If that's the same one I'm thinking of, I found and bookmarked that board recently. And on Saturday I first saw the disabled message. But not much seemed to be happening there. Mainly intercst posting articles from the press.
If you had the old site bookmarked like I did, it looks dead. But click on the "Groups Home" button on that notice page. That takes you to the MSN Groups Home, where you can search for the new replacement board of theirs. There you can read why their plug was removed from its receptacle.
