    :( For the past couple of days devhunters.com has been off line. I had close to 200 post there.

    That sucks, I haven't been there in ages but I had about 75 posts there as well I beleive.

    Wonder what happened, or if the owner wants to sell >.<

    When doing a google search for "webmaster forum" - without the quotes - devhunters ranked on the bottom of page 1 to somewhere on page 2. It was a decent forum, but was getting over ran with spam and useless post.

    www.webmasterwidget.com was a nice one, too. A little while ago, it got sold, and was closed down a few days later, and has been ever since. :shrug:

    Yea that sucked to, WW was a decent IPB based webmaster forum (I loved their skin). I can't beleive someone paid that much money for it and shut it down or botched the move.

    I agree. I really wish I had that kind of money, and I would have bought it myself.

    I was a member of devhunters since 2007.
    (Though I had only about 10-20 posts to my credit)

    Was the Forum sold or did the owner simply close it down ?
