Terry T Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Does anyone here know what happened to the JOT site? Each time I try to click on the site I get "Service Unavailable". I know there are a few of us here that are also over there. Not a lot of those guys are Facebookers so it's hard to reach anyone off the site & it's been so long since I called/text any of the guys I'm not sure I even have good #'s for them.

Freightrain Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Ya, I wondered what happened the other day when it came up "lost"! The new server crossed my mind.

doubleclutchinweasel Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Still dead. I don't have personal emails for any of the guys over there. Maybe some of you can contact Jeff?

Jeff Lakaszcyck Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 The problem with JOT is that the server is down. Earlier this week I got the latest update from Eddy. The programmer, who is in England, had finally contacted Eddy and said he (the programmer) was working on the problem. Apparently we share the server with some other forums and they are down as well. I don't know how much longer we will be down but it has already been too long. Thanks for everyone's patience. Brocky, it has been about 40 minutes since you posted, and through the wonders of cyberspace I have not received your email yet. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72722-just-old-trucks-forumwebsite/#findComment-530850 Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I don't know what happened to the JOT site, but this reminded me of another website that I miss a lot- Hank's Truck Pictures. I used to love to get on there and look at all the truck pictures, especially the old ones. Hank's was no surprise though, he said he was going to shut it down. So many people shared so many of the pictures on Facebook that he said there wasn't much point in it anymore. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post High Binder Posted June 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2023 A lot of the forums are going away due to cost of maintaining them, the number of participants declining, and social media. JMHO is that social media is the culprit and it will be the downfall of our country. I hate to see the forums totally disappear due to the wealth of knowledge that's lost forever. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72722-just-old-trucks-forumwebsite/#findComment-532736 Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Binder Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Brocky, I remember very well. I jumped from the ATHS to JOT when Eddy first brought it online. I was an ATHS member for several years and finally got aggravated and didn't renew my membership. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72722-just-old-trucks-forumwebsite/#findComment-532759 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I have been a member of both, ATHS & ATCA for the last 20 years. About the only reason I stay with ATHS is because I am an officer in our local chapter, Palmetto Upstate. Our chapter is active on the local level by piggy backing our shows on local Farm Days shows which is a win-win situation for both of us, they take care of all the presenting work and our trucks help with advertising which helps draw their spectator crowd to support their charitable donations.
