• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Where's JT Thornton?

In another thread a discussion came up about keeping front tire pressures the same. That led me to look for JT's Dual Fill air hose. In the process I see he has not posted on SL since October 2019. His home page ad ended sometime in 2018 based on what I find using the WayBack Machine site. His store website is still alive, www.spyderstore.com, but a good many of his products come up as "Not in Stock." He had/has a bunch of neat products although some have been rendered out of date by newer Spyder models.

Anyone have any idea what his situation is these days? I'm quite sure he's still around since his name does not come up in any obituary sites. I sent an inquiry using the contact form on his website so maybe I'll get some info that way.

You know, it's a little bit sad when someone can disappear off the site and we don't notice it for months or years. Being the community we are I guess we ought to be a little more attentive to such disappearances. Unfortunately it does demonstrate just how dispensable we all really are.
 
Have not heard anything out of the ordinary. The blank out area fits right in with the pandemic time span. Maybe the business is a casualty to that???
