Conan Troutman Posted October 5, 2005 Anyone know where EBA has gone or when it will be back? I'am keen to get my hands on the winnings of a recent EBA charity auction(Lespedeza) and I'm sure my money would be handy for the site. Cheers Please come back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
occidentalis Posted October 5, 2005 There are a couple of other posts here about it. The site was hacked and the host took it down because it compromised their security. I don't think we've had any indication of when it will be back unfortunately. I miss that familiar green colour scheme . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conan Troutman Posted October 5, 2005 Bugger! No good at all! Here's hoping... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apothecary Posted October 5, 2005 The thing I miss most about EBA is the literally buzzing Marketplace. I absolutely love the EBA Marketplace I'll try and get onto eccles again soon, see if I can find out when he plans to have it back up. I've offered any assistance he can ask, but he seems content to go at his own pace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2b Posted October 5, 2005 I've often wondered why eccles does it ? He doesn't seem to post much any more , there must also be some money and time involved in keeping it running . Maybe he's just losing interest ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
genki Posted October 5, 2005 i was just starting to get into it over there (after a little while lurking), i miss the great free stuff thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gomaos Posted October 5, 2005 yes it would be nice to get some news from the people who are supposedly working on getting it up again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2b Posted October 6, 2005 i miss the great free stuff thread That's easy fixed , we just start another here I am sure no one will object. So who's going to get the ball rolling on this ? I will (I'm sure I've got some goodies arouond here that would suffice ) but i think we need to spell out how it works for those that don't know first.

apothecary Posted October 6, 2005 If that's gonna happen, how about you change the crazy format. It was hardly intuitive! How about if you have something to give away you just say "I have X,Y, Z to give away". and if you want some you can just say "I want some X,Y,Z from soandso".

AndyAmine. Posted October 6, 2005 Maybe we should start our own "free stuff thread" the nook has one I think the shroomery may have one, why not SAB? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conan Troutman Posted October 6, 2005 posted early hasnt appeared.. agreed the marketplace is a great feature of EBA but i think we could be lending or support to eccles to get EBA and running (if this is possible) cant see that it would hurt to start another free stuff thread in the meantime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benzito Posted October 6, 2005 Some good ideas there guys, but there's an even longer thread on this same topic in 'chill space', here. Let's keep it all in one place? So we can pool these ideas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
