Lots of valuable information, build threads, and years of history on that site... If Eric isn't interested in properly maintaining it anymore he should sell it to someone that would. It's frustrating.
Yeah, totally agree. It's not easy starting a forum from scratch, then maintaining it over years... I don't know how he feels about the site now, but keeping a site up when you've lost interest isn't easy.
Instead of it being lost, I wonder if RME would archive it here? (assuming he doesn't want to keep it up and going?)
Meh... it's easier (IMO) keeping different sites separate.
What was the other forum?
Planet4x4.net
It's a long story about how it turned out, but basically the founder was going to shut it down and tell his members to come here. We made a deal to keep it running and I bought it, but some of the guys that were helping out fought me from the start or did nothing and it went downhill, no support and I wasn't local, so that made the divide even worse. Over time, even though Herzog and I put a lot of time, effort & money into it, some members of the community weren't happy. I did my best to salvage it, almost sold it to a couple locals but it didn't work out. Ended up selling the site to the same company that bought Pirate and it's really gone downhill. All I wanted was to see the forum stay online and healthy, I know how much goes into getting a forum up & running.
