    Oh NOES! :(

    It's too bad a lot of people don't know how to get past the front page by just typing bbs.clutchfans.net instead of clutchfans.net in the URL bar. Hopefully the BBS is still here until Clutch shuts it down for good whenever t-mac.com throws down the hammer.

    Wow, that was annoying.

    I felt like I was in the middle of an Andy Kaufman skit.

    What I liked was, if I went to a cached clutchfans page to try and navigate, the site would be stuck in a loading loop trying to pull data from "rafer.clutchfans.net"

    LOL

    Was the BBS down? I was not smart enough to get past the home page without the forum link.

    Still, that was pretty funny.

    i spent about 30 mins trying to find a hidden link on the homepage that would redirect me to the bbs but i couldnt find one.

    I even checked the archives to see if people were still posting, but no one was, so then i realized that no one was able to view.

    I've heard rumors of this for months at the Stix forum -- sad day really, but it was expected.

    The BBS was down - I typed bbs.clutchfans.net and it didn't work.

    the bbs.clutchfans.net also redirected to tmac.clutchfans.net

    How did you get around it? There haven't been any posts since 9 am or so...
