Well folks, it's been a long road and lately I've been feeling it's time to shut her down.  :-(

Unfortunately, with so little participation, its understandable. Will be sorry to see it go. Thanks a lot for for maintaining it for so long!

Yes, when I first started this was a pretty busy site. But it started dropping off and after the web site changed it dropped off rapidly. I'm sure the new guard of PMEL excellence are using other social media applications to continue communicating.

Hoopty, thanks so much for all the time, effort and money you have put in on the Forum.
I hate to see it go, but the usage is pitiful unfortunately.
Keep your gage blocks oiled and your connectors clean.
Thanks again.

Yeah, I definitely could have done more to keep it relevant... but at some point I lost the gumption and moved on to the next thing.

It was a fun project for me way back then and there are better platforms around now. With little to no updates happening, security issues crop up over time. So, I think I'll just wind her down here in a little while.

I'm moving to Portugal later in the year to retire, so you guys have fun. :)
