What happened to our website ?
It was down for days & everthing posted after Oct 18, 2019 is missing !
It is obvious. Computer failure and some dumbass did not back it up since last Oct.
Just get an ad blocker if it’s that bad. Never had a problem after installing oneAll these dam pop up s and ads have ruined this site. I’m sure if it’s money a lot of us will pay a membership fee. I can’t even get on here. It’s all messed up
I'm just glad it is up again. Great recovery and I'm sure it will be better than before. Beats fuck book!!!!!!
I'm sure Shane and Co. are diligently working on the issues, trying to resolve them.
They just got the site back up, be patient and give them some time to make repairs.
Thank you "Captain Obvious".It is obvious. Computer failure and some dumbass did not back it up since last Oct.
Yuk, yuk, yuk . . . .I'm so glad you are the expert and are able to tell us all , that via some dumbass, exactly what occurred.
the archive copy that Mike E had separately stored stripped out all the pictures and attachments so as to reduce the archive file size. Mike E had this backup archive on his own. If he did not have that backup, there would be nothing to restore - the forum would begin from scratch.any idea if the broken pictures or picture links will be capable of being salvaged or not? Looking up older threads or the stickies on "how-to-do" are always helpful, however with broken pic links, makes some of these harder to follow or understand.
Kudos to all working diligently to salvage as much of the website and it's content - keep it up!

thank you for providing the history and context to the happenings behind the scene.the archive copy that Mike E had separately stored stripped out all the pictures and attachments so as to reduce the archive file size. Mike E had this backup archive on his own. If he did not have that backup, there would be nothing to restore - the forum would begin from scratch.
20 years of pictures and attachments from all the restored threads from that archive are gone. I asked Mike E in this other thread about members being granted access to edit those how to's and sticky's and other tech threads for the purpose of re-uploading images and attachments. Members can help restore some of this forum's 20 year history if we, as members, are allowed to. who knows. see post #11 and Mike's reply in link below.
