CE Forum

[Engcon UK]

I just tried to get onto the forum to retrieve some historical data and it timed out. All of our stuff is routed through Sweden, so it may be just me, but is anyone else having the same issue?

I could not get on there on Saturday but last night it was working fine. Just this miniute tried and cannot get on there again.

 

[Regy53]

It’s been on and off for weeks if not months

I assumed with this place opening it was being updated but I think them thoughts are gone

Another 50p in the meter

I noticed too. Lights are flickering a bit like the end of Titanic. Sob

Don't start mourning it FFS, If anything clobber it with a rock to help it on it's way.

As some know I owe a lot to the place, but ultimately it's had it's day and this forum is the future..... a few things will be sadly lost to time, a lot of very good information, advice and of course funny moments (like asking if you'd shat in someones cab) Memories.....

Key thing to take from it is the fact that community was made of normal people with a great sharing attitude. No one ever needs to agree and the odd argument or feud is fkn hilarious. But as a collective learning exercise we all pick up information from everyone and it'll be nice if we can build the same sort of community here! there are certainly people I still meet up with from the old forum, both at shows and for some I show up on there doorstep to eat them out of house and home

Trax ever show up on your doorstep to eat you out of house and home?

Wish he would/could/had the chance. One bloke I am eternally gratuitous to and I hope to meet again in another life..... Remember one prominent chat regarding "once your dead your dead". Would of been interesting to know his view point on where we have got to with the business and the kit. Hopefully he'd be proud..... very few people who's opinions I care about.... that man's opinions/respect where/are still more valued than that of close family members.

Now look you, when you join the church of engcon with Robert you will be contractually obliged to go on a crusade to wales to convert the druid anyway

As one that could not register I am grateful that I can now join in the debate and hopefully share knowledge and experience that migjt sometime make people think I know what I am talking about. (Or simply that I can talk s**t)

He has started to create a thread on here along the lines of what he was posting on there. Always worth a look!!

What V8 had a thread???

 

[FleetEng]

I used to look in on that forum regularly but couldn't register, it was a little annoying!

 

[BertB.]

Graeme's thread isn't lost just on a different forum that everybody thumbed their nose at. I tried logging on to the BCEF forum earlier and its not working on the Western Front either.......

I’ll second that Rory, It’s up and running at the moment, be very surprised if it does gets turned off. It was/has been kept going for a reason that I don’t think anyone but Julian knows It’s been like that for years, as the few of us that kept posting on there were well aware of, and I’d be pretty sure it’ll continue to, regardless of something a lot better, and more modern has been given to us....,by Ross.

He's less than 20 klicks as the crow flies over the border from me. We could mount a dawn raid.... Can't have these cave-dwellers building false gods. We've have to show him the true path of steering control and hydraulic connectivity

I only met him 3 or 4 times but he is sadly missed. He would have been an interesting presence on the new forum and a wealth of knowledge.
