I've just tried it and it's no longer loading for me. I stopped visiting it about 6 months ago now, as it was rare to see any new posts.

The url still points to the same company as 123macmini it's just on a different server. So it's still a registered URL

I'm surprised the admins didn't just divert the url to here.

We are in the process of merging the sites and adding another URL/domain to the mix. There will be more news about this in the fall, as well as a minor redesign. That's all I can really say now, because some of this depends on Brian's recovery. He's been quite sick for about the last year and a half.

He had to have emergency surgery on his heart and then got a secondary infection that almost killed him. I don't know all the exact medical terms, but it's been a really tough road for him. Not to mention a really expensive one. In fact, Charles and I have been thinking about starting something to help him out. Maybe like a donation website or something to let people know. He has a lot of friends and contacts in the Mac community that I'm sure would like to give him some assistance in this time of need. He's also just a great guy.

I hope he gets better soon!

Thanks guys! I will spread the well wishes on to Brian.

BTW: We're also thinking about selling some older hardware and donated accessories in the classifieds section. That might be a good way to start too. Don't you think? Do you guys have any other ideas?

I'm really sorry to hear Brian is still unwell. I thought he was on the mend the last time you mentioned it.

Yeah, it really does stink Cypher. I think healthcare should be treated as a right, not a business. Heck, even with decent insurance you can get wiped out. It's just a shame.

We are going to try and help though. Even if it's a small dent, it's something.
