Are most of the pictures long gone or is the firewall here at work blocking them?

Probably a little bit of both. I've noticed a lot of old photobucket hosted threads that are pretty much void of real images now.

I think part of that is photo bucket them selves. I got an email a while back about deleting content as they made changes to how the storage works.

Yeah, I believe you are correct. Anyone hosting their images on PB got purged in general a long time ago if they didn't sign up for a paid account. It's unfortunate but it's just the way it is.

This site used to be the prime forum for all things 1st gen, loved it and the community, was heavily saddened that it didn't keep up with the times, especially with the 2nd gen. It's only competition is the GR86forum and that frankly is terrible when you compare this forum to its 2013 glory.

Shelve the pride, save the site, and let someone who gives a shit manage it.

Not sure about anyone else but the main page is white screening for me, otherwise all subforums work fine.

you’re preaching to the choir here.

i highly doubt the owner has looked at this site in years. probably just basking in whatever little money they get from ad impressions.

I must admit the site refresh/facelift looks pretty cool. Seems to be a bit quicker too, maybe things are looking up .

Seems like the website is going through changes. Probably a new admin took over this website to bring back this forum to life. Probably need to get use to the new interfaces

Same issue for me

[ZC6_STi]

I think the white screen is the webpage going through maintenance. It doesn't display how long it would take, though.

Because the under 30 crowd CRIES when told, "Hey man, there are literally 318 threads on this EXACT topic. Do some research and educate yourself, then ask a question that hasn't been asked and answered 800,000 times."

When I my OBD-I S52 swap into my E30 in 2009, I was able to use R3V to find out EVERYTHING I needed to know without asking a single question. Wiring harness adapter, brake booster, which ECU, and on and on.

Now there are posts about "how do I change the blink on my 2nd gen twin" when it's literally a f------ setting you can access through the headunit.
