Anyone know whats happening to The ShopTalk Forums?
 

Missing my daily fix of the highly addictive STF.

I know Raby was ****ed and wanted to pull the plug on his personal
forum, but this seems like an overkill, or is it technical/hacked again?

some server problems....server is back online, but they can't get the
software to work and don't know why....

What's he ****ed about this time?

Probably somebody took one of his Type 4s and put hydraulic lifters in them after the fact!

Nah, some geezer critized his 3litre engine only putting out something
like 178 ponies on the rolling dyno, he had been predicting close to 300
I think.

To his defense, this is the first time the engine was run, consider it a
prototype. It was set up for F.I. but was run on carbs etc....

Have no clue, but I do know that based on his attitude I would personally never buy anything from him. He's way too
arrogant for just being an engine builder.

Just an engine builder. I suppose Georgia O'Keefe was merely someone
who painted some flowers.

What is to be despised is undeserved arrogance. From what I've seen
Jake is fully entitled to his fair share of arrogance. Of course, what
you and others may see as arrogance might simply be impatience since
he already learned the hard way how these things need to be put
together. If that is the case, then I have to give him his due. In
some ways I share those characteristics when it comes to the things I
am truly expert at, but those subjects rarely come up in this forum.

"Just an engine builder"? What's a person got to do to get some respect?

Nothing wrong with being an engine builder. But, if you read some of his posts over the years I personally find them a
bit over the top.
