Shortly after I discovered Machine Builders Network they stopped accepting new members. I missed the cut. It sure was an informative site, though. Hopefully someone can point us in the right direction.

Really?! Restricted membership?!
I have been a lurker on MBN for many years, but I never post, so I never
registered. It has moved to "kramerville.net" and has only about 600 registered members.
I've been a member of MBN for several years. When they changed over to the new site everyone had to re -register at the new site. As far as I know they are taking new signups at the new site. I tried to access the old site a coupla days ago and none of the links would work. That's where most of the info is still. I'm hoping they'll have everything moved over before long. Keep trying and good luck. George

Followed the link and am able to lurk/view their boards.
Speaking of which - a couple of years ago I found (I think via a Machine Builders Network post) a web site by a guy up in a remote place in Canada who posted his "adventures" of living, working with and maintaining his machinery up there. It was pretty good reading. Anyone recall that?

I think it was the King of Obsolete. Last I heard he was sick with a virus. Last post he made was in late 2010 early 2011

Yup Joey - King of Obsolete. I think he may drop into redpower every so often.

That's strange because after searching for the site I found it again and since I was not a member at the time I signed up and got a membership right away. This was just in the past few days. It's a great site and I used to go there quite often and read the threads....well maybe not as great as this one but a good one just the same. Try it again and see what happens.

They actually weren't restricting new members. While upgrading the site and changing the hosting (and URL), they weren't taking new members on the original web site, but rather they were taking the new members on the new web site (which is the URL above).

My old login is long gone.I couldn't log in.I wish I knew they were having problems with the old format.I turned around a couple forums and I would have happily worked on that one to save it.

Well, I for one have had a situation change. I'm on a long term assignment overseas nearly halfway around the world from my shop, Camtrac, and all my other toys and tools......
The MBN site hasn't been the same since Matt K upgraded the software. Not all the archives have made it to the new site... including mine, sigh.

It really burns my @$$ up to put a lot of time in a project and posting it for it to be lost forever.I'm not as out to do long term projects anymore and post them in online forums.I have been slowly moving some of my projects over to blogspot so I have total control over my posts.It helps to have a documented project in case of future problems that need to be fixed.Some of my projects are listed in my sig line below.
