Dunno about the rest of you but on the bright side, lack of looking through the classifieds is probably saving you all a fortune
You'd think
It wasn't meant to be insensitive or in any way stealing the BB thunder, just a way for people to connect and get updates on what's happening.
I too hope Martyn's ok.

I was being good...I was only doing a trade (for a lovely orange Serrata) and now it's broken (the site, obviously), probably out of shock.
Martyn hasn't been there for his own reasons for a long time. Perhaps he's sunning himself on a tropical island and won't discover the site has gone down until the drinks with the little umbrellas in them stop coming.
The problem is that so much will be lost that is written there. There are so many wonderful nuggets of info that have taken years to accumulate.
I lost my forum to enthusiastic malicious hackers last year.
There is ( and there will be ) data stored all over the place that was on BB - anyone checked archives?
It's the structure that will have been lost.
Iv been a member for years but some of you guys have 10+ years under your belts , it would be a shame if it was just let go but I don't know the cost of running something like it ? , I feel for the makers and even when using google for reference I can't get into any historic pages :-( .
We are all speaking with great finality as if it really has gone and there's no prospect of a return, I doubt greatly that it'll be gone forever, it will be back when Martyn gets back in the game and sorts things out.
But as he hasn't been on since Christmas and is radio silent that could take a while.....
Well heres hoping its like Fluffy says and the fecker is off on some sunny island drinking cocktails lol. Besides i was really getting an itch for a Fallkniven or two hoho!
Doom and Gloom is pointless and i'd much rather read about how great British Blades is and we're looking forward to it getting back online...
Anyone is welcome here in the meantime, it's no where near the same I know, Martyn has created something special and it's being missed, it's also an opportunity to catch up on anything else in life that's important, extra time with the kids, family, working on a project etc, use the break as a positive thing, I know it's not the same but hey, it's an opportunity as well as an inconvenience...

No need to panic just yet folks we are working on it
That is very good to hear indeed.
If you need hosting or anything technical I'd be more than happy to help.
Indeed. There are also lots of things to spend money on here too, some of then aren't even made of metal!!!

That'e encouraging. Fingers crossed!!
I entirely agree. BB is the best thing since sliced bread. ... Wait, it's better than sliced bread because we can't slice bread without a knife! Which came first, the knife or the loaf...
BB is great (as is BCUK of course, not forgetting where I am) and I bet it will be back (thanks Rapidboy etc) but even if not, life will go on. With BB v2.0 I expect, lol.
In the meantime, here's my tip on how to avoid getting lost when out in the bush (er... hills and dales really I suppose)...
... simple, just never plan to be anywhere in particular! It's always worked for me.
