Thread: Peeing in Jack's Cheerios

This was in my e-mail yesterday.

Hi Everyone,

(FYI... do not reply to this email... this is just a sending address and will not receive emails)

First I want to thank you all for the support and contributions you've made over the last 6 years. I think many of us can attest to the fact that we made great friends, shared fun and interesting stories and learned so much from each other. I also witnessed a support system between members that you almost never even see in the offline world, much less on a motorcycle forum.

I realize many of you are disappointed about the closure of the site and if I had the ability to keep it going forever, I would. Unfortunately many things played a role in needing to close it down. Some based on the fact that the tone and subject matter was starting to go in a different direction. Some of it due to some changes in my personal life that have made it much more difficult to maintain the site going forward. I realize there have also been several discussions on other forums about the closure... many comments were supportive, some were not... some were speculative about the reasons. Some suggested transferring it was the way to go, but unless you've set one of these up... done all the customized coding, maintenance, etc... you can't possibly know how complicated that can be.

I also received lots of PMs from other forums, emails, text messages, phone calls, etc... Although I tried to address it with as many people as possible, it got to be too much so unfortunately I had to shut down my PMs on other forums and NBSR email accounts.

I realize many people have pictures, information, PMs, etc... that you want to download, read, copy, etc. For that reason, the site will be up until March. It will only be accessible to logged in members and you will not be able to post, reply to posts, etc... In a sense it is now in "read only" mode. Once the site goes down in March, I will still have an archived version in case anyone desperately needs something, but I'm hoping by keeping the site up until March, it will give everyone plenty of time to get what you need.

I hope you all found quality time to spend with friends and family over the holidays. I personally am looking forward to getting back to being a rider and a member and focusing on what I love to do the most... get out there and ride.

Thanks again for all the understanding, support, patience and contributions over the years. It's been amazing!

Sincerely,

Jack (acme rider)
