Sad 😢 to hear about this. I do know that many websites are being maliciously targeted and it is taking more time to thwart the cyber attacks than time spent keeping a website current with new information for site visitors. AE7Q is obviously done with putting up with this difficult scenario. Sign of the times, I guess.

Sad to see, but I figured it was coming. Site was a target for hackers, for some reason.

Can you please remind me what this site did? Is this the one that would list the available vanity call signs and make it easier to track and pick one?

I don't blame him one bit.

I'm retired and just turned 80. I'm the President of one amateur radio club and the VP of another. I'm also a member of ARES and participate in their activities regularly. I also edit and publish the newsletters of the two above clubs. I'm already beginning to dial back some of my ham radio activities. I recently resigned a section-level position, not so much because it took a lot of my time but because I was no longer interested in doing it. I've also, for all intents and purposes, dropped out of several ARES related nets.

Us old guys can't continue to do all the work. It's time for some of the youngsters to step up and seize the reins.

And this is why we can't have nice things! Too many in this world running amok like locust in a farmers field. We need something like the GDPR in the United States and we need CISA to up their game!
