From what my conversations were with Robin, I'm a bit more optimistic on this.... Fingers crossed.

UE store back up and running.......:smile:

Good news
 

Well that is good news. Now hopefully the forum is not far behind.

Arh..... Sweet... I can breathe again. ;)

Shocked
 

I know I was shocked when I hit the link and it actually worked. I just got up and am getting ready for work and thought I would give it a try. Kind of a relief and I am happy to see that Robin finally worked through whatever the issues were and things are back up and running. Thank you sir.

wow i tryed to register and it said an admin has banned my email...thats odd

Assistance
 

Not sure what your issue is, but try sending him an email and request assistance.

(Robin@UEusa.net)

Hey guys I just registered over on the UE forum. Do most of you guys that I know over here have the same forum name that you have here on Monster?

Yup. Same forum name for me.

Most
 

I think most of us guys do use the same usernames, and some have a similar name. I use JERRY2KONE for everything internet related and have since 2001. With so many different accounts gov and civil, bank accts credit cards accts that all have different passwords that I have to remember why make it even more complicated by also using various user names as well. Personally I'm getting too old to add more complications to my life. On top of everything else gov passwords have to be changed now every 60 days, and have to meet specific priorities and can themselves become very tedious to deal with and remember. I think I have close to a hundred accounts on line for one reason or another and everyone has a different password.

I wonder how long it will take for Robin to activate my account. I know guys like neil will Email Mike to speed the process. Do you guys do that over on that forum. If so can I get one of you guys to vouch for me:whistle:
Thanks,
Mike.

What username
 

What username are you using over there?

Same one.

i try to create an account on UE forum there was 2 years, i send an email to robin but my account never been activated...

I go on to hope!!!

so im able to sign in there but no activation email at all so, i guess i cant post over there until i get that. Kinda annoying the whole process to try to get into a place that your just trying to get info about product that you want to buy. But i guess its really not to important

Priorities
 

Robin has his prorities even if we do not understand them sometimes. Trust me I have my share of issues with UE a well. The UE forum suffered an IT crash that took out his forum server. Robin is not an IT geek so he depends on a friend to get things up and running when the poop hits the fan. Unfortunately that friend's father suffered some major medical issues so he had to wait until this tech had the time to help out and get tings back up. There are other factors going on behind the scenes that are going to take some time for him to straighten out, which will give him the chance to improve the entire UE picture. After reading some of his more recent replies and also his latest post on the UE forum I feel pretty dammed optomistic about the future of the UE business. Things are looking up. Oh and part of his situation has had him working away from home for the last six months and that is why things have been pretty lax over there. He's back now and intends to make changes and improve everything. So have patients, have faith, and look forward to being a part of his intended rebirth for UE. Or buy a new Traxxas or HPI toy and move on.

Request
 

I sent Robin an email to let him know that some of you new guys wanted to have your new user request activated on the UE forum, and this is his response.

Sure, give me a list of users. Note, they must have their real name entered in the real name field. If they didn’t, please supply it with the list.

So privide all of your info in a PM to me and I will send the info to him. Note that he said that your real name has to be entered into the name field. There were problems with people trying to sign in previously that had already been banned so he is more cautious now.

Awesome, thanks so much Jerry!!!!!

hmm wierd my real name and everything was entered but i'll send you a PM anyhow.

Information
 

He is not singling anyone out. This was a general request for everyone so he is not wasting any of his time processing accounts without the proper information. He is a cautious man. Thats just his way. And me? Well I am just trying to help people out as a standing member of UE, because I really enjoy the UE forum and am happy to see new members gaining entry into our world there.

New members
 

For those of you who requested assistance gaining access to the UE forum I submitted the information that he requested and you provided. Now it is up to him as to when he has time and actually takes care of allowing your access. Glad to be of assistance guys. I believe you are getting in at a good time with him wanting to re-invent himself and the UE site things could get even better for all of us. Robin has plans that he has been putting off for some time but he vows to improve his life and his business model. So lets see how it goes, OK??

Please keep in mind that he still does not ship outside of the USA. He may change his mind in the future, but he keeps all of his sales strictly inside of the borders of the United States of America. I imagine that this may be because there were some past dealings that may have gone bad and trying to recover losses overseas becomes extremely difficult and not worth the sacrifice from a business standpoint. So for any of you guys overseas you will have to find another way to acquire UE gear if that is your desire. Once you establish connections within the forum and can promote a good reputation within there are other ways to overcome this difficulty. Good luck guys.

thanks for the help btw

Done
 

For those of you who asked and sent me info I sent everything to Robin, and just received an email from him saying that it is done. So go ahead and log into the UE forum and welcome aboard guys.

Succes! Thanks for your help, man. Very nice of you. :-)

Thanks again Jerry!!!!!!!

You'll find
 

I think you will find that that is just the way most of the regular guys are over there. We all go out of our way to help each other out. That's why the group that hangs out in there are more like a fraternity. We are all in this for similar reasoning, and enjoy sharing and learning as much about the hobby as we can. Last year one of our members was blessed with a gift for his son who is confined to a wheelchair. The forum group pulled together and donated enough UE items for him to build a very nice SuperMaxx truck with all the bling anyone could want, and then present it to his son who has had a real desire for one of these trucks.

I'm very happy that I was able to help.

this is a beautiful story, really beautiful!!!

Is the ue forum down again? When I click on the forum from the home website, it says it page load error.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Just got on the ue forum from my phone. It's not working. Anyone having this problem?

Same here!

Have you guys been finding the UE forum has been going down almost every other day this week? I can get to the store, but forum says IEX cannot display th webpage. Boo

Same here

Yup same for me. Was done all day yesterday. Ahhhh. I need my fix and references. Lol :oh:

The good thing is it does seem to always come back up. Makes me nervous tho lol

And it's back

Yea me too
 

yea me too. Whenever I see that it is down I shoot Robin a quick email to make sure he knows, and it is usually back up in a few minutes to an hour. I'm Not sure what problems he is having, but the thought that it may never come back up always passes over me, and that is frightening. Anyway it is good to see so much activity these days. I hope it just keeps getting better and better.
