Honestly, ......... Maybe. I'm kinda conditioned.
Hopefully this place picks up and continues as the Pirate we all have come to enjoy.
I'm a visual dude; I like pics with build threads.
Since Pirate is going to the same format as FSB, I'll W.A.G. Pirate will lose at least a third of all it's pics.
Closer to half is more accurate.
Works for me, but no new posts in about 12 hours.
ETA: Its in read-only mode.

yup
maybe i'm way off the back, but was there an update to pirate today that caused a lockup?
oh, and i like that my post count goes up in shit shat 🤡
They're doing the 'BIG' conversion/change/upgrade/update.
I think the next time we post there, it'll be with the new format.
Nobody told Greg right?
Yes, a Canuck spilled his maple syrup on the server causing a massive pirate4x4.com melt down. Rumor has it we lost greg in the ensuing conflagration.

So far that looks to be the case!
Let's keep it that way.
Careful that mothfukle is like beetlejuice
Who, Greg?
Which Greg?
That Greg???
EDIT: I'll take his bullshit over EvilTwat's any day -
- I think Twat is like that in real life, while "!!!11!!!" is just being a dick online
Looks like it's locked down but you can still load any page/topic....I doubt we'll ever see old pirate again.
*edit* glad to see that the irate4x4 link will have made it into the archive if it gets copied over lol

Yup. :(
When they recently did the "upgrade" to JKO, no content was lost . . . just the formatting, smilies, look, feel, and character

Over on FSB more than a third of the pics vaporized.
I don't get VS business model... buy a successful forum and destroy it. Am I missing something? Is there $$$ to be made in killing forums?

Web traffic. They rake in a ton of cash from advertising, specifically Google AdSense. The site itself it's worth much, but the ads probably generate in the millions annually per site for very little effort or overhead.
