Default What happened?

This may not be well received here but I have been a member at shovelhead.us for years. I know there are several other members here who also are members of the other forum. Does anyone know what happened? I can't log on and it looks like it's just gone.

it went down hill a while back and was over taken by jackasses AND he could not fix it in its present state - he should have been more open about what was going on instead pretended it was not happening

I know what your talking about. Some of those guy's couldn't have done anything else during the day but post on that site. Then layout all their personal problems for everyone to see. On top of that I don't know how they could accomplish that many things in one lifetime. I hope it will come on line again. There were plenty of good people on there, I miss their posts.

then float around and you will find them using the same handle - direct a good crew to a site that is not stressful to belong and move on

I know it has helped me out a lot! I wonder if all of the info is archived somehow, or if it is truly just gone.

I used a different name there. It just might have had what I was looking for because I have hundreds of bookmarks to
some of the technical posts. Looks like it is time to get to know this site. I made my first post here yesterday and was
really surprised that I was a registered member. Man, time flies. The little I've seen here though, looks like it is put
together very well.
I hope Jack gets it going again, and that the tech end of things there does not get nuked. I've never had a Starbucks,
never done a Facebook, Still ride a shovel. Think I'll go do that and look for a Starbucks.
