For the folks who've been around the Leverguns and Sixgunner websites for the past two decades, http://milesfortis.com is back, "new and improved". For the nostalgic, http://milesfortis.us is now the archive of the original site and articles.

Now THAT is really COOL...!!!!!

Thanks to all who made it happen...!

When he shut it down an opportunist snapped up the domain due to all the traffic it generated. But Miles sent yours truly the content and the .us site was setup - with the original articles. The opportunist wanted something like $2,000 for the domain name. A few years later he sold it for basically what it had cost to park it. Meanwhile, Miles was doing what Miles did best while working for Uncle Sam. He retired for good a couple years ago and has now decided to go to blogging. It's good to see him in print again.

I'm not 100% sure, but I tried to look at the info on the .410 and the link took me to a freeuk website that says the site has been taken down. Ok that's fine. BUT when I tried to get back to the forum I had to keep signing in repeatedly, took my login but would not allow me to stay logged in. I had to clean my browsing history. Then I got back on.
Now I'm not saying this website is comprised but it seems a little funny.

Miles is going through the site bit by bit and cleaning it up as he has time. Over the past 13 years or so a lot of other sites have died or changed dramatically which leads to dead links or links to who knows where. That is on the milesfortis.US site. The milesfortis.COM site is all new but the name and the man behind the name.

Been checking his new site regularly since the first post here. Today I get :

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered

Anyone else having troubles ?

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Howdy,

Yes, we've got problems. And I've got company so haven't had time to dedicate to deciphering it. We'll be back up ASAP, "P" being the unknown quantity...

Been watching daily to see if it's back up and running; just now instead of a forbidden warning, I was sent to something called 'wordpress'!

Yes, sir. We're up and running - after having to fry the whole site. But we're up and running again.
