Has BroncoII.org Forum Shut Down For Good?

For about 2 months now I haven't been able to get to the BII.org forum. All I get is a white screen with this gobbledegook:

8192: preg_replace(): The /e modifier is deprecated, use preg_replace_callback instead
File: /home1/broncoii/public_html/forum/Sources/Load.php(198) : runtime-created function
Line: 3


Tech library and stables are still there but no forum. Anybody here know if Pat shut it down?

How about it? Can anyone else get to the forum? I still can't. Anybody got a new link?

Have you tried the "contact webmaster" link at the bottom of the site pages and asked?

Brian has limited web access from his home (mobile only) and doesn't know what broke on the forum or how to fix it.

I haven't had a server log in for about a decade.

That's too bad. Hope he figures it out. I'm betting if he contacts the folks he pays to run the server they should be able to help.

Does anyone have spare time (haha) or knowledge to be able to contact Brian and see if he could use some help - or maybe someone to take the website over?
There is an awful lot of good build/rebuild/repair info there.

I found that Brian had posted at:
broncoii.org dead?! - Page 6 - The Ranger Station Forums

He took a bad fall off a ladder a year ago and really could use some help to get broncoii.org working again.

Does anyone have the ability to help?

between myself and two close firends, we own 1994 Explorer Sport 2WD, 1988 Ranger extended cab V8 conversion 2WD, 1993 Ranger Splash and other interesting projects. I've owned two Bronco II's which started it for me and ultimately got me into the Explorer Sport.

It's a shame to lose a forum with valuable resource information from back in the day. I'm not a website, forum or software techie type of guy so I rely on those of you who can keep these forums running for all of us.

If someone can get this going again, those of us who use the resource would be grateful even though our Bronco II's and first gen Rangers are dying off.

Good luck and many thanks in advance to whom ever can get the Bronco II forum going again.

Pete

The address now is a web page with information about a San Antonio mobile mechanic and some airplane info. I'd say it appears somebody bought the domain name and is using it for something else, in other words, the original broncoii forum is gone.
