They announced they were shutting it down on Monday. Supposedly it's
going
to reopen in about "4 to 6" weeks. In the mean time they say they're
going
to "upgrade" it but they haven't decided what software because their
lawyers are looking at ways to tighten up the rules and protect them.
This
came about because they were unable (or unwilling) to control a couple
rogue
members. (One of them no longer flies and has open contempt for those
of us
who still do, and the other one was one of those who caused the demise
of AvWeb). So AOPA takes this resource away from ALL members
because it lacked the courage to deal with the trouble makers.
Unbelievable.
I'm betting we never see it again.



There seems to be a lot of that "Cowardly Lion" syndrome going around.
Maybe wimps are attracted to organizations.
