Thank you, Eric.

When I got started in F-5's there is no way I could have made it without
this website and the great advice and assistance I received over the
years.

Thank you again and we all owe you a pat on the back.

Subject: [F500] End of an era - F500 mailing list

Now that the F500 community has pretty much comfortably settled in it's
new
home - the eformulacarnews.com forums, the old f500.org mailing list is
nearly silent. Last moth 98% of the posts were just spam (which of
course
got filtered fro the list - I was the only one who had to wade though
them
all). 
 
Also, as most of you know the f500.org site has been badly broken for
some
time now. It was attacked by hackers a few months ago and I've never
really
had the time to fix everything. On top of it all, the server that hosts
f500.org is getting pretty old and really needs to be retired or
replaced. 
 
So, with a bit of sadness I need to announce the end of the F500 mailing
list. The list will go silent sometime in the next couple weeks. The
website
will be rehosted on a shared server, but in a considerably trimmed down
form. Since there has been very, very little contributed content over
the
years, and I no longer have the time to author content myself, it makes
little sense to keep maintaining news, product reviews, etc. Classifieds
are
handled by the forums now, so they will be gone as well. I will get the
photo gallery back online on the new server. The server transition will
take
few weeks.
 
I will retain the F500.org Mailing List Archives (and actually fix them
so
they are searchable again) on the new site.
 
I do want to thank all the people who have made the f500 mailing list a
fun
place to hang out. I've enjoyed hosting it and do feel a bit sad to pull
the
plug. But the end of and era also signals the beginning of a new era,
and I
know that Rob Howden and his team at eformulacarnews.com will do a great
job
continuing to support the F500 community.
