Besides ichi I'm not sure which other mods are active anymore. But as you pointed out for this issue mods don't matter anyways. We don't have full access to the forum itself let alone support contacts for the hosting company.

Guff pops up on a fairly regular basis and Manny was here once a while back. You disappeared for a couple of years but returned to the fold!


When ichi was gone on vacation we had a couple of weeks of almost no coverage. Luckily it was a quiet period.


Or else...

Looks like it was just the subscription was out-of-date. What was the credit card number and expiration date of the primary account holder again?

Looks like FT-MH was on yesterday, no last online time for Hachiroku. So FT-MH is probably the one you want to try and reach out to.

Please hit me up whoever is the appropriate party to discuss this.

If you do get a response, update Apache immediately. For... reasons.


Actually, as I read a bit more on this. Just burn it down. Probably for the best.

Even in that period I’d check reports fairly often if I saw them right away. Just didn’t post.

That tactic didn't turn out well for Custer!

Somebody generate a news article about the second generation 86 - doesn't have to be genuine, could be motoring.com.au fake news or whatever - just something to lure the admins.

Any updates @Dave-ROR? I haven't heard anything back either. Since you're probably the best connected as a moderator, it'd be great if you could hunt down the Admins and have a conversation with them

Just wanted to revive this thread. I saw we had a very extended "maintenance period" the other day. It was enough to motivate me to start updating my personal website to have a cars and cooking section and porting my articles from the forums to my site. I'm going to start porting important DIY articles and other information to my website, just so I have a place to retrieve that information later, as I'm concerned about the longevity of FT86Club.


I have plentiful capacity to host this site and the expertise to help the admins, if they're interested. But so far I've gotten only radio silence. Feel free to reach out to me.
