Today on this forum you can win £500 worth of Primark vouchers and there's a link to rugs online!!!
PLUS ten rules on how to get a flat belly!.... Laughing

Surely that takes some beating!

No I don't think we are getting the old one back...been too long now if they were going to fix it it would have been done and dusted by now...*sigh*.............. Crying or Very sad

What you got must have been temporary, as far I see, things are looking slightly better with the XTC site. The news page is back. And there seems to be some progress on other sites. The forum's back to being unavailable instead of the blank forum, the official error message or that crypic error message.

I figure it'll be back... it's just that all parties are either bad at this or somewhat unmotivated to get it done.

By "it" I mean "A" forum... I'm not so sure what they can do with the old one. I can't even retrieve printable versions of the froum anymore.

I think the old forum is gone with the digital wind. I mean, for a long time threads disappeared, and never came back. Now the whole forum have been gone for almost three months. Therefore I find it hard to believe that it can be restored.

It´s good that this place exists. But I really hope that Andy and Steve start a new official one. In the long run I think that is needed for keeping the interest up. And also to get input from Andy.

I think it will never come back, and if it did, it'll be a shadow of it's former self... sad but true!

It would be amusing to play that one backwards.
