Opportunity for David L.

[David Luciani]

I suspect the old site will never go up since personalities seemed to have clashed. If that's the case, it's a shame since years of facts will be lost, and many of the old timers are probably gone and with the site gone, there knowledge is gone with it. The copy is some help but unless searches are possible to reach this old stuff.. it may be lost for practical purposes.  I did not read all that's above, so maybe I missed something but the fact that you, David, was forced out.. that says alot. Reminds me of the Beach Boys.. Brian Wilson was thrown out by Mike Love, now Love is the only original member. He's a shxt. Brian and Al Jardine perform under another name.  

maybe I'm missing something.. I am a new member.. a year or so.        I'm bob k

Bob,
not really thrown out so much as just pushed away. i truely feel there was no agenda just a mis understanding. i suppose i could have made another call but i decided that God had sent a hint to focus on the forum i actually have title to and grow vintage karting with it.
as far as the old site rebooting it has been a while. the error code does indicate a coding problem deep in the software. but kevin g has some chops in coding and i do believe he'll get it fixed. sadly without a new platform sooner or later it won't return.
brian and i and others have endlessly discussed what to do to save the info.
a static copy was a start.
if gary e., the owner lets us we can redo the forum info into a modern platform.
it'll take a long time but if we get the info it's doable.

i am gonna send kevin a query tonight for an update and possibly if i feel it's needed call gary. it ain't over yet.

on that note a little mcbob update.
we are attempting to rescue what's savable from his site. sadly he pulled the plug before we knew so much of the info was lost.
he did give us permission to republish it and if we succed i am gonna ask him to be the moderator but we'll cover the hosting costs.
