    Some of you may know me as that white-bearded old codger who flits between ww2talk and this forum.

    You can also add "puzzled" old codger to your description because that's what I am today.

    Ww2talk.com went down late yesterday evening and at the time of writing is still not working.

    What puzzles me is that the site has a facebook and a twitter page and yet nothing has appeared on either regarding the present downtime.

    The only plus in the present situation is that I get to once again say hello to old friends on this forum and to hope that you are all in good shape.

    Regards to all !

    Ron

    ps

    By the way, have you seen these excellent then & now photos ?

    I re-tweeted Otto's announcement about the shutdown as soon as he put it up, mate.
    Didn't bother on Friendface as there's not much to add to the message on 2T.

    Latest news is 70-odd Gigabytes will take a while to shift.
    If you buggers hadn't uploaded c.40GB of photos etc.... ;)

    Phew, glad you didn't say tourists: apparently these days their reception is less pleasant and the processing is nowhere near as quick ;)

    Actually our NSA shut it down while they gather metadata on those left wing radicals over there. Will be back up soon and we will be safer. :)

    PS It was quite a relief to notice that my WW2talk topics were not affected, as previously last year when most of the pics were lost.

    That's 2 completely different things.
    Last year it was a major change in forum software ... this was just a change in server.

    Otto DID promise to load our old picture galleries one of these days. (Hint / reminder.)

    I really miss them. Some of our older threads have lost all meaning.

    If we can not do that, I wish the moderators would open up permissions so we could go back to day one and be able to edit our posts to fix the image links.

    Ron Goldstein's in particular. He had some FABULOUS posts in the early daze. Chock-a-block with explanatory photos of the Italian campaign.
