As planned, I have terminated the website of...

islandpacketphotos.com/

This was first published in December of 2002. It hosted 11,500 photos and has served the IP community for 13+ years.

The domain names also are now offline..
Ipphotos.com
Ipphotis.net
Ipphotos.org
Islandpacketphotos.com
Islandpacketphotos.net
Islandpacketphotos.org..

It has been a great site.

Not being able to just delete and lose all our 11,500 shared photos, I have been working hard on a new site that combines these photos into the ipyoa 5,000 photos. That project has been completed and is in the final evaluation stages. I hope to replace the ipyoa website with this new site in December 2015. More on that project later. The good news is, it's all been saved.

Thank you for all your sharing in my Web site projects.

Hayden....Enroute towards Vero Beach.

I am sure sorry to hear that. I have been using the photo write-up's a lot the past few months and went to look at one again this evening (that had the specs on the holding tank for the IP 35) and they were gone.

I hope when you bring it back up in the future that you kept the urls of the old location to go through the database and replace the old links with the new links in the posts that are already there. Also, a new site is nice, but being a software developer, I always find that when going through the specs, the old software still really meets the needs with maybe a tweak here and there to bring it to the current business requirements.

It seems everyone is going after a Google world of throwing a lot of data in the pot, then throwing some metadata on it, and hoping you get what you want when searching through a lot of garbage. Hopefully, you will continue down the road of nicely cataloged and chronological data and presentation that perpetuates longer and is a better value, in my humble opinion, to the next new guy - or the old guy taking on a new project. That is counter intuitive to development methodologies today, though.

I like this site much more than the "other" one since the moderator is a little more patient with the new guys (me) when asking a question that has been asked before and you have gone out of your way many times to help others without being condescending or over opinionated. Thank You! And we look forward to where you take this site next.

Todd:
You can rest assured that all the IPphotos have been saves, rebuilt into a better app and will be presented in exactly the same way as the old original site. The same framework was used and the same categories were used. It is FINISHED, it is working well, we are testing it daily with about 10 beta testers, IP owners. I am very happy with the outcome, and I am sure you will be too. It is really amazing. Years in development and the solution finally worked out since the Annapolis Boat Show. I have spent every spare moment on this since Oct 9th. I hope to release it in December 2015.

I hear you loud and clear about "THE OTHER SITE" and the attitude of the admins. That is why I do not use that site. I feel I have built a better service here with better organization and this is a place where ALL IP OWNERS can have a voice and their own opinions without being shot down and ridiculed. So I understand your viewpoint and your loud and clear comments.

Hayden

Bless you Hayden, for all the time and effort you have put into this site. I can come here, put my feet up, have a cup of tea (I'm not much of a beer drinker), and truly enjoy learning and asking questions...unlike TOS. That place was too intimidating for me. :)
