I found out this morning when I noticed the "Reports of the demise of this Web site are greatly exaggerated!" line at the bottom of a Sheldon Brown page. However, I didn't start a new thread as a search pulled up an already established thread here:
https://www.bikeforums.net/general-c...y-closing.html
I wonder if there is still a way to have a thread appear in multiple sub forums? While this isn't as significant as Sheldon's passing (hard to believe that was over a decade ago, it feels like not that long), it is definitely a sad day for the community.
I've seen updates from John Allen on some of the articles, but don't know the specifics of who is running it these days.
