    . I would not recommend freebasing. It's very addictive and bad for your health.

    Thanks , I spent 15 years with glowing bottles Marco , it's not quite so simple a choice though ? Now that we've concluded that the Timestep mods are still available , this thread has pretty much run its course hasn't it ?

    Lol - nope...

    The original premise for starting the thread was to investigate why DC's forum has been closed for over a month, which now becomes even more intriguing since it's been confirmed that his Technics Timestep mods are still available, as presumably one would've imagined that the reason the forum was created in the first place was to act as a vehicle to promote said mods and his business in general.

    Therefore, wouldn't you agree that the site's current unavailability seems rather counterproductive to it fulfilling its original purpose? It seems strange to me that he doesn't seem to be doing much about the situation, although I have my own thoughts on the reasons for that.

    Therefore, before the thread is left to die a natural death, I think a statement on the matter, from Mr Cawley, is in order, which can be made on Mr Dunn's forum, as DC only posts there on these types of occasions

    Marco.

    Marco, the negative comments thrown back and forward between other forums and individuals seems to me to have a detrimental effect on this forum.
    Stooping as low as the likes of those on the likes of Hifisubjectivist can't avhieve anything positive.
    'Tis your forum though.

    Feudalism is a destructive doctrine. Sometimes it is better to sit back quietly and play out enough rope.

    You're right, although the worst of the drivel written there sometimes needs tackled.

    If DC wants to clarify the situation with his Timestep forum, then so be it, if not, then the thread will die a natural death

    I see , I can't see that happening ? Looks this thread will die a natural death then , I suppose Dave will probably feel he doesn't owe you or I an explanation ? It's his business that stands to lose or gain anything .
