What happened to the Vintage Drum Guide?

Loading...

Going to the Vintage Drum Guide yields an "account suspended" message.  Is this just a temporary issue?  It would certainly be a shame to lose this valuable resource.

Timemachine work around almost works.  Sadly, much is inaccessible.

you know, we have what, 3 drum forums?  That's not a lot. We have www.drumarchive

 www.VintagedrumGuide with the scans of old Catalogs would be sad to lose  Do what you can to restore VDG

It will be back up shortly. Busy with other projects.  Way back when I was with Hostmonster and last year they were sold to Bluehost and I have not gotten any emails from them about the account.  Sorry about that.  The forum also was having issues and that should be fixed also.

My guess and this is just a guess, is there are AI BOTS consuming all of the data and information to build up their AI interfaces.  my technical guy has determined that we were getting about 1,000 requets per second and countless BOTS trying to register to the web site. There is not much we can do, but more safeguards are being added.  Registrations will go offline completely and the only way someone will be able to register is through me directly.  

On another sad note and an FYI, there is also an exact clone of this web site under a different domain name that was created about 6 months ago.  I have looked into it to see if I can get it removed, but Google and the host are elusive and there is little I can do.  If anyone has the abilities or wherewithal to help me get this removed, it would be greatly appreciated.
