I might be careful with that. Martyn was very protective of the BB marque in any guise and has fought his share of legal battles over the years.
It might also be a bit insensitive to be seen as dancing on his grave if the poor bugger is ill or incapacitated.
Just sayin'......
A load of us are here anyway, and know a load of people who aren't. Word will go around with updates as soon as they are incoming.
im starting to get serious withdrawl at the moment, also i was in the middle of a deal where i sent a member a knife and im still waiting for the one he was going to send me, but i cant contact him, i dont even remember his username
the biggest loss of all would be to the uk knife community, as others have said its one of the most friendly and informative forums (excluding this one of course) that your ever going to find.

Got any Woodlores or Deval bushcrafters? I know someone who may be interested.Ditto
Though I'll take a boxful down to bardsters farm Saturday afternoon
Hmm... doesn't look good.
DNS is still pointing to the server, but there seems to be no server there to respond.
Even running a full scan against the IP address reveals absolutely nothing alive.
The domain registration isn't up until June 2015, but that's nothing to do with paying for the server.
Hopefully it's just a case of the server itself having an issue and somebody needs to tell the host to restart or fix it (I guess mods don't have that level of access to the hosting company(?)).
Missing BB - hope it comes back.

Yup and there's plenty alive in the same subnet so it's not a provider routing or connectivity issue.
Still down? I'll not pretend to know about servers, DNS, IP's and scanning but, as has been said before in this thread, the loss of BB would be a great loss. The resource was invaluable for skills and education but the people made it there. How many times have we seen forums tear themselves to bits because of infighting and empire building. The BB community is as good as BCUK, maybe because of the large crossover. Hoping Martyn is good as well, been concerned about him for a while.
Yep, completely agree.
It's easy for a site to be down for a few days or longer, we had the crash of....Umm, 06...I think and we were out of action for 3 months.....
let's not read too much into things at the moment and hope all's well.
Hope it aint gone, great resource but nature abhors a vacuum, if its gone its place will be taken.
I dont know Martyn from Adam but perhaps someone close to him might pop round for a howdedoo and a pint, or tea.
