ZackJones Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Last time it went offline was because they didn't pay hosting fee. I just looked on FB and didn't see anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slemmo Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 It was hosted on invisionpower, so if the accounts is suspended then someone who ran the site probably closed it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Funny, I think I only visited the site a few times to see who was bashing who at the moment. It was pretty out of control and kind of dumb. Now, I would really like to be able to access it just to see what took it over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I only went there to talk about sarge. I suspect it is something clerical. Nothing interesting was going on before it dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasley Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) I used to belong to a message board that would frequently go dark towards the end of a month when they had used up their bandwidth. If Ben doesn't feel it is worth having that is cool but it would be nice if he would announce that it is gone for good. Edit: if it is gone for good.

AJE Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 He put on Facebook that it was. I liked reading there when I was bored but there wasn't much that was worth posting about except things like the cheating scandal last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Stoeger Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 If Ben doesn't feel it is worth having that is cool but it would be nice if he would announce that it is gone for good. Edit: if it is gone for good. I have been posting updates on facebook. As things stand now I anticipate the forum returning to operation with all the data intact withing the next 48 hours. The hosting has been moved to an offshore site. The host has assured me that they will discard any frivolous legal threats they receive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beastly Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) From what I can tell: Brett Russo, currently employed as the Social Media Director for Blade-Tech, was personally unhappy with some post on the Doodie Forum (surprise surprise). Brett failed in an attempt to coerce Ben into erasing it. Brett then decided to escalate by threatening the hosting provider for the Doodie Project and was successful in getting the provider to take the entire forum down. Ben published Brett's communications and threats on The Doodie Project Facebook page. The howler monkeys from Doodie Forum and The Doodie Project are now very angry, and Brett is getting howled at and pelted with a lot of Doodie. Someone (perhaps the Social Media Director) has been cleansing less than positive posts hitting the Blade-Tech Facebook page. Good drama, but an employee taking down a competitive shooting forum - even Doodie - is definitely the kind of negative publicity / social media exposure that Blade-Tech would be wise to avoid.

Kind of like this forum should avoid people trying to destroy a man's livelihood because he didn't like a particular gun builder on another forum?
