I got an email about this... well, Im not a regular visitor, cant remember I had an account there...

 

[Let it burn...]

yeah, it sucks. I'm an HCFX regular

 

[Let it burn...]

damn, this downtime is lasting long

 

[Wolfeman]

I remember the first time this happened. When the boards finally came back up, the interface was changed, and everyone lost their precious 10,000 post counts.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Yeah I'm waiting for it to come back as well. If I lose my post count I'll just change my name and not care.

 

[Harry Hughes]

Heh, I forgot I even had an account there, but I got an email. I must have made an account and never posted.
Lots of retarded crap posted there, but in between the garbage is some genuinely good advice and info.

 

[DanLights]

I got an email too, I post there once every new moon (gay movie reference), but the site is pretty cool

 

[Let it burn...]

But you guys all hang out at the amp forum?

That's like, no-go territory on HC

 

[JBroll]

It's as if nothing useful or relevant at all cried out in terror and was suddenly silenced...

... wait, drop the 'as if', that's exactly what happened.
