The Pits forums are down and...
The links on the left don't lead anywhere...:-(
I *WAS* thinking of joining the TPTCC league, but I guess I won't now since
some bug seems to have crawled up Jan's ass...
Jeez - who pissed in *your* wheaties?
Have you been around computers/the internet for less than a day? Shit
happens, servers crash, etc.
Not that I know what's going on, but I'm sure you'll be missed in the
TPTCC with an attitude like that ;)

1) He probably just screwed something up after an update to the page.
2) I'm sure that you not being in TPTCC will somehow diminish it's
importance.
3) Stop being a dick.

I'm not in a position to say any paticulars, yet. Jan has spoken to
TPTCC league members and given some details, but not the full story. But
I think I can safely say goodbye to the uspits as we know it.
The USPITS will not be back in it's previous form,
However,
The TPTCC league will be fully supported by the pits.
at:
http://www.tptcc.com/
If Jan wants to come on and explain things then it will clarify the
details. But this is not just some temporary hack attack.
The league is 3 races into it's winter season. We will be attacking
Estoril next.
If I sound depressed, I think there is good reason. But we also have been
given a ray of hope as well.(Jan better 'splain this, I'll muck it up)

What did they do to anyone?

This address has been permanently on every iteration of computer I've owned
since the day I first discovered it, way back when Captain Cook discovered
the east coast of Australia.
What a bummer; I'll miss that site a whole lot.
Regards to Jan and Goy and company.

If that really is the case then I must say that is quite a blow, and I'd
like to say a *very* heartfelt thanks to Jan & the others at The 'Pits
for what has been an excellent resource. It will be missed.
Best of luck Jan with whatever you do in the future, oh, and a Happy New
Year as well.

I guess it doesn't have anything to do with that big huge
controversy on the Pits boards over the last two weeks
about who has the rights to post track files they didn't
themselves create? If so then it really is a shame (and
if it is hackers then it's a shame too-either way...).

It would really be a shame if either of these scenarios cause us to lose the
Pits, if Jan's just tired of the BS and wanted to take a break who could
blame him? If a Hack attack caused this, then I can rest easy in the
knowledge that spammers/hackers/spyware authors await their own special
punishment in the afterlife, and if the sim community brought this down upon
itself, then we are poorer for it.

P.S. Thanks Pits crew, regardless of where this all goes from here.

"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"
Now tell me how I was wrong guy...

Well John...I really would like to but...that happens to be my name...and I
really don't feel like going through the legal process of changing it...
