    techsconnected & copiertalk ??

    By asking this shows how I have used this site exclusively for last several years. Came across techs connected & copier talk shortcuts and when I tried to reach the site both came up as shut down. Anyone know what happen? I think one of them had been shut down for a while?

    If I remember correctly they were more private with very few members. There were some good techs on both of those sites but you would get very few replies. I do miss Smarka. That was one of my favorites.

    "Copiertalk" did close down several years ago (I believe) after a severe hack, and server troubles.
    And 'Lost in Texas' hasn't re-surfaced as far as I know.

      It was known techsconnected would close at the end of Feb. Guess they closed a bit early.

      Now there is one..... This one.

        Yep. This has turned out to be the place you can get a lot of help.

        I'll miss the techsconnected FTP site that had all types of service manuals for download. I was given user and password from the admin back in 2009 to gain access. That site is also down along with techsconnected forum. Wish they would of at least kept the FTP running.

            Techsconnected web service ran out on Feb 18 of this year. They could not find anyone that wanted to take over as the admin.
