that forum gained popularity, i remember it had almost 1000 members in a month or so and like 50k posts. They sold major advertising space and made money, people assumed thats where they got their money, A day before contest finished, guess what, the site said "page cannot be displayed", I doubt it was just me because i tried it from many other computers, Didnt know anyone on the forum outside of it so no way of knowing.

Just to share some exp with you guys about this.
