Nothing wrong on your end...no comments! I feel homeless without HST! It looks like it was more serious than he thought or he is busy with other things.

Maybe Eric is still in Canada? It's a cool site and I'd like to see it back up.

He's back in town as far as I know. I e-mailed him last night, but no reply yet.

I do have my HST T-Shirt on now in memory... :(

Hi folks. I'm here. The answer is, you're all partly right. I'm back home now, but as soon as I got back work piled up and then I had house guests for the past 10 days. And yes, the problem was a bit more complicated than I had thought, but not something I don't think I can handle. I'm going to devote quite a bit of time to fixing things tomorrow. Don't think it will be fully functional right away, but most functions should be up and running soon.

Once again, I'm sorry for the delay...I miss the site as much as you guys. :-(

thanks for the update Eric. I keep checking to see if it's up and running. I'm hoping that you get it going again, but I'm sure the process must be very time consuming.

Finally....
Wow...sorry for the wait people. That was one of the biggest pains in my (you know what) ever.

The album and calendar are still down, but everything else seems to be back to normal.

Album and calendar are back up and working now. Still have to get the directory working again and do some minor bug ironing, but other than that we're looking as good as new.

It's a shame we lost such a nice site that was set up and maintained by Eric for free - he spent a lot of time on the site and I, for one, certainly do appreciate that. I hope the hackers are happy now that it's down.

it was a great site - it's too bad those mean hackers made it so difficult for eric to keep it up and running

it's the same with Ken's board.. bpmaniacs
i wonder if they would leave it alone if it would be a east coast site.

strange...someone needs to find a hacker buddy and find out what their problem is, why they hack the boards.

maybe they just don't like the software used.

An Update From Eric...
I received this from Eric...

Hey Mike,

"Yes, I do plan on getting things back up. Just haven't had a moment to myself lately because of work. I've had several promotions since we last spoke. My heaviest time of the year is May-Oct and during those months I'm working 18 hour days 6-7 days per week. I haven't really had any time to sit down and continue the rebuild. My goal is to have things back up and better than ever before Christmas if I can. The fall is when I'll have some more time for this. I've had quite a few emails from people asking the same question, so I assume the interest is still there.

Please let everyone know how sorry I am for taking so long and that I do
plan on bringing things back.

Peace,

ERIC

Eric, I'll volunteer to do anything possible to help you out. I sorely miss HST and believe it really serves a great purpose... not just the BP forum stuff, but the general info re High Sierra topics.

HM, or anyone else, please pass along to Eric. My email addy is in my profile, CAbackpacker@yahoo.com.

More...
Hey Wanderer/everyone,

Thanks for the warm outpouring of support. I really appreciate it...

This fall I might ask for a little help. In particular, I'm looking for good articles and good photos. I'm planning on using a new photo album script and possibly switching to a different BB script that's not so vulnerable to hackers and which doesn't require constant updates to keep it safe. We'll see... I have many more ideas, but I'd rather not mention them yet because I need to look into how ambitious (time consuming) they could be before getting you people all excited for nothing! I'm still researching my options and welcome any and all advice. You can email me anytime: eric
..at.. highsierratopix ..dot.. com with your ideas. However, it could take up to a week for me to respond, as I am very busy these days with work (sigh...).

Cheers,

ERIC
