Wouter Melisson created this sitealong with bez. and it is not hosted cause it has it's own url not www.angelfire.com/sitewhatever

Ok thx, but about hosting thats not what i ment. I mean.... is it some server in his bedroom (meaning that the maker is the host)?

BTW: when was it created

Karrmann
09-30-2004, 12:53 PM
yes it is hosted by Wouter. I think it was created 2 to 3 years ago.

Matt
09-30-2004, 01:09 PM

Wrong. Wouter does not host. There is a hosting company that houses the servers. The servers are in Texas. Wouter is in Europe.

That has nothing to do with hosting. Well, not in the way you're trying to make it sound anyway...

then how did TruechaoZ become Admin when wouter isnt one?

Wouter created and owns the site. However, Wouter does not do any of the programming. TCZ does that, so he has the admin rights. In truth, the Admin account has the most rights and just whoever needs it at the time, logs in as that user.

Ultimatecarpage.com is hosted by a Houston, Texas based company. It's run by Wouter Melissen (Managing Editor), with the help of <AAA-MOD> North American Reporter and Editor, TrueChaoz (Programmer) and of course the rest of the mods.

Company headquarters is in Rozenburg, The Netherlands.

Wouter Melissen

EDIT: We have been online for almost six years.

Karrmann
09-30-2004, 01:57 PM
oh yeah, there is a new admin called MetA, what''s his job? and about the admin accout, is it the account for Wouter to do admin stuff?

Matt
09-30-2004, 02:01 PM
Karrmann - you're better off not posting at all.

Wouter, can we bring rep back JUST for Karrmann? I really want to neg him right now.

During the server switch last month, Matra et Alpine helped Wouter and TCZ work out some issues regarding the migration. They created an account for him to use, aside from his regular account and called it MetA. The Admin account can be used by whoever needs to do particular work at a particular time.

admin
09-30-2004, 02:04 PM
Admin can still change people's rep.

A very fine 6 years it has been.
I can't remember exactly when I found this site, but it must have been fairly early on.

It was and still is excellent, and is still one of the best sources of information on cars on the 'web.

Niko_Fx
09-30-2004, 03:07 PM
I don't remember exactly how I found it or what car was I looking for when that happened, but I do know it was a long time ago.

Then I joined the mailing list and it felt pretty good every time I received an e-mail because new cars were added.

Many months later I joined the forum.

I still receive the e-mails, but I check the forum more often than my e-mail.. heck I'm addicted to this thing. So everytime I receive one it's kind of "old" news :) Don't remove me from the mailing list though.

Im not so sure about that, i think that wouter once said that the rep had just been disabled which means that it is actually on the forums still just that it isnt active, which means that anyone with higher up access could access the rep and change it to what they feel like, wouldnt it be funny if karrmann was put straight down to something like -100 :p

09-30-2004, 03:52 PM
Well, I'll take this as a great day. This is one of the first posts I've seen by admin.

Karrmann
09-30-2004, 03:56 PM
yeah cause as Matt said the admin account is for any admin to go into when needed and is just asbout never posted in.

werty
09-30-2004, 04:40 PM
question for the admin guy

since you obviously do alot of work on the site, you must have gotten addicted yourself, so why dont you posts so much? or do you have a different account you use to roam the forums?

Karrmann
09-30-2004, 04:43 PM
werty, the admin account is for wouter and everyelse to use when they need to do admin stuff.

yes i realize that, but somebody was saying that Truechoaz was wouter's best friend or something, he's a admin, but does he have a separate account to have fun on the site?

He posts sometimes as TrueChaoz. It seems that the "admin" concept is difficult to grasp for some of you. It requires virtual thinking, and normal thinking is already quite difficult. :)

For sure, so occasionally think about clicking through on a UCP ad to give him a fraction of a penny :)

.com domain names can be very cheap with a registration fee of $15 ( or even less ) for a year.

HOSTING the site depends on what size and bandwidth you want and how many of THEIR pop-up ads you'll accept. Cheap usually means limited daily downloads and lots of pop-ups and intrusive ads on the pages.

<AAA-MOD>
10-03-2004, 05:30 PM
The income from the advertisements pay for the expensive monthly operational costs and programmer fees. Luckily the income also takes care of getting us to all of the events you see us visiting in our features.

This is definitely a business, not just a hobby, however it began that way, as you can all imagine. Fortunately Wouter's dad started taking him to races and classic car events in Europe when he was a little wee W. I guess we need to thank him (Henk) too, for directing Wouter's mind in this direction.

Wouter's automotive knowledge is quite extensive, as well as his research literature. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that we're thankful for the detailed editorials and original vehicle histories that Wouter writes. That's just another way we try to differ from many of the other auto sites on the net.

I tried creating a couple of sites of my own a few years ago (AutoImage and MotorMediaOnline), however I couldn't afford the time required to make it worthwhile. I'm married with kids, a house, and plenty of bills that require a more stable income, therefore my full-time job, not car-site related. I'm fortunate that I've had enough spare time to make some contributions to this expanding business.

Wouter's gone about this the right way, early in his life, when he can afford the risk that an internet business can create.

Thanks W, for keeping up the awesome work.

Wouter, have you ever thought of expanding UCP into an automotive offline magazine? Since this has turned into a business for you, maybe that would be the logical next step.

Consider THIS ric .....

If guys like Karmann continue without the pointless posts being pointed out and asked to stop then everyone joining UCP thinks that's the norm. Before you know it UCP goes the way of other forums with lots of back slapping, cussing, pointless posts and you wont' find the good facts, pics and discussions about cars amongst all the drivel.

So, what do you want ?

Matt is trying to 'adjust' Karmann (AGAIN) to improve quality and to save UCP from the backslide into medicroty of other sites.

Worth thining through the consequences and seeing which you support :)
