I know there are computer problems with the site but worse that that i believe there are a lot more people that got lost in transition; When the site went down it took me over a month to relocate the site with diligent searching.
I forgot to mention that i am computer challenged but it was too hard to get on.
Not complaining just wondering how we can fix it ?
I finally got on the site by hitting ignore about 50 times when the warnings came up on the old site

How about just making a new site, don't look like the present owner is too interested.
I'll kick in a few bucks.

Hey guys hang in there its a lot of work to set up a site and maintain it . the time involved is tremendous, and that's coming from a guy that's computer illiterate.
The only reason i even brought it up is i went through the old site and read every GT-2 owners profile. that's when i realized how many I haven't seen and thought they might be having the same problem i did. finding the new site.

I know that someone other then Kyle either srtup the old site or did some work on it and now Klye can't find them and he does not have access to somethings, if I recall that correctly. It would be nice if we could just auto forward the website to here.

Quite inarticulate, Eric.
Kyle has been fostering our site(s) for decades. Auto-forwarding is called redirection and it is not entirely within Kyle's power to modify the home page.
Learn up!

I think you are being a little hard on some of us. I hope we can be NICE to each other and not be so quick to criticize. |

A major problem with the original URL <http://www.bradleygt.com/> is that it is registered as a dangerous site. Some browsers will stop dead with a dire warning when someone attempts to load it. If that status could be dropped, then a simple DNS entry might solve the problem without adding redirection to the serving page.
The DNS servers are NS1.BLUEHALO.NET 65.23.159.103 and NS2.BLUEHALO.NET 65.23.159.104
It's a real problem.

Look here MJ I was just saying that I knew there was a reason that it was not a simple correction to the old site (or in the time I have been using this site it was a newer one) to make it easier to find. There is no need to be an ass to me or anyone else we are all here for a common goal.

Eric, honestly I cannot understand how my post regarding the DNS approach can be taken negatively. Please consider re-reading it.

Okay all in an effort to help here and to stem the steady stream of emails I get every week, I am building a new site that hopefully will help out and make this easier to find until Kyle has time to try to undo the cluster that has occured on the old site. Please note that I am only doing this to try and help the Bradley community! I am very appreceative of everything that Kyle does and has done for all of us (I was one of the first members on the original site many many years ago) I am in no way trying to take anything away from Kyle or anything he has done for us. I just know that he is busy and just does not have the time. I am going to build a simple site for now that will have general info and most importantly a direct link to this board. Once Kyle gets the old site fixed I will happly forward (sorry) redirect mine to it. the new site will be bradleygt.org As time allows I am going to try and once again provide member pages also. I am not real sure how to build a database that does that but I will try. I will let you all know when it goes live.

That might help, Eric.
I have sent you the email addresses from the old Members section. If you would rather have it as a plain text file, please let me know.
A mass-mailing might help to get them back - at least those who still have the address they submitted.

some are on there two and three times.... Yes. I have a revised list. The reason some are in there more than once is because they made it that way. It is a single command to remove the odd duplicates. I have the revised list. So, is the mailing gong to happen or not? (If I should address you for this project, please let me know.) Best, MJ |
