David Clifford Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Looks like the Canard Aviation Forum is down. Anyone know if today is the day of its demise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplafleur Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Mike said there was too much bickering and arguing so he asked Dan to turn it off. Don't know what exactly will happen. He may find another server to host it, and John may also continue it. It looked just fine last night. I didn't have any problem with any of the posts. I didn't look this morning.

Remi Khu Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 That's not surprising since it's usually hurts when the truth is presented. He's merely shutting it down to avoid further bad press... just another form of censorship. Oh well...c'est la vie.

CBarber Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 What a load of garbage. A few can't play well together so the entire site is shut down to the detriment of all those who can get along and just ignored or were amused by the absurdity. Geeeeeeesh.

rickh Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 so he asked Dan to turn it off.Peachy On a lighter note, returned from RR this AM (0230). Most excellent time, accomplished all I set out to do. Modem prevents me from uploading gb's of pix, but will try. Stay tuned.

Steve Innova Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I couldn't care less about whatever imagined controversy or slights occured. What I do know is that I posted a lot of info on that site, others posted a lot info, and poof -- someone gets their panties in a bunch and all that just dissappears. I want access to those old postings, but I don't think I'll participate there again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want access to those old postings, but I don't think I'll participate there again. I believe that all the old posts will be on the new server when its up and running,,,at least thats the impression I got. At this point,,,why bother. I see a lot of names I recognize from the Canard Aviation Forum from years past that left a long time ago and are here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplafleur Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 That's the impression I got too, that the old forum will be resurrected on a new server. Quote Mike LaFLeur - Cozy MkIV #1155N68ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverquit Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Well, it's back. http://www.canardcommunity.com Jon, to be fair I'll plug yours there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Matcho Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I am actually quite happy it's back online, and finally a proper domain name! My only complaint is that it sorts before the Canard Zone. I appreciate the offer to plug, but don't feel obligated. Eventually someone will refer here and vice versa. Just keep showing up here once in a while is all I can ask. Enjoy!

Nathan Gifford Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 BTW, it looks like the Wiki is going to be its own separate entity. It has all the problems Wikis have, but that isn't different than any other Wiki.
