Here's the scoop on PT:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Brad Zimmerman, aka 95PGT, had this to say about PT:<BR><B><BR>I've emailed damon to tell him to bring the server home with him <BR>tonight hopefully. And we'll be moving the server to an ISP i've <BR>found. <P><BR>More details to come ... but PT will be down untill damon can <BR>transition the server to the ISP. <P>ONCE that happens PT will be back but the link wont work untill the <BR>DNS gets changed. that will take a couple more days ... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE></B><P><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Damon Tolentino, aka dmark101, had this to say:<BR><B><BR>i've been hearing some disturbing things over the past few days and <BR>it has been at the forefront of my thoughts as well as upsetting me. <P>there have been some rumors started by a few individuals who THINK <BR>they know all there is to know about what i going on in the 'small' <BR>world known as ProbeTalk. <P>i'm here to say that NONE of you know what is going on with <BR>ProbeTalk. there is only ONE person who does: ME. <P>let's get something straight right now. i left ProbeTalk a few <BR>months ago due to the way that things were being run, the overall <BR>degradation of quality posting, and the rising immaturity level of <BR>the members as a whole. <P>i came back to ProbeTalk to help bail a friend out of a tough spot. <BR>no one asked me to, but i did it anyway. many of you were typically <BR>shocked that i was back, including the person who had proclaimed <BR>that he was the 'king' again. <P>well, since i've been back, i'm being reminded on a daily basis why <BR>i left ProbeTalk. Things have not changed and i truly wonder if my <BR>coming in to save PT's arse was the best thing to do. <P>in light of these things, i neglected my duties on FordForums. this <BR>site caters not only to the niche that is ProbeTalk, but to all <BR>makes and models of the Ford family. THAT is why i came to this <BR>board in the first place. that is why my club's forum is here and <BR>will remain here. that is also why i prefer coming here over <BR>ProbeTalk. <P>the denizens of FordForums are much more calm, collected, and <BR>mature. their postings usually offer good advice, help and <BR>encouragement, and make me feel glad that i own a Ford. it really <BR>annoys me that some people have decided to toss rumors about <BR>concerning why ProbeTalk is offline. <P>ProbeTalk is offline for one reason and one reason alone: hardware <BR>failure. i was not aware of the situation until yesterday. when i <BR>arrived at work this morning, i ascertained what the problem was and <BR>i have initiated steps to restore your 'beloved' ProbeTalk to you. <P>the hardware failure was caused due to the inclimate weather <BR>southern california experienced on saturday 11/24. at a few pacific <BR>bell junctions, the t1 trunk was completely submerged in runoff <BR>water. pac bell has been working non-stop since sunday morning to <BR>remedy this problem. i have just spoken with one of their techs and <BR>we should have service restored come morning. <P>so, there you have it. no rumors, no hype, no 'hacks', no 'virus'. i <BR>think that whomever started these rumors is stupid, plain and <BR>simple. instead of finding out what the problem was directly from <BR>the source, they decided to perpetrate unfounded rumors in an <BR>attempt to get a rise out of the entire probe community. <P>so, when ProbeTalk comes back online, you will be free to leave. i, <BR>for one, will not shed a tear. instead, i will be glad that you will <BR>be gone. it's sad that one site's problems led some people to visit <BR>FF, which i think is a great site. great enough to warrant visiting <BR>on its own merits. <P>next time, use some caution when you decide to post things that are <BR>obviously unfounded and untrue. if i see any more rumors concerning <BR>why PT is down, they will be removed. <P>instead of starting a rumor, try asking me why there is a problem. i <BR>host the machine, so it is i that would know why the site is down. <BR></B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>That help clear things up?

Damon is actully a really cool guy. I like Probetalk alot also. I know of a little bit of the stuff that went down, but I don't care. I met Damon last summer, drank with him, had a fun 'ol time!<P>But I dearly love Probetalk. I'm member number 24 and have loved every year of it. I hope it is back up soon.<P>-Sweet words by Benjamin Christensen-
