state of the beaconworld site
« on: February 13, 2013, 0439 UTC »
Does anybody know if http://www.beaconworld.org.uk is still active as far as posting NDB logs goes?  Per the RNA NDB site, I've gone looking around there attempting to find the list I'm supposed to join to post logs, but all I get is sketchy and somewhat outdated cell phone overviews.  I've seen elsewhere that the relevant information has been deleted from that site, but the RNA site itself is still being updated with loggings.  What's going on here? 

Basically, a) the heck is with beaconworld? b) where is RNA getting their log info if beaconworld is kaput, and c) does anyone know how I get in on the act?  I've got NDB logs to port over, if so. 

Excuse the sloppy sentence construction; I'm writing while tired.

I click on the link and the site appears to have been hijacked by a cell phone reseller at the time of this posting :-\

Peace!

It looked that way to me too.  I wasn't certain if that was intentional misleading; the RNA NDB site did mention having to look around for info being part of the test for joining, so I thought... huh, could this sketchy info be hiding an Easter egg?  Guess not.
