I joined it 5 years ago and enjoyed it very much.  Mostly for the trade/sell/buy forum.  Bummer.

Well, that sucks.

Maybe it's only temporary and they'll have it back up and running again soon?

Hopefully its not permanently dead...

It is alive ... presumably just paid the bill.

And it is good that LoTB is back.

Okay, been talking to the man - site renewal takes longer, because of legacy registration issues.

They'll be back!

while I'm happy to hear that LotB will be back up soon, if someone wants MY unseens, there is a small matter of a high velocity wall of copper and lead to get past first.

that, and the toe-poppers in the  yard and the razor wire over the windows.

I got a few of mine "The Easy Way", in that I bought them umpteen years ago, BEFORE they were "Unseen".  I got several, "The Hard Way", via eBay, with the normal mixed results.   #P  The rest (maybe half?) I got from either LotB or BTU, with most from LotB.   O0


Making "Connections" on LotB enabled me to get most of the MFUK minis I was needing also.   8)
