Does anyone know what has happened to NitroExpress.com?

They were hacked and are trying to get the site back up.

Mike,
Thanks I had guessed that was what was going on.

I tried for a frustrating 2 days to become a member at that site and just couldn't get "accepted", and my emails to the head honcho (as advised at the site) never got answered. Maybe the hacking was a part of that mixed up episode. It seemed like a great site and I was DENIED! ARRGGGHHH!!

Lots of good info and people on that site.

Krakow Kid,
I had the same experience. i sor of gave up for the time being. its a nice site when its working

There is a thread on AccurateReloading.com containing factual information about the situation. The thread started as nothing but rumor. If you scroll down to the post I made, that is where fact is injected to dispel misinformation. Shortly thereafter the owner, John Hahn, started posting updates. As far as I know, that's the best info available.

Let's hope it returns soon. I miss it.

P.S.
For those who have had difficulty signing up, the problem usually pertains your email address. I have nothing to do with account approvals and don't know all the approval policies. However, I think a generic email address such as a "gmail" address, is generally turned down because of prior trouble with spammers. There are exceptions to this.

John Hahn is very busy with his "real job" as a vintner, and sometimes his responses to email inquiries can be slow to non-existent.

My only observation is: it's a good group engaged in a truly great forum, although a bit selective. It's worth the effort to gain membership.

CaptCurl - I think my situation might be even stranger than that.

When I was still working in the corporate cubicle, I of course used my PC to no end in looking up material, 95% of which was gun related. I'm going back around 7 years ago.

Anyway, at that time I was a member of NitroExpress/AccurateArms/DoubleGunShop you name it.

Well, it seems as if my "vital" electronic DNA from those days is STILL valid today.

So when I type in my name and email address (which is NEW compared to back then) I get weird messages like "subscriber linked to different email" or email address doesn't match" etc etc. You can imagine how frustrating this can be. Also, God knows what my password was back then, and I still get 'invalid password for subscriber name" type stuff.

Trapped in an electronic maze/subterfuge type situation!

Lets hope John can sort it, I miss the site, regards, Mike

Thanks Curl for the update !

It is a good forum with lots of great people on there will to share info.Well worth the effort to join.
