It would indeed be a great pity if that site was no longer available! It sounds like they are out of hardware (box?), or what??

Sounds like someone hacked the server and crashed it and he doesn't have enough money for a new one. He is looking for donations now to buy a new server. About a year ago he had financial trouble and sold premium memberships for about $20.00 and that helped for awhile.

Not a whole lot of money to be made on these forums and a whole lot of headache and liability.

Yup, he's looking for donation to get up and running again. Any takers willing to help?

Don't ya love these little geeks who have nothing better to do than to sit in their little rooms at mommy's house, and search sites to hack into and destroy and actually think they are leaving a Mark on the world...

Too bad these bastards can't just be taken out and shot...

I got a Response from Kelly last night and he said that he hadn't been posting for a couple of weeks because he has been busier than a cat in a sandbox. He was getting ready to take a group of hunters back to the airport and pick up another group on the return.

He didn't sound very encouraging about comments concerning the Nest. He's usually upbeat, so I don't really know what is going on with the site Administrator. From what I've heard, people have tried to contact him but their messages have been bounced.

It also seems like there are some hidden issues with the site besides the hacking.

We will wait and see what Curly has to say.

Best wishes, Bill

Morten has a little iformation page that pops up. It says he started with about $700 in his PayPal account and with recent donations he is up to amost $1400. Sounds like he is working hard to get back on line.

I hear that Seafire. +1 from me.

It seems as though Morten is fund raising and working on bringing the site back up.

He is taking donations, howsome ever he is using Paypal. I checked quite a few years and when I was enquireing I found both EBAY and Paypal to be Anti Gun. I immediately severed my business with them. I do not...under ANY circumstances do any business with people of this type.

Paypal can pound salt as far as I'm concerned.

I would be more than happy to send a donation to the Nest, but I won't do it through Paypal.

Sorry, I'm just a stubborn old curmudgeon.

+ 1 for STINGER'S position on ebay and paypal!

They are welcome to their opions, however misguided.
But they are NOT welcome to ANY! of my money.
No matter how nobel the cause.
