Is macgregorsailors down for good?
- Thread starter TortugasRoyal
- Start date
Hard to say?? The board runs on some pretty old software and maybe that is becoming an issue, but that is merely a guess. The other is that it is a lot of work maintaining one of these boards and maybe that has become an issue. Also there is considerable expense in hosting boards like this in server fees alone. I pay over $300 a year out of my pocket to keep my site up on the internet and at some point that will stop. At least for now it says "down for maintenance".
I obviously post on both boards and read both boards. I'm all for gaining knowledge anywhere I can get it and this and that board have been great resources for me, so hope that both stay up and healthy for a long time,

The admins from macgregorsailors have repeatedly posted elsewhere that the forum site is not down for good. There were some issues and the owner just hasn’t hasn’t had the time to get them all cleared up. They assure us it will be back...
I know the feeling, cuz my lower unit is off and i don’t have time to finish fixing it at the moment. Bummer.

Just did a search on face book.. looks like the power sailors are alive and well on FB posting lots of pictures. That "other" forum was very dependent on photo bucket which somewhat went away taking a lot of useful visual info with it. Maybe FB is now the Mac power sailor place to be.. dont know.
I'm here too.... Need my MacFix ... I'm suffering bad!!
AU is Australia and Gosford is in New South Wales.
I tried to amend it in my Profile but can't seem to edit it??

Thanks. Never gotten to your fine country. The closest I got was South Vietnam back in the late '60's. We did serve with an Australian frigate, the HMAS Hobart, if I remember correctly. I do remember her call sign was "Royal Purple", and I really enjoyed it when we had radio transmissions, what with the Aussie accent, and all. Boy, were they professional. A total class act.
