CB Tricks site UPDATES/THREAD MERGERS

So when did the forum go down officially? I found a link on the way back that takes you to the login screen for the wayback and tried to log in wasn't sure if password was right anyone else try this?
 
Why would anyone pay to access what was once free?

Why would you pay to access what many of us have on supporter DVD’s and are willing to share?

If someone put up a mirror site or uploaded the supporter disk content, why would you bitch and complain about that?

Forget Carmen San Diego, where the hell is Bennie Bolin?

Last but not least, who is the jackass trying to charge $40 bucks to access information they ripped off from a site? Sounds like something a radio troll would do, sitting alone, out in the middle of nowhere...


Is there anyone out here will to sell me a copy of the dvd backup for cbtricks or where can it be downloaded from?

Willing to pay and for shipping or trade an Expo 100 A kit for the cobra 29s gtl and ltd and similar chassis
 
So is this Benny putting the site back up or someone else.
In previous post there was 2 new urls so can we find out if its Benny or is it someone else?

there are no options for that and if this is Benny back up I emailed him last time to add that as many people would help to keep the site up but he never did add the donation option. So as I asked earlier dont know if this is Benny or someone else hosting the site.

It's Bennie's domain, or so says the whois report. Now hosted at bluehost.com

Pretty sure that's where he moved it when softlayer discontinued his hosting service at the end of 2018. My domain was on the same server, but moving to the new host was no big deal.

Makes me wonder if his annual hosting bill got paid a little late?

I'm a bit puzzled that his contact data is displayed in the clear on a whois query. I'm paying extra to keep mine private. Only shows a generic email addy that gets forwarded to me.

Good to see he's back.

I wanted to point this out - and let you decide for yourself.

When you use any sort of Domain main - the DEFAULT html is INDEX - that is your "home page" on any directory it is an HTML standard.

When I see INDEX2.html - it raises an eyebrow.

Bennie locked his site down...he used Default INDEX(-X) - for any page of his work.

To see INDEX2 signifies one of many or several things concurrently...

Bennie, is unable to UPDATE the home page so therefor the INDEX file that is supposed to be default is not what the host wanted you to see.

Bennie is either not interested, or lost an ability to keep the keys - the Passwords - to the site and so it is now free domain but to change it's original INDEX page would certainly be caught by others.

When his originals were done and the Home Page worked with his original host site, the entire site and it's domain were under an umbrella of the Host itself, so all indexing of graphics and orphan files are within the hosts' own domain.
  • You didn't have - Orphaned files...

His original he uses INDEX-2.HTML
This (per thread) sites' uses INDEX2.HTML

So you have been warned...
