CasinoVanart.

Shut up.

It's the third largest english spud forum after Spudfiles and the dead Spudtech. It's not some 20 post thing.


It was down yesterday, Cornishtiger, the last owner had mentioned before that it wasn't certain he'd be continuing paying for the upkeep due to a substantial drop in visitors and active members.

I'd have to check with the original owner as I don't actually have CT's contact details.

Mmm, that reminds me, there was a lot of useful supplier information on there.

Dude, I agree with Hotwired. Shut up.

Many of the members there have contributed more to the spudding community then you have, so i'd keep quiet if I were you. :?

It's still around (and back up now) It was just being moved to a new server. Admittedly it's pretty quiet at the moment, but it will probably hot up a bit towards the summer.
www.technobots.com do the best value QEVs in the UK, (frankly the UKSGC shop is a little overpriced and understocked for anyone other than a total beginner, all things considered)

Yes, I am the guy that owns & operates SpudFiles (along with our extremely helpful moderators).

No wonder I didn't get a message, my account was registered to my (long since deleted) college address.

Even having that up to date doesn't seem like a guarantee, Hotwired. I've just checked the e-mail address I use, and it's definitely my main one, but I haven't had an e-mail about it.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

Yeah. I got the memo. And I understand the policy. And the problem is just that I forgot the one time. And I've already taken care of it so it's not even really a problem anymore.
