Anyways, not looking for a vacuum of power. Y'all decide what you want to do and run with it.
Thanks to everyone involved.

I have seen in several places where groups or people are trying to become the new cbtricks, so that's what I mean by a power vacuum.
The community put its eggs in one basket and the bottom just fell out of it.

Eggs in one basket indeed..
I feel lucky to have the archive that I downloaded at this point. I think the lesson learned for starting such an expansive library of radios in the first place should involve at least two people at all times as CEO’s if not more. I don’t know this Bennie guy and I probably should, but it’s ridiculous for one person to run the entire show. If it were my site, I would try to protect it in case something happens to me. One would think, dropping out without a word, and leaving everybody scrounging around for archival data is not a legacy anyone would want.
Well yes i saw someone post the site is about 14gb big. I have a site that allows 10gb of sending files so it could be broken up into approx 7gb each and then send the files.
We just have to find someone who has a hard copy of original site and not the archive site.
I believe that’s what the link is that’s posted earlier in this thread, a zip or something of the supporter disk.
I got an email back from Bennie and here is what he said in the email. I told him to please add a donation area so we can all help out, even $1-$5.00 will help. If you all have used the site and know the valuable info there, its a great site so when it comes back lets all try to help out

I am in the process of moving it to a new server.
We have been with the same data center for the last 14 years and the server bank we where on is being retired.
I was hoping to have it moved before the shutdown but been too busy with home stuff and the date got here tooooo fast.
A friend is helping and we are moving to a new service provider to cut our cost and hope to have it up soon.
We hope to repair the forum too.

Man is sure to hope that it comes to fruition, after the initial crash happened there was word of it being repaired but its just stayed on autopilot since then.... Almost 2 years now! Hopefully it's spared from death, lots of good info throughout the forum as well. Man it's a gold mine you just can't find anywhere else.
If the site is fixed - great.
But from what I have read this is several years in the making.
Fingers crossed.

For the ones like me that work around the clock and don’t have time or enough money saved to take time off to go to a tech class, cbtricks is a life saver. I’m no tech by any means but I love to get old radios and get em to work and without forums like this and cbtricks, I would still be trying to find the power switch.
