    I just logged onto BROL after dozens of tries just to post the obvious answer for Bryan and that is to move off his host and convert to the latest version of vBulletin's cloud offering. I checked and his version will upconvert to the latest and they then take care the infrastructure is up to date. The only issue is getting all the data over there, but that's doable. I simply cannot understand why he's not doing it.

    Tim, I doubt Bryan will end up reading your post.

    Maybe try emailing him at his "knife email": sliceydicey75 at gmail.com

    Yes, I agree it's toast. Cannot use the PM feature on BROL at all. I thought I might be able to send some PM's to some of the members I communicate with and let them know some of us are hanging out here, but it was useless. Do not have their email addresses, so no way to communicate with them.

    I have been a long time poster on Bentrider Online with 5,701 posts there, but am no longer able to get on that forum due to neglected technical issues with the website. This site looks like a great alternative to it and hopefully will fill the void.

    I am conflicted about making a change, but less each time I cannot do anything on BROL.

    Steamer rounded me up. So if I mess up, it is his fault. Steamer is good at getting me into stuff. :)

    I see in your tagline you ride a Zevo. There is a version 2.0, or at least 1.x of the Zevo? I remember reading something about Steamer working with somebody on one but I didn't know it was finished. How do you like it?

    I guess it is SN 0002, with only slight mods.
    It has never been ridden. It sits in a box unopened, only arriving today.

    Ah nice, I'd like to hear your impressions after you get some riding time. it's a promising bike I think.

    I think today is day 50 since the Bentrider site started being problematic. I miss it and I wish Bentrider and Bryan well. I have learned not to nag him about it. It will come back, or it won’t. As Tim suggested in an email, I’ve come in to see what this forum can hold for us. You know me from Bentrider as ADC1. I think our webslinger and forum master will reset my screen name to the ADC1 name, for continuity’s sake. Not to be confused here for the “A. D. #1 Custodian” identity. I think that person IS actually our forum master - thank you for building it and for your gracious welcome.
