Introduction
Hello and welcome to the VBZ Wiki! This area is intended as an open forum for members of the vbz.net community (customers, suppliers, artists, fans, family, friends, and critics). Many businesses seem to be almost afraid of their customers, hiding their contact information behind layers of "please read this FAQ first" and "please select the nature of your inquiry"; here, you can take the steering wheel. (More about this here.)
You can create an account if you'd like to have a name attached to your posts; otherwise it will just show your IP address. Please read the Wiki Guidelines before making any significant changes, however.
As of November 23, 2024, VbzWiki has 121 articles.
Latest News
- 2005-07-15: Most of the static pages are back up, as are the images, but the shopping cart still is not quite right and the checkout is not online at all; please see 2005-07-11 Server Outage for more information.
- 2005-07-12: Still working on getting vbz.net (the main store) back up and running. Uploading thousands of files is slow, even with cable, and a lot of the stuff has to be rebuilt. Plus (while other things upload) I'm also playing around with oscommerce, in the vain hope that I might be able to get it to be workable with the catalog data I have now, because that would be... so awesome, as they say. (Proper "live" order management, just to start with, and about a zillion other features.)
- 2005-07-05: I just now discovered that a lot of emails I've been sending have been bouncing, and I wasn't notified because my spam filters were filing them away out of sight. Just one more reason spam is evil (two more reasons, actually, as the bounces were also due to spam safeguards). Anyone who has emailed me recently and didn't get an answer, please try again. (Grrrrrr.)
Coming Up
- 2005-07-07: Nothing definitive at the moment. Long-term, I'm working on improving the connections between the catalog area and the wiki area, among other things.
