@Gordy some of those links redirect to this website. Look at some of the links closely and you will find ccigt
This is a community of collectors and enthusiasts of the Colt, Case, and Ingersoll Garden Tractors
https://ccigt.com/
I had noticed that. When rebuilding, sometimes you have use what you can find. The point is that there are still good people on the other site trying to make it work.
Lionel at cci is a great guy!!! All admins are and I personally invited them here, not only as regular users, but as admins as well. I have great respect for them and many of the users. The ownership should take care of them, you don't just find good people growing on trees.Gordy wrote: ↑Thu May 26, 2022 12:45 pm On the old site Lionel had put in a bunch of work awhile back to get the library working, but sometime after that some of it crapped out again. He has been back at it The last time I was there the old format was there with unclickable links, but if I scrolled down below that the new links were there.

I recently had been in communication with Lionel from CCI. He is a great guy and we were trying to get the manuals back up and working. I was downloading manuals and sending them to the CCI site for him to insert where belong. The operator manuals were the ones that were missing. He figured out that the manuals were there but they wouldn't open. He did his magic and figured how to open them and repost them which I know was very time consuming. Many people have shared a wealth of knowledge on that site. Some have left and some have stayed. I credit Lionel for keeping the site together even though the new owner VS seems to not care. They just want to make the advertising money from the advertisers.

Harry,Thanks for your help on the other site you are awesome too
I think your premium membership gets you less or no adds. But if the blocker is working that may be helping.
My understanding is that, with Google ads, one makes money only from clicks on the ads. However, you can make money with a website only from showing someone's ads, and then it will depend on whether the site software can detect that you use ad blocking, and some do. From what I've seen the parent company, VS, is quite sophisticated and their business is making money on established forums of which they purchased lots of. They bought most tractor forums, and most car forums too (my Honda Ridgeline forum for instance). It's funny to me, they're a Toronto based company, with offices downtown.
