TheHighRoad(tm) has moved to TheHighRoad.us
« on: October 15, 2008, 10:25:18 AM »
Anybody else get this in tier in box?:


Dear jfruser
 
 Welcome to the new home of The High Road(tm) forum.
 
 My name is Oleg Volk, and I am the owner of The High Road(tm).   When I started the forum in 2002, my vision was to create a place where people from around the world could engage in cordial discussion of RKBA related matters.    Since then, you have helped make The High Road(tm) one of the best places on the web for learning about firearms, for educating new shooters and for supporting effective advocacy of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
 
 Due to pending legal issues, I am moving the forum to a new home at TheHighRoad.us.  This is the one and only official site at this time, owned by me.   The same high standards of civility apply. In the near future, we will provide more than just a forum. The High Road(tm) is becoming an information and activism center for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
 
 With the help of GeoVario, our new host, The High Road(tm) is now online in its new home. The new location of The High Road(tm) -- http://www.thehighroad.us -- will serve our members while the conversion of the .org domain name by THR's former sysadmin is being challenged in court  (Copy of the complaint available: http://www.geovario.com/legal/Complaint1.pdf ).
 
 Feel free to mirror this announcement on your blog (here is a link to mine with details of this matter and how you can help.  http://olegvolk.livejournal.com/474369.html ). If you link to THR, please update the link to point to thehighroad.us  Eventually, both .us and .org addresses will point to the same site again.
 
 Thank you all
 - Oleg Volk, Owner
 The High Road(tm)

I got three of them. Does that make me special (hopefully not the kind of special that took the "little bus" to school when I was a kid)?  :laugh:

Good to see that Oleg has finally gotten his suit filed.

Seems like there is an incomplete database and no ability to post.

Just some initial bugs to work out I suppose.

THR.us is working fine for me.

Oleg should put a link to THR from APS (there is already one the other way)

hmmm, I can log in and see thread titles as normal. When I open a thread it opens up empty with no messages.

edited to add: when I log out I can read threads, logged in I can't.

Interesting.

I'm a mod on THR, and didn't receive any notification.

'Course my wife won't be surprised, since I'm always the last to know about anything else, too.

It's slow but I have been able to post.

Will the two message bases be synced once the legal stuff is (hopefully) resolved?

Does not appear they will be identical for long, seems at least 1 banned member in thr.org  is now a moderator at thr.us (Kestrall). (sp?)

Yeah, if you have them both up at the same time, it's kinda interesting (though somewhat headache inducing) to see the variations begin. It's like one a them there parallel universe things...  :laugh:

And thehighroad.us is accessible at work again.  .org stopped getting through the filter a while back.

Curious.

I'm a mod there (evidently) but I am unable to post.

I am able to read, as long as I'm willing to tolerate the latency, but all my attempts to post have failed.

I'm sure Oleg and the crew are aware of the problem(s) but I'm still having issues when logged in. When i log out I can read the threads.

This is a just a heads up since if I'm having this problem chances are so are other folks.

I got in, finally.  Mr. Volk will eventually get things sorted out there, I'm sure.

It is good to see things are progressing on the legal front, as well.  Good luck all the way around, Oleg.

Must ask: are THR.us and APS both on the same server? They seem to be having similar loading issues from my end.

Not sure why I cannot see posts while logged in over there but I discovered a work around.

I have changed my forum view at the bottom of the page from "The High Road vBulletin 3 style" to "Child of The High Road vBulletin 3 style"

Everything is normal now and all is right with the world :)

Just noticed thehighroad.org is down for maintence for adding a "spam filter".

Wonder if the "spam" they're trying to filter is a global search-n-replace for any text string with "highroad.us" in it?  :lol:

Because it's much better to simply remain quiet than to air the facts and publicly damn those who you still have some respect for.

I asked why on THR.org the mysterious " you don't know the whole story" answer  isn't given.  Above is Justin's response. 


To me, THR is Oleg Volk.  If he wanted to turn it into a Brady Campaign site, that would be his decision. 


Also, how did you all get the data?   =D
