Jack Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Afternoon all and as promised here is an update on HMVF TV.. We have been at a crossroads for a while with HMVF TV as we either push it forward or we don’t. For it to go forward we need to invest in the latest version – this will take time and money. Money isn’t the issue but time really is. On the time front both Joris and I are totally stacked for time – Joris has a young baby and is the middle of his house build and his job is demanding. Lee has shows to organise and HMVF already asks a lot of his time. For me, driving a company through a global depression is very challenging and fun and is soaking up all of my spare time. Our host’s informed us last week that they are shutting down. They have been some techi issue for some with uploads to the site and it takes time to fix these. It really is with sadness that Joris and I have made the decision to switch HMVF TV off from now. Because we can no longer give it the time that it needs. We have been so pleased with it that we don’t want to see it go. HMVF membership is growing and it has a real buzz around it and we need to make sure that HMVF has our full attention which it will now get. We intend for the front page to be full of articles, more news and reviews and will tell you more about that by the end of week – it will be great and we need your content. Videos Ads will be staying and I will tell you more about that soon as well…. It leaves me to say a big thank you to every single person who took the time and effort to upload their videos to the site and to those who got frustrated with it too. And I sincerely hope that our decision hasn’t inconvenienced anyone. My kind regards, Jack.

Guest catweazle (Banned Member) Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Well done mate good idea,gets my vote.Can we leave off the MV bit,just have a video board so we can include the other subjects,no weddings or funerals though a,unless its a members of course:rofl:
Markheliops Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 No worries chaps - Fun and informative while it lasted but hey ho - can't have everything. Thanks for setting it up in the first place.
Marmite!!

Funerals... may be able to do one of those with a Mil theme.. I have the instructions for building coffin board to convert the 25pdr into a Coffin Bearer.. Coming soon HMVF Funeral Services... discounts for members..
Tony B Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Funny you shoukl say that! I have a specific clause in my will NO HEARSE!!!! I loath the things, the back of a Dodge or Land Rover. I did attend a friend's funeral, the coffin travelled on the back of his RL. It was odd, we were much more used to seeing him under it :-D

Jack Posted February 4, 2009 Author Posted February 4, 2009 CW - yes everything is backed up and in actual fact site is paid for up to the 1st March so we can still use it but didn't want to waste folks time by letting people up load content only for it to be switched off
Tony B Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Nice to have one problem linked to succes though Jack.
