Well, it's a good question. I'm afraid I don't have the answer. All I heard was that it could be temporary or could be permanent. Maybe its causing too much server traffic?<br>

Take a look at some of the posts on PDA Buzz:<br>http://www2.pdabuzz.com/Forums/forumdisplay.php?s=5504bfe6de89d041b1c3f716ec1f19ba&forumid=58<br><br>Basically, there was a public falling-out between the site administrator (Steve Bush) and a moderator who had just quit (Mike Lynch). I suspect, however, that rather than being the cause, this incident was the straw that broke the camel's back...<br><br> -Mike

Wow, the depth of the conspiracy goes deaper than I ever knew. I wonder if its all true, Tinman has no reason to lie about all of that. The whole thing about Steve's chiropractor winning the contest twice sounds real fishey. I always thought of Brighthand as a reputable site. This is a sad day for the PDA community, scandals left and right..

Everyone, don't go to Brighthand. Can we all just let it die. I don't know why that site wasnt' a still birth, but it should have been. It's not worth us. It's completely unreputable anyway.

Biased reviews, rigged contests, degrading buggy forums [EDIT: NEW ;D], poor staff, weak news, dumb articles, unfriendly community ( "shut up Paul" ), and lots of other things.<br>So don't go there, let it dieLast modification: Moose Master - 07/07/01 at 14:48:54

Oh great. Well at least all that riff-raff is contained in one site. Hopefully it won't filter over to PocketMatrix.

Sorry randall, you (along with Chuck) have already filtered over.

Hmmm, right about now would be a good time for Moose to show us that [tilde] tattoo. It would have generated a lot more laughs, anyway.
