I was in negotiation for some parts with a user over there and now I can't get the site to come up.

Same song, second verse ...

http://www.borlascornertap.com/forums/show...93&page=1&pp=10

However, it appears this particular now only has 2 verses ...

Bye-bye LS1.com ....

That is truly a sad sad thing indeed. I recall in '98 when Hutch invited me over there to participate. I was on Rob Glover's 4th gen list at the time.

Surfing a message board was much better for me as I can't access personal e-mail from work.

When Hutch sold it to Bradley, everything was fine for a long time. Then, I'm not sure what went wrong, but Brad became very scatter-brained and the site took a real nose dive.

A sad day indeed ...

i think it was inevitable. from what i know about brad, the owner, i really don't see how it stayed up after the first round of problems. oh well better info to be found on LS1tech anyway.

and as mentioned at the end of that link, i think it would be very very smart if tony and prostockjohn could get ahold of the ls1.com name. but theres too much hate there i think for that to ever happen.

Perhaps LS1tech can buy the domain name later and have it refer to their site.

Brad is a freaking dumbass. The man was making around $80K a year through sponsors and wouldn't invest a couple thousand into a decent server. As far as I'm concerned it was dead as soon as LS1tech.com was started. I think the AX/RR section was the only hardcore tech related forum left there.

I'd love to make $80k off of this place.... Unfortunately, I'm closer to $8.

Too bad about ls1.com. I only posted about 300x there, mostly questions that got great answers. It was a great site...

that usually means he got behind on his hosting bill, so he backed everything up, bailed on the hosting company and is working a new deal w/ another sucker. i've seen this happen to close friends hosting for Brad and many times after that.

Yeah, I too am wondering if they are officially dead over there. I thought whatever the problem is would have been corrected by now (paying the bills?, moving to a hosting company...something (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ).

When i was a moderator on that site, Brad had said on numerous occasions that he would just let the whole thing die before he sold it.

Prophetic words ...

A "source" tells me that Brad says he is working day & night to get it back online... and that there was indeed "alot" of data lost. I'm glad Kevin keeps a backup around (and makes sure hosting doesn't lapse...). (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Backups? We don't need no stinking backups.....

Let it die before he sold it? Wow. Not me....no way.

I'll let you in on a secret....if someone produces enough cash, this place is theirs...... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif)

(I didn't say how much cash.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif) ).

Eugenio, you guys should link from www.ls1.com/forums/ also. Alot of people probably have that path saved in their "favorites"(I do anyway) and won't see the Moparplace link. Might as well catch everyone as they jump ship.

He's probably about to find himself some more bills. Advertisers are likely not big fans of weeks of downtime, and even if/when it comes back...I'm guessing this move is going to severely decrease traffic over there.
