As a potential entrant in the race (not a solo effort), I'm curious in viewing the chat forum (aka "Bulletin Board") on the adv.corp website. However, each time that I've tried to load the page I've received an error message.

Is anyone else in this same boat, or is this simply a case of operator error? I've tried using both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Thanks for any help, and also for the great resources that I've found here on this site!

Looks like their forum is down temporarily. I haven't looked at it for several months. Did you just try once, or has it been down for awhile?

I've been trying for weeks (at least) with no success.

I don't know. In the past, their bulletin board has been down for long periods of time, and then reappeared closer to race season. Maybe they're too busy to do the upkeep? When we started our forums, we were using the same software that they're using now. After a certain amount of time, we had terrible problems with spammers. It was so bad that we considered shutting down this site. Judging by when they started theirs, they may be hitting the spam deluge now. That's complete speculation, of course. All I can say is to keep trying. Or maybe e-mail Adventure Corps and ask? Meanwhile, feel free to participate here.

Update: AdventureCorps intends to have the forum function of their (soon to be revamped) website(s) up and running some time after the new year. Thanks!
