To all who post on the Horn and Whistle Board. The site has been down for way too long. We can no longer access all of that info built up over the years.
This is not meant to pull members from this board. They are different atmospheres and each has it’s place.
I have set up a similar board for the collectors and restorers that frequent the horn and whistle board. It is not designed to replace the old board unless some day down the road adam gives the nod that he is no longer supporting the old board.
I ask that the admin and mods allow this to remain at least until the old board gets back up. There is no way to contact the membership over there and let them know about the interim board.
Frustrating that the board is down again - just recently I thought “Great, they finally fixed it”. I admire the attempt to set up an interim replacement, but without all the content I’m not sure if it’ll gain adoption.
The other problem of course is that there’s a huge class division between the folks that hang out at the H&W and here. A whole bunch don’t see eye to eye between the two camps, so I don’t know how you’d go about promoting thew new site.
I really am not concerned about the interim site unless others decide they want to use it as an option. It may not go anywhere but when the original site is down at least people can pop on and talk. It only took me a few hours to set it up.
Just remember, someone else could take your user name
Site is back down again. Nobody knows if anybody is working on it. Adam isn’t talking. It may be in some sort of overload issue and comes and goes. Error say too many signed on.
I got that same error this morning but it worked long enough yesterday for me to get on. I’d be surprised if they have that many members logged on at the same time.
Good on you Hoot for keeping on with it. At least some of the literature is being rescued. Such a shame that Adam has let the old site go down the gurgler like that. That place was a treasure trove of good info on horns.
Can only hope that the content is recovered one day.
