Who contacted the owner? Did they even reply? I emailed (not PM) the site admin and got no reply. I checked the profile of every moderator I could search up (which took me HOURS) and none of them have been active in years. The copyright notice hasn't been updated in 4 years.

This site is going to die. I think its ripe for hackers now. I changed my email and password to protect myself (which took HOURSSSS!!!).

I've been trying to post this for 24 HOURS!!!!! I'll consider it a minor miracle if it posts.

I say **** this place unless it gets fixed. I'll be at 4runners.com

I just did a quick search and the software at the bottom of this page that this site runs on was ended in 2016 as end of life and is no longer updated. that is 8 years to long in commercial software sustainability. That means there is no fix for the software. It is what it is.

Surely it can be migrated to a newer version?

at this point no one really cares it appears

and yet they are still paying for web hosting, at least until January. VBulletin doesn't cost that much.

Who is the owner/site admin? Do they have a profile here or are they standing behind a curtain somewhere?

I couldn't access the forum at all yesterday (Sunday) and couldn't gain access this morning either. Other day it's usually very, very slow and takes multiple attempts.

If it is hosted somewhere on a hosted companies server then it is a software/config issue

It's an admin issue, because they are present and active on the site as recently as yesterday

and still raking in tens of thousands of dollars for ads on a site that doesn't work

and apparently can't afford a 200 dollar software upgrade, can't respond to any of these threads or attempts to contact them to find out what's going on
