🤣 ... having a family does that.
I'm sure much of what I going to say has been said already but in my own review... I would say the forum closure was for the best. The market for vintage computers is getting out of hand with obscene prices that nobody is willing to pay... the eBay thread didn't help that. I also suspect there were one or two advertising their own hardware... then again there is no way to confirm or prove this.
Thirdly, it was a breeding ground for the likes of Kithylin... which spawned Jade Falcon. All the ultimatums thrown around in the end were really childish. The proclamation that the eBay thread was the best on Vogons and that was the only reason they came kind of takes a big dump on anything I, or anyone else, have contributed here. The hours spent repairing, restoring, rebuilding etc etc then taking photos before writing up the thread itself to contribute here on to the forums takes a lot longer and is of far more value than a simple click, copy, paste of an eBay link all IMO of course.
Let's get back to our roots and actually DO something with the hardware rather than trying to buy/sell it.
My regards to the mods,
