    perhaps Rob and Cordelia finally got admitted to the psychiatric ward? They're probably having a cry over not being appriciated so closed the message board while they're having a moan. Or maybe, its just down for maintenance.

    That board has been closed for over 2 months for maintenance.

    It could be a lot of work that needs to be done, but I don't think is coming back by the look of the situation.

    In the begining I thought it was just an IP address blocking situation but now that I see some other people can not access it I think it has something to do with not enough founds to keep it up and running.

    Do u think it's closure might be related to the closure of the motornet forums? Been seeing a fair few forums getting the chop lately :(

    Think you'll find that CruiseIrl has had alot more car chat going on for the past 1/2 years. Maxed became frequented by quite a few who had nothing more than their social lives to discuss...a lot of 'quieter' forums have more valuable content...

    It closed because it was full of sad little boy-racers....and that's a perfectly logical reason.

    It gets boring to see scornful comments like this every time there's a hint of a modifier on the board. It’s always the same, someone (usually middle aged, and drove either A) nothing at 20 B) drove a piece of crap at 20 or C) is somewhat jealous and wished he could have had that 'boy racers' car at 20
