Spoke to Steve this afternoon, he says he can't log on at all, and can only view the forum as an outsider.

He said he wants to tell everyone hi, and that he isn't ignoring anyone, as he was in the process of PM-ing many when the site pooted and knocked everyone off.

I think IB finally made our site more exclusive, though -- as he used to taunt us that we needed a VIN from an AMG in order to play with all the cool kids on AMG's private forum.

So, clearly the reason he can't log in has nothing to do with site issues, server farts, etc: Steve simply needs a Crossfire VIN, and sadly he's driving an old Mercedes so he doesn't have one.

It's a shame he was never able to run faster than grip-grip in the 1/4 mile before the site locked him out. Steve will be missed.
