AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
WAY back when (IAO 2003 or 2004) Air America had a table/booth right across from AGD. On said table was this little dancing hamster. One of the AO members decided as a prank to steal Little Shane, as he was called. It then became an in-joke as he would be passed from member to member at events (or direct shipping) on an adventure around the USA. We'd take pictures and send them to the Air America guys and post them here. Eventually, he made his way back home.
Disclaimer - Air America and AGD were notorious for prank wars at events. They wrapped the AGD Cougar in heavy duty saran wrap, so the Shirt Ninjas decorated every square inch of their car with AGD stickers.
This was after Dan Colby from Air America gathered all of us behind the table at the AGD booth to "take a picture." He threw what looked like a fire cracker at us behind the table (turns out it was just lit fuse wire and a cardboard tube). We scattered like cockroaches after the lights have been turned on. He then proceeded to do that to a whole barn full of people - nothing you could do today obviously.
