I guess there's not a lot more to say. It has to do with new Google procedures concerning ad revenue. These forums are so important to me, I don't know what I'd do without them.

BG, I left you a post on your FB page regarding the idea of starting a new Hayabusa forum maybe with format similar to this one...pretty much the way this site got started with old members gathering at the new site. Is it a worthwhile prospect or do you think it would make more sense to simply migrate to a forum that already exists? Hayabusa.org will be gone but there has been another forum called SuzukiHayabusa.org for some time. That would seem to be the most logical new home for busa enthusiasts but I would consider putting my time into operating a new forum if that's necessary and possible.

Really bummed to hear this. I just recently acquired one I'd built for a friend that passed away. I've been gathering a few parts needed and had put some stuff out on the site with zero responses...

well, keep an eye on the org, I expect someone will suggest A new forum to take up residence at. I'm going to check out SuzukiHayabusa.org this weekend.
