Quoted from their website forum:
"After 9 years, 1 month, and 11 days, we had finally had enough.
Sometimes you just have to say "that's it!" We did. We decided we were
going to put up with it no more. The file areas, the archives, the
tools, the forums...gone. And 90% of it will not return. Ever. Period.
Why? We finally grew too tired of the ***ing, whining, complaining,
bashing, and so on. We work for free here. We do this because we like
to. We want to enjoy editing and racing, and when ingrates and
crybabies start their incessant griping, it gets very aggravating. We
get to where we don't enjoy this and it becomes a tedious job.
For those of you who have been great members of the sim racing
community...we apologise that we've decided to take this action.
However, all is not lost. Many of the editors and league admins will
not lose our support. We are not just going to take our toys and go
home. Over the next few weeks, we'll be bringing some stuff back
online, and the tutorials will remain up. We will put our N2003 mods
back online for racing leagues, the Ferrari 330 mod will also be
reposted.
But our focus on N2003 is gone, and will not return. We have a few
things that are still being worked on that will probably be posted, but
that will be about it. When we fully reopen down the line, it will be a
very streamlined editing-only US Pits that you see, and with tools and
toys for a much different mod...
Cheers!

I agree thanks for being a pillar of the community. Having said that, I look
forward to the forums and sites that respond to the new breed of sims.
Long Live GPL! Now let's move on.

Yikes Jan. Well, websites can't last forever, it's a shame that all the
script kiddies and other lamers of the net have pushed you that far. Just
shutting down the Forums would have been enough, no?

the links are through the pits.

Burn-out is a common syndrome in webmasters esp. after over nine
years, but why not allow some highly motivated newcomers a head start
by passing on what you've created, if you don't care about it enough
anymore? Just a thought.
All the best,
uwe

All of this will most likely be made available through various other
sites once the dust has settled, AFAIK several people have already
stepped forward, the editing forums will most likely be brought back in
read only mode once we've cleaned them up a little
