I had been a member for about 4 years (since it started) and, much like this forum, it had grown to be a vast repository of type specific knowledge. Also like this forum, it was largely populated with very civil and helpful participants. Then one day, it disappeared.
Over those four years, the participants had contributed so many "how to" articles that it was difficult to find a problem that hadn't already been addressed. When the site reappeared in a few weeks, it was a clean slate. Very disappointing.
I never did hear what was ultimately the cause of the "reset". After considering all the time and effort I'd spent contributing to the site, I just didn't feel like starting all over again and moved on.
That forum actually gave a few weeks warning to back up anything on there you wanted -- but of course I didn't. I just now got around to recreating the main "how to" post that I did over there. But the forum is still a shadow of its former self.
