I haven't been on there for quite some time, I remember them having a period of downtime not so long ago - what's the reason for this latest occurrence?

I heard a rumour that they are sulking because all the real enthusiasts are using another (Cheshire-based) forum. Laughing

They seem to have been having lots of in house troubles at PC for quite some time and I remember they got quite arsey when people complained when they made some changes to the forum a few months back, still it would have been nice of them to let there loyal users know it was shutting down rather than just pulling the plug like they have done.
