Is something wrong with this forum?

[Greywolf74]

Im seeing multiple people in other forums saying that they cant register or access this website anymore. They are also saying that emails asking for help are not generating any responses. I can still get in, but Im not a very active member here, so I was hoping someone could give me some info to pass on to these people that are having the issues.

Yes. People aren't getting the activation emails so @1BadJeepBruiser needs to activate the accounts. This is out of our (the moderators) control.

Jato, ive also found, i cant access it thru the website. Only way im able to do anything is thru tapatalk. When id try to go to the website, it would give me a message about sitr not available. Ive just been using tapatalk, so it may work now, idk havent checked it in awhile

No idea what sitr is, but that's unfortunate. The site works for me on PC, mobile and Tapatalk.

Yep, no issues here.

[JatoTheRipper]

Good to hear!

I too (knock on wood) have no issues with website or Tapatalk. The minor issue I did have a few weeks ago when my star disappeared, Mike jumped right on it and fixed the problem.

Thanks for the responses, but how is someone supposed to reach a mod to get their account activated since they don't have an account to log in to?

Also, I get the impression that the forum owner isnt at the helm and its just a couple of mods keeping the forum afloat. Is that true?

I've wondered this for a while - does the owner even want to keep the forum going any more? I wonder if there would be any interest in some kind of take over by members who might be open to it.

[indybama]

Thats what i understand. The owners have nothin to do with keepin it goin, at this point ,its just revenue in thier pocket. Its been mentioned about sellin it, but again, my understanding is they wont sell. So the mods do wat they can, with the access theyve been givin. Its sad, theyve left us to the wolves, to fend for ourselves. It would be nice to see someone be able to buy the rights to rcc n bring this place back to life again

I get PMs from people that have not received their activation email. I forward this to Mike to handle as I do not have the required permissions to help.

There is another answer... RCCrawlerNation is born.. if the current owners have no interest in the forum, it's unlikely they would see a membership recruitment to a new forum.

A similar thing happened a few years back with a firearms forum I'm part of, the original forum was sold to a Canadian company, who had no interest in the subject matter and it basically died, about 50% of the active members moved to a new forum started and owned by the members immediately and the lesser active members moved over the next few months.

Worth thinking about.

Well that movement would stomped out here immediately.

And forums are dead so it is not likely that you could start a new site and gain a respectable number of active users nor would there be any legacy information.

I know I’m not as active here as I use to be. I still stop through a couple times a week. Having 3 kids and working 6 days a week has taken any time I’ve even thought to mess with RC stuff. Have been playing with a drift car and my senton a little bit. The crawlers don’t keep the little man’s(2yr old) attention for very long.

I will not leave this forum until this forum leaves us. This is where my RC seed was planted. I would be devastated if all the amazing info on here was to disappear. I hope they would give us a warning and a chance to figure out some way to keep it going.

Thanks to all the MODS keeping this place going!!! Great to see you back Jato!!!

Thank you, sir! Good to see you too!

I am pretty sure another mod tried to buy it, but was denied. It would be terrible to lose all of this legacy information.

Tried to go to the site online n heres the message it gave me before. Gotta love technology...
