Another TR board goes the way of the DoDo.

I'll admit I never spent much time over there, but it's still sad to see another resource disappear. IHADAV8 is shutting down.

Thank you again Shane for keeping this site alive!

Well that sucks. I always felt the boards were better for getting info than on FB. Wish this place was more active, shame a lot of past info here was lost during the crash.

Bet syty is next, tumbleweed central over there. Look like regalgs.org is gone too

Hope it doesn’t happen here but this site is nowhere near as active as it was when I joined in 2013

Guess there's only so many times you can discuss how you can make fire shoot out of your tail pipes with a paper clip, cone filter, gallon of paint thinner & taking a pair of channel locks to your fuel pressure regulator haha

It was pointed out the hosting cost had quadrupled.

It is sad as that is where a lot of my tech went after this board crashed several times and I lost faith. I guess nothing is forever.

RIP ihadav8.com

Kinda sad where turbobuicks.com went getting bought out and becoming a ghost town too.

Either way, nice that this site keep chugging along.

I hope not but you're right, tumbleweeds there and international sytysgt too. Don't even mention the syty section here. I would post something sometimes but it's bad enough not getting any replies at Plenty of Fish, I don't know if I could handle not getting any responses to my syyty questions.

Maybe this site will pick up a little bit now,not that i didnt like that site i was on there for 12 years, a lot of the members over there are here also but havent posted here in a long time, aside from Mr.Wood's technical expertise over there this is the place for up to date TR technical info inmo

Gotta have standards though, right?

I sold my turbo cars and trucks over 20 years ago. I stop by once in a while. This site used to be super busy. Now it seems like a ghost town. Like others have said SYTY is on life support.

OK - since the cat's out of the bag.. The board will live on. A friend reached out and offered free hosting. He has a soft spot for traditional bulleting boards. In the next 24 hours, after the DNS tables update, going to IHADAV8.com will direct to the new server. Another bonus, it seems much faster to me. All threads and images are restored. Be aware, if you post on it now, that post may not be on the new server. Please wait about 24 hours to post. I am leaving the Facebook group as is, for those that may be more comfortable with that interface.

Wonder why Mark is closing it down?

He didn't. But his original reason was hosting fees got too high.

 

[JayC]

Yea, I know what thats like. I could have worked something out with him.

Looks like some one anteed up for that site and I guess Mr Wood's little how to imbroglio.
Nice of you to offer up. Crazy how small this community has become.

Glad he was able to work something out.

Hosting isnt cheap. We've tried to go for "budget" hosting in the past and it never works out. People cut corners and thats how you end up almost losing your board (Fuck you, Mike Edge).
