CRVL Forum down for a few days

[TWIH]

not if it is under DOS attacks , NOT saying it is but that could keep it down for a large amount of time.

There could be a million reasons from mechanical failure and no redundant server to no back ups and a crash to making code modifications with no sandbox to attack’s on the server. I’m not going to speculate. I have no idea who he uses for his hosting.

From a business point of view, being down for this long is a mess, but CRVL is not Amazon. He will survive, my guess is that the forum isn’t a financial boost to his business, but his amazon affiliate sales and YouTube are.

I appreciate Bob Wells and all he has done. He may rub people the wrong way with his way of selling this lifestyle, but he has saved me thousands of dollars, as I attended the seminars in 2017 and learned a lot about boondocking. After that RTR I never paid for a RV Park again. In 2018 I wanted to pay forward my thanks for what I learned at the RTR so I volunteered to help.

Hopefully he gets it back up and running soon. His board is too big for me. I like this small and quiet one.

Since CRVL was kinda' the "first" of these forums/blogs/video self-help homebrew rv things, it did assist me. I haunted the electrical forums, learned what "red" and "black" were (ha ha) and spent a lot of time getting ideas. Have I put any of them into use, not really, but the information I gleaned is mostly still in my cluttered mind.

I left due to their mods, not Bob. 

Any forum with thousands of posters will degenerate and become a monster, I believe thats what happened there. I figured it had gotten so out of control/bounds that he shut it down to do some major pruning or something. Maybe he didn't but it needed it!
