Why did HPOA shut down? WTF happened?

 

Yeah, I noticed that also. When I went it said that the site was for sale...

Meh, never really went there anyway...

 

what was hpoa.org?

 

HondaPreludeOwnersAssociation.com

i used to only be on there for a few years, a couple good guys and some good info there....but not much...

im still sad to see it go....

 

i was on there quite a bit
(crazy93si)
hadnt had a chance to this semester because i've just been swamped...i'm sad to see it gone

 

I remember you! "I've got Mugen winshield wiper fluid." hahahaha, loved the sig man.

 

yeah i almost forgot about that....

 

i was also sad to see it go.

 

why did the owner decide to sell?

 

i think he wasn't able to keep up with the costs of maintaining the site. he added some advertisements though. and the majority of the members didn't pay the membership fee. now i'm here

 

There are still other Prelude forums. My home is AbsolutePrelude.com.

 

theres a few prelude forums, you have preludeonline.com, preludepower.com, absoluteprelude.com im sure I forgot some

 

I'm mad because I just renewed my sub 2 weeks ago. Alot of good that did. I tried emailing him to inquire about purchasing the domain, but his email address did not go through.

 

Hey Evan, Tyre......

Josh here. Well, I don't know what happened. I assume it was due to the costs and time demands, what with Aaron having a new baby and all.

The only thing that really bugs me, and I am not trashing Aaron or the site, but he could have handled it a little differently by at least letting people know his intentions.

To just up and shut it down like that without even letting the paying members know, and the moderators...wow. One thing though, the email that he has listed to sell the domain is not valid. At least when I emailed to it, I got a bounce within a minutes time as being not good on his end. huh.....never sell it if people can't reach him.

Well, I don't plan on spending much time here or anywhere else I suppose. HPOA was where all my time and effort went into moderating, etc. Just not a place or time to establish a whole new world on another site.

Good luck to all you HPOA kids and have fun while you're out there!

Josh

...I guess Snowbunny is ecstatic! heh......had to get that one in there.
