I just have to say that CJ's web site, and in particular the Latest VIN page, is tremendous. That's my new daily stop to see today's VIN assignments and how close the configured dates are getting to the date I configured. Well done!
What happened to the “Latest VIN” web page? 404 error now
Well that’s a bummer. Best, most addictive page ever for those of us waiting for VINs! Hope they get it sorted out.Kerfuffle with Troy, I believe. Would be nice for the result of that to be noted here. Last I saw, that site's thread was locked while things were worked out behind the scenes.
Warning: skip this entire post if you don't want to hear a looooong rant.
I do owe all of you an explanation about the behind the scene events of the spreadsheet the last few days.
Originally when I resurrected the spreadsheet back in December, it was to continue @schonelucht's work of collecting and tabulating Model 3 informations. (See original post)
It was supposed to be a fun project while I wait for the car. Like most of us here, I am here because I love the company and this car, and I thought this would be a great way to bring the community together. I have always maintained that the data of spreadsheet belongs not to me, but to the community that made it possible. My job is one of a custodian. My charge is to protect the data.
Troy came along a few weeks later and asked to join. I thought sure, the more the better. But once in, Troy did not want anyone else involved, and there were quite a few that have asked. I didn't care at the time as Troy was putting in a lot of time and work and didn't need any help.
Things began to sour about a couple of months ago. I knew that the Google sheet which was never designed to handle web traffic will bog down with heavy user load. and we were about to be hit with a heavy user load with the non-owner invites. I suggested that we start a web page as the front end to the database backend. Troy disagreed saying we don't have a problem and the webpage is not needed.
But as the connection problems with the spreadsheet mounts, it became obvious that we do have a problem. So we got together to optimize the spreadsheet by culling old tables and old data. At first it was by mutual consent, but eventually Troy took over and deleted any info he felt like. Funny thing is that it was always my table and my tabs that he felt like deleting. I would come back from a weekend, and whole sections of my work would be missing. Then came the clones which did fine during the evening, but didn't help much in peak traffic. So I finally convinced him to grudgingly let me start the web page. Not quite sure why I needed permission, but I thought it was the right thing to do as a partnership.
Last week, I made a post in response to another member here on TMC putting a link to the webpage. I made the mistake of telling Troy about it. He immediately demanded that I take down that post saying that my website was not ready and that it was below his standard. He stated that if I didn't take down that post, then he would ban me from the project. He then stated that he did not want anything to do with the website and that he did not want his name involved. I did deleted that post to appease him, but that left a rather sour taste. I felt bullied.
Three days ago, Troy wanted access to my website so he can "help improve it" an he wants my owner password to the spreadsheet. When I refused, he began to lock me out. First it was just deletion of the link to the website. Then it was editing privilege to the database. If I was not going to give him the owner password, then he was not going to give me editing rights. The last straw came when he cut off the data feed to the website yesterday.
At first I thought I don't need this aggravation. Just let him have his way and I would go on to a happier life. But I remember my duty to protect the data. If I quit now, I would leave the data in the hand of a single person with questionable ethics - one who was previously banned from this site and who is currently in dispute with another member here regarding ownership of the data.
So over the course of the afternoon yesterday, I resurrected the website and the database behind it. I just didn't want to fail my charge.
Going forward, I want to turn the site over to the community who do actually owns the data. Perhaps have it hosted here or on M3OC. I will finish setting it up and can remain to advise but someone else should take charge.

Here is the current situation: @chojn1 is working on his website here and has a Google form. I have another Google form and I'm working on the spreadsheets. The two projects are going in different directions.
