Is EchoDrivers.com Forum Gone?

Yesterday I viewed a great DIY with pictures concerning changing the coolant on an Echo. Namely:

http://www.echodrivers.com/forum/vie...p?f=16&t=25187

Today, when I go there, I get this page:

http://www.echodrivers.com/cgi-sys/s...i?f=16&t=25187

I don't know if that means MY account is suspended, the web page account is suspended or what.

Anyone know?

The same page appears for me too, and I'm not even a member. I'm pretty sure that when it says "this account has been suspended" it means that the account for echodrivers.com with their particular web hosting company has been suspended. Perhaps they forgot to pay the bills....

They have been attacked repeatedly by spammers and such and rarely did anything to protect themselves. Perhaps it was because of this or because the spammers spoofed there site/email that caused their ISP to suspend them.

Thanks. Glad it's not something I said .

I hope it can get unsuspended, because that DIY was extremely useful.

Same here, ... glad you mentioned it here cuz I thought it might have been just me and an Admin misunderstanding or some such. I generally keep my comments pretty generic but y'never know. I hope they get over whatever happened as I also thought they contributed something in the DIY section, but there was a fairly slow traffic rate on most of the threads. I won't delete my link for awhile "just in case" , ...

It means some one has got tired paying for a website no one uses. Seems they wanted to remain an Echo site and realized too late that the Yaris had arrived, they did eventually add a Yaris section but for some reason it never caught on.
Lot of good resource material in that forum, be a shame to see it disappear. any chance this forum could take the old Echo forum on as an archive?
