There is a new Admin at Vscope handling the issues. They all should be taken care of soon.

Have not seen the Admin over at Snowmobileworld for awhile(sister site)...Maybe getting a new admin is the reason.

I do know VS bought HCS very recently so they could very well have thier hands full over there.

Yes, VS now owns.....Snowmobile.com, Snowmobileworld.com, Snowmobileforum.com, and Hardcoresledder.com. I would speculate to say there will be more coming. We still have not seen an Admin over at snowmobileworld for some time now.. Why, I don't know. It sure makes me wonder what's going to happen to all of us, but business wise, the more sites the more advertising, the more money. It's business. Each site has thier own admin that should be able to contact VS, but that doesn't seem to be easy anymore.

Yes, HCS did get sold (I spoke to Rob about it, he now owns SledNH.com), we do have a new Admin here also. I've chatted with him once.

You sure?? I see no mention of VS on there & ODS Dan seems to still be the one making the maintenance announcements............format has been consistent since Dan bought it from Rob...........I'm still confused!!

Yes, IRS...It did get sold. I spoke with Ben at VScope today in person, and he verified it.

Hi, I believe that VS has not changed their format over there such as here and at SW so it's not as visiable to everyone. At SW it was quite awhile before they changed the format even though they owned the site.

OK....so after a little research, I found the story directly from the "horses mouth"!
This is the long, sordid story from Rob's POV..... Welcome - FreedomSledder.com

Expect the link to disappear soon....PM me for details!

This is getting ridiculous!! It is taking forever to load pages & I have high-speed cable internet!
C'mon VS, this can't be progress!! If it keeps up, I will be heading elsewhere....even as much as I love you all!!

By the numbers of new threads and replies to old threads, I'm betting that the hit/use count has crashed big time. It's just too painful to wait. I can go to another forum and see 50-100 new threads in a day, we are getting less than 10? Hopefully, the work the administrator is doing will make it acceptable, otherwise, it's wasted money on their part; no one will be on here to show their advertising to!

This site is so slow now, it takes forever to navigate through it or even reply, or what ever. What gives???? This is not happening on other sites I browse.
It took me forever just to make this reply.
