what happened maxed-ie.net

heggie

Well ?

Jammer

perhaps Rob and Cordelia finally got admitted to the psychiatric ward? They're probably having a cry over not being appriciated so closed the message board while they're having a moan. Or maybe, its just down for maintenance.

puntosporting

They may have finaly realised how rubbish it was and pulled the plug?

louie

That board has been closed for over 2 months for maintenance.

It could be a lot of work that needs to be done, but I don't think is coming back by the look of the situation.

In the begining I thought it was just an IP address blocking situation but now that I see some other people can not access it I think it has something to do with not enough founds to keep it up and running.

its a pity, theres no other irish car board with half as many active people.

AlienGav

Do u think it's closure might be related to the closure of the motornet forums? Been seeing a fair few forums getting the chop lately

Think you'll find that CruiseIrl has had alot more car chat going on for the past 1/2 years. Maxed became frequented by quite a few who had nothing more than their social lives to discuss...a lot of 'quieter' forums have more valuable content...

AlienGav

Just an idea but.... do u think there'd be anychance of having a section of Boards.ie dedicated to modified cars/cruises? Would anyone be interested in that?

It closed because it was full of sad little boy-racers....and that's a perfectly logical reason.

Yep dude, You're absolutely right!
Boy racers are the scum of the earth!
I was thinking of a board for entusiasts of modified import cars...

It gets boring to see scornful comments like this every time there's a hint of a modifier on the board. It’s always the same, someone (usually middle aged, and drove either A) nothing at 20 B) drove a piece of crap at 20 or C) is somewhat jealous and wished he could have had that 'boy racers' car at 20

LOL ando, its so true, if you have nothing good to say then why say it.....
I dont think your answer had anythin at all to do with the question!!
