Garage Gazzette

I see that the error message at GG has changed from a generic 500 error code to a "Connection refused" error. I would tend to think that such a server error is related to the server itself, but I suppose a corrupt forum script could cause it also. Either way, not much I can do about it.

I remember the troubles from that political forum. What I couldn't or perhaps didn't want to understand was why it got to such a level. Some one felt like a pitbull and couldn't let it lie still I guess.

Political and religious conversations/debates, almost a guarantee to start a fight.

I just heard from Uncle Buck today and Garage Gazette is officially gone, dead, toast, kaput. 

While I was an admin over there I pulled the list of members and their email addresses. I sent it over to Clay and Herb and they are going to start over, just like we did. Herb did not indicate what happened that GG is dead, but I guess it doesn't really matter. He said he will be in touch to let us know how things are going.

That's sad. But we'll all survive and move on. Thanks for sharing the news Terry.

Still no word from Rusty?

Sounds like he picked up his ball and went home.

I know that this is an old thread and all, but a couple weeks ago I tried going to Garage Gazette and had no luck, it's dead and gone as we saw back in June. I decided to send an email to Uncle Buck just to see how he is doing or if they ever got a new forum off the ground after Rusty's departure. 

Crickets.

That's all I hear. No response.

Sad, GG was a neat place in its own right and I enjoyed going over there and poking around from time to time.

I did some looking around, searching and poking. Found that they are in the same boat we were in, Rusty took ducked out with no forwarding address so to speak. One of their members showed up on another tool board and said that they were working on getting a new site up and running at this name and address:  

Garage-Junkies
https://garage-junkies.net

I went to check it out and it says that the site will be launching soon. I have no idea why they are not up and running in a new place after all this time. Uncle Buck had a guy in that group that was supposed to be good with this stuff, frankly I cannot remember his screen name now, but I think I have his email address somewhere. Don't know what's going on, but it doesn't really look very good at this point.

Not really relevant to our site but I thought I would share what I learned.

Shame really.  I liked going there and just read / learn "stuff"..   I'll keep my pie hole shut on the other topic.  Mom always said "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!"
