It's not redirecting now, it's giving an access denied.

Jason, how do you like Dreamhost? I'm thinking of finding a new provider, and I'm impressed that they offer subversion, WebDAV, and ruby.

Outstanding Jason! Let us know when it's functional.

I was getting lots of SQL errors but now I am getting a Drupal login page. Does that mean we can go ahead and register?

... cheers for setting this up.

Ok, there is now a forum. It's up to you guys to define the vision of the site.

It's not only valid, but I stayed up without sleep for days before FS went on sale just to get it. Kinda like waiting in line for concert tickets back in the day.

(Did I mention I also have serial # 0003 for Zebra?)

he's been very open to suggestions as well.

Thanks for the plug. Somebody just pointed me to this quote, though a few weeks late. The site's had a re-design, plus a hardware upgrade and should not have any load issues now at all, except for around 1-2AM Pacific, when the entire server is backing up.

I publish books and videos for the pro audio industry for a living, which keeps me quite busy. With a family, music projects, volunteer work, and now this no-longer-so-secret web-geek bent, it's purely insomnia that has fueled the site!

Yes, the forums are pretty slow. I've not spent much time trying to cultivate them yet. When OSXA went down and I built what became AppleProAudio.com, I wanted a place to get my news from that I knew wasn't going to go down for weeks on end. Though I never tried to recruit anyone on that board to my new site, a whole lot of people from OSXA came over and registered last summer, but none stuck around after OSXA re-opened that time. I understand that. It's easier to go back to what you know than to deal with starting over, and there was and is a lot of great old messages there to search when you're needing help.

I haven't gone to OSXA in a while since the BBL thing happened. I don't know what does or doesn't go on there now since I don't use it. I will say that once upon a time I sure liked lurking, reading and sometimes participating in the discussions.

As for what the AppleProAudio.com site has become, I decided to make a real emphasis on the one thing that OSXA repeatedly let die on the vine and that was providing timely news stories. In addition to publishing almost 400 of our own since opening, we now carry 130+ RSS news headline stories on the site for everything which I thought might be of interest to guys like me who use the Mac for recording, with a bit of Apple-centric but non audio related, too. I wanted to get all the industry news headlines online put onto my site so that I can, like everyone else, visit it and see something that is of interest most every time I go on it.

This might 'splain a bit as to why I haven't banged on the forum area real hard yet. Hell, it's just me doing all this. The site is now barely nine months old, but it is getting about 29,000 unique visitors each month and serving up a lot of pages to those that come over. We've registered almost a thousand since opening, though it is only required for contest entry and posting in the forum. We have given away a lot of cool software and I've created what I set out to create, which is a solid, steady news source. We also released a few different RSS Dashboard Widgets for the site's news which has seen a combined 12,000 downloads since the first came out. Forums tend to build themselves over time, though it wouldn't hurt to put some time into them.

I am open to suggestions as always for anything with the site. I'm always interested in knowing, helping, connecting to and providing info for people who love to make music and use their Mac in the process. If people want to populate the forums there and give it life, it is there, unmoderated (other than for spam, etc), and waiting. If people just want to visit us to read the hundreds of headlines then follow them to cool places like KVR, and other great sights online, that's fine too.

Good luck with the OSXAudio.net site. Looks like we had a similar impetus for doing things.

Thanks.
