number of emails at once, spam is a problem for the whole world.

Perhaps but hopefully that technology will keep the spam from hitting these boards lightening your load too. it is certainly a double edged sword. thanks again for doing all the dirty work to keep this board up and running. I feel like we have reunited the family again!

So now that I know the limit for number of emails at one time, I have sent out an email to all users that were active after August 2013 and have made one or more posts during that timeframe.

Here is the list, if anyone sees someone that they would like me to email ( missing from the list due to last activity date ) please let me know and I will send out an email

Its good that ppl were notified about the new forum address... but its now so dead here again... I'm guessing alot of people have moved on from the Woo world...
