where is the tractor forum for chinese tractors

jinmared · Dec 28, 2011

where is the chinese tractor forum run by Larry Gugilotta . Does anyone know where it went.? Larry was a most excellent source of How to do it youself information.

I've been wondering the same thing myself. I've been getting the "account suspended" page for a couple of days now. I'll send Larry an email and see if he knows anything. He may be out of town though, so it might take while - he travels a lot, I know.

I think "Brad Blazer" was the Chinese Tractor World (CTW) site owner and Larry was the #1 Admin. "Biggerten" was one of the popular posters, and I've seen hin pop in here (and CTOA) from time to time.

Still shut down, I wonder what happened.

One of the CTW administrators for the site, Larry Gugliotta, has sent them an email asking what is up. When he knows, I'll know and I'll let you know.

Apparently, Proboards has decided to, as they say, "DENY USE OF THE WEBSITE AND/OR SERVICES TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY REASON OR FOR NO REASON AT ALL.....". So that clears that up. :confused2:

CTW splintered off from CTOCF a few years back, there was some sort of falling out. Lots of good info at both sites.

Actually, I lurk and read more than I post, as I find I have more to learn than to teach. TBN, CTOCF, CTOA and CTW are my tractor sites. Plenty to learn everywhere, and social aspects, as well.

And please call me Tom.

That doesn't sound like anyone I'd want to do business with. That's cockier than Ma Bell.

Sorry Tom, I knew better.

Okay, CTW is back up and running again. Nothing on the site was lost, ans I've agreed to help Larry and Rob to see that it stays that way. The issue was apparently a relatively simple one brought about by the changes that are inevitable in the internet world. Now that we know what is required we should be able to see that it doesn't happen again.
