Grab your towel and DON'T PANIC; move in an orderly fashion to the BETA SITE

So, the situation with the DwS main site database has become so precarious that we MUST move to the beta site post haste. Both sites will be down briefly while data is migrated and then beta.drivewesaid.com will be back up. The main site will be shuttered until beta is complete and then the beta site will move to the primary domain. Remember: go to beta.drivewesaid.com now or get the fun Indian head error page on the main domain.

The bottom line: original DwS 1.0 is no more. Long live Drive We Said and Driveway!

Enjoy and thank you for your patience.

Regards,
The DwS Staff and Hardworking Developer

STOP DOING SEARCHES. WE REALLY MEAN IT.

Dear Users:

You see how DwS 1.0 is down? And keeps going down? This is because people insist on doing thread searches. You have been warned NOT to do thread searches. We weren't joking when we said the DwS 1.0 database is in BAD shape.

So please, for the love of dawg: DO NOT DO THREAD SEARCHES on DwS 1.0. We will be in our new forever home very soon and there you can thread search your brains out. Tread gently on DwS 1.0 until then.

Thank you.

DNS Outage FIXED - Read Below if You're Still Having Issues

I'm sure that DwS users experienced the brief site outage yesterday, and may still be experiencing issues today as the new DNS settings propagate. If you are, we're reachable by IP address:

http://184.164.129.36/

I can also suggest for Windows users setting up your machine to use Google's public DNS servers, which you can read how to do here.

Latest Fix: Post Date/Time Stamps

This was a known issue after server migration, and have been fixed, but ONLY for posts moving forward. Posts made up until the fix are still wonky, and your list of threads with new posts since you last looked will be wrong for about another 12 hrs or so.

DwS Lives AGAIN

We're BACK! Post at will.

Site Still In Maintenance Mode, Should Be Up Later Today

Sorry for the delay, we're still trying to debug one last stubborn bug from our server move, should be back later today. Thanks for your patience!
