..... The forum http://www.silverwing600.com doesn't exist..... was working this morning, wonder what happened

Still not working - has JeffR pulled the plug on it?

Someone was upset that I closed off membership to the site. He just happened to be a computer expert and then "cloned" my site. I went on today and logged in and then when I tried to go back on an hour ago or so, it says my stie doesn't exist. I have no clue how anyone can just 'clone' a site when it isn't his. But he has the exact same site as mine. But he is somekind of computer Network expert and now my site doesn't exist.

He bought a SWing for $700 and wanted to join my site to get info and when he found out I closed it off to new members he was mad. He said it isn't 'right' that someone like me can do this. I was planning on keeping it open to the existing members but with all the complaining going on I decided to close it off and get rid of the complainers. But somehow the site doesn't exist anymore. Not sure how he could do this....if he indeed did this..but I also have no clue on how just anyone can 'clone' a site that is not his. I will try to get it back but i'm not sure where to even start.

But for those on this site that went to my site...If I can not get it back up, I would like to thank all of you for all of the years of being a member. It was fun and many, ,many ups and a few downs. But hopefully I can figure out how my site was deleted.

Thanks,

JeffR

Thanks for the info Jeff, let's hope whatever has happened is reversable, but if not, thanks to you & your team for all the years of time & effort you all put in to making a great site.

Hi Jeff, you should be able to retrieve your site, I believe its possible he has hacked the server your site is on and changed settings so it no longer functions. He has committed a crime by doing this and Forumotion might be interested in taking him to court.

What funky says ^^^

Jeff, there are some complete 'arses' about. Sorry to hear this has happened. If we can help you shove one up his 'ar*se' please let us all know.

We seemed to be attracting the "wrong" sort of people on the Silverwing site in recent months. Making petty and argumentative comments. One of the reasons Jeff R closed the site I believe. If this idiot got so easily offended,and was so nasty as to deny anyone else access to the site it shows that Jeff R was correct. I hope the site can be restored, but, if not, I would thank Jeff R for all the advice and knowledge I have gained from being on the site for the last eight years. (old Limey).

I hope Jeff R gets his site back, I'm not a member but have benefitted from reading many of the posts on the site.

I hope you can get it back Jeff, it's a good site.
As said above you've been subjected to an illagal activity, let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
... Lets nail the bugger!!!

Funcycowie,

I sent you a PM. Please read if you have time.

Thanks,

Jeff
