Hey all, long time no see!

Apologies to everyone that are on here daily and have witnessed the outage we've been having without answers.

I just want to keep everyone in the loop that this was purely because of my neglect and lack of time for Autemo. Originally I had a friend manage the back end of the site for the last few years and I haven't been on top of payments for the hosting and server which I have gotten full control of again

It's not cheap to keep this place running monthly and I've been busy focusing on my photo and video career, so Autemo was on the back burner. But I've got full access again so everything is my responsibility if it goes down again.

Saying that, I might look into getting the website updated if any of you guys are handy with coding or that type of thing, of course there is a lot of back end and private info, so I can't just let anyone 'have a go' but drop me a message or comment below and lets have a chat if anyone is genuinely interested and have knowledge, I'm keeping this place running out of pocket and for the community, so I can't afford to be paying you for their time sadly. But lets have a chat!

Also beyond my knowledge, but if anyone has their own server running 24/7, would it be viable to host Autemo from your end?

Cheers,
Joseph

Nice to hear an update on the current situation.

I would love to help out, but honestly I know nothing about coding. Or servers.


One of the biggest changes that would need to be addressed, is having 3d section up and running. But that would require a staff member for that area who has proper knowledge of that area (would be essential in having proper competitions with proper and reasonable rules/regulations and bases etc.) Since it seems that quite many have already transformed into 3d it should be included better. Sad to say my knowledge on this front is limited aswell.

Also, maybe someone who would get word out on social media. Instagram, fb, snapchat whatever. There is big mass out there from which pretty many new members could be interested in joining the site and giving a boost to the forums.

Either way, lets hope it kicks up and site keeps running. Many of the old competitors have gone already.

Hope this post makes sense, it is quite a bit of work but could be doable.

Many, many of the old members are still active but just spread out on ig, artstation, etc. There is still big potential out there
