The HOC board is available. You just can't post to it, but you can access all the information that was previously posted in it. So happy about this because there's so much good information in there that I'd hate to lose access too. :dude
You can now post to it. But first you need to read through the new user agreement that includes all kinds of new rules. I agreed to the user agreement, and then saw that no one had posted on it since the forum went down. I think the forum is on life support at this point.
I screwed up. I cannot post to the HOC.
