When I first put the forum and the wiki online I asked for help, and 
received it,

As time went on it was painfully obvious that there was was a lack of 
interest and support
as indicated in my statement above.

As the level of spam increased, it took more time to maintain the 
forum and the wiki....and quite frankly it
was not worth the effort. We did not give notice, as there was no 
support and little expressed interest
from the outset

Just as an aside, I maintain a web site, forum and mailing list for 
R.L. Drake users.....the difference in participation,
help and gratitude is like day and night.

It was an interesting experiment....and like many things, it did not 
survive in the market place.
