I directed Highland512 this way but haven't seen him yet.

I made it dont worry, I see lots of familiar faces and hope to see many others.

Hi guys, I finally got over here. I've been extremely busy at work, plus I've been getting involved with my son's tractor pulling hobby. I'll be doing my first competition pull in a couple of weeks. These tractors are kinda nuts on power, and they are nothing like any tractor I've ever been on before - and I've been on a lot of 'em!

I also want to thank Papaw for his wonderful hospitality and allowing us to convene here and exchange news. Being able to do so in invaluable!

I might just consider creating an email group on google groups or groups.io where everyone can connect via email without actually publicly sharing their email addresses. It would be a place where we can keep everyone connected without taking up space from someone else. If there is enough interest in doing so, I can certainly set it up.

In the mean time, I am just biding my time, and hope to see MG up and running again in the near future.

Terry

We need a tractor pulling thread with pictures!!!

There has been some discussion between Rusty and I about where things are going here. Rusty said a few days ago that there was still a possibility of our sites coming back online. Obviously, the longer this goes there more doubts everyone, myself included have as to these sites ever coming back. I told Rusty that even though waiting is tough, I wanted to wait a little longer. I have not defined for anyone, myself included what "a little longer is timewise" I think maybe another couple of weeks. If after that the sites are not back up then it is time to rebuild and start over from scratch. However, I think we will need to make some choices to rebuild perhaps differently than our old sites and in a way that is more secure without whatever exposure left us vulnerable to the kind of thing we are going through now.

The time for trying to wait this out is about over and thoughts of rebuilding are in my mind more and more. UB

Is the site not back up yet on the hosting side or is the issue trying to recover the data?

 Until Rusty throws in the towel, I will wait right here. I don't see that happening any time soon. Thanks for the update Buck.

If it all goes belly up, Tool Talk will adapt to fit the more varied sections GG was popular for, buy I am also hopeful it can be saved.
