It is with the greatest regret that we wish to inform our community of the passing of our founder Fred Zed after a very brief but courageous battle with cancer. Although deeply saddened with this sudden and unexpected loss, the Mods, Mark Service, and the new management of Terb, Merb and Perb, have committed themselves to not only carrying on Freds legacy, but to grow and strengthen the communities to even higher levels with the same care and consistency that would make our founder proud. As long time friends and associates, we were chosen by Fred to carry this tradition forward and are honoured to do so.
The recent, brief shutdown of the boards was not due to any outside hacking, it was because of some brief legal squabbling within Fred’s estate over ownership and control of the boards. The Fred Zed email, or PM system were never compromised by outside sources, it was all internal. This has now all been sorted out and the legal issues are completely behind us. The boards will be business as usual going forward. Rest assured that we will stop at no expense to keep all personal information on these sites as safe as possible. For the time being, the Fred Zed username will continue to be the main administrative authority on the boards until a replacement is made. All email addresses currently listed on the sites will all remain active until further notice. The Mods and Mark Service are also as available as per usual. Thank you and may god rest Fred Zed.
