Thanks for being understanding!!!

Great news, and thanks for your hard work...

I'm really looking forward to it being restored to its former glory, as yesterday my hard drive died, taking with it the tons of mods I'd got from your site :(

GREAT, GREAT NEWS!!! :D

Losing your site has been like losing a close friend. Best wishes for your wife's speedy recovery too! You are a good man, cozog, and you do all of us CM fanatics a huge service!

Looking forward to when I can again upset my other half ("are you downloading mods AGAIN!"). :D

Great news! Thanks so much for all your selfless hard work on this. smile.gif

From some movie which I can't rememeber -

"Sometimes the bad times are there to remind of us of the good times that we weren't paying attention to in the first place..."

I know that applies to me with respect to your site. I've taken cmmods.com for granted for too long.

Expect a visit from my wallet in the very near future. smile.gif

COG,

Do you live in a dry state?

Sincerely,

-------------------History Note------------------

On 22 December 1944 General Heinrich von Lüttwitz, commander of the German XLVII Armoured Corps, sent a message to General McAuliffe, commander of 101st Airborne Division* demanding he surrender the surrounded town of Bastogne. McAuliffe’s reply, “NUTS!” is probably unequalled in the annals of military history, both for its brevity and the amount of confusion it caused in the German camp before it was deciphered.

*The 101st Airborne Division held out in Bastogne from 19-26 December 1944. The 4th American Armoured Division, under Patton’s Third Army, relieved the “Battered Bastards of Bastogne” during the German Ardennes offensive.

I'm almost done with rebuilding CMMods.com website. I've also added a couple of new items.

First, I've broken the page up so you won't be forced to view the preview pic when you open the mod. This should save on bandwidth and allow for faster downloads.

Second, I've purchased an increase in speed (I think I mentioned this before), so that should get things moving faster too.

Lastly, I've added some programming (still working on this, but close to finished) that will extract a list of all the .BMP file names stored in the mod .ZIP file. This will have a two-fold effect of being able to show which .BMPs belong to which units and will eliminate the need for me to manually create a master .BMP list.

I anticipate having this completed within the next couple days, or at the VERY latest, this weekend.

I wish to thank all supporters of CMMods.com. I can't say enough about the CM community. Even though the temporary loss of CMMods.com has been a real PITA for all of you, not one person has complained. I salute you all for your patience!

COG

If you are referring to liquor, then I live in a "wet" state. I don't think there are any dry states, only dry counties within the states.

Wow - excellent.

I hope your avid readers and fans have read this and done the right thing, to the extent they are able!

(I hope you bought a backup system too :D )
