It works fine for me. The newest posting was last night after your post. Maybe someone has a bad link.....

Don hasn't sold boats etc. for years. Doug Twaits has been running the RRR store.

The site hasn't had much traffic for a long time. I would expect Don to shut it down sometime. That would be a sad day for us old timers who remember it's heyday as the premier FE website........

RRR was a amazing place to learn about building wood hydros. The quality of the boats in the build contests was top notch. It would be a shame if all those threads disappeared. Maybe they could be archived here on OSE forum?

It is a shame that it has been reduced to what it is currently.
Anyone remember who said this (edit), on another board.

"It is due to the historic lack of adequate moderation on the Red board, where most FE boaters "learned" to play together on-line. A few posters there realized that there were virtually no consequences for bad behavior, bad manners, poor judgement, etc. so they indulged themselves like spoiled children. They then brought those practices to other boards, with predictable results.

There are threads here that should have been deleted by moderators right after they started, with warnings to those who behaved badly. Those warnings need to followed up with suspensions if the violators repeat. That is the way to stop bad behavior, a firm stand and zero tolerence. Few moderators will do that".

Traxxas forums have no problem doing it

Neither does OSE.
