Looks like the end:

Due to the amount of nonsense that I am no longer able endure, and a legal
threat from a former moderator, ABX is now closed.

Update: Due to implicit threats from another former moderator, I
feel I must clarify this message. Only one former moderator has issued
a legal threat.

I started abx/asusboards/cusl2c/cusl as a hobby and should have kept it
that way. I wish it was still that way. I can no longer afford the
expense, either in time or money, to endure the kind of nonsense
that has transpired the past few weeks, and beyond that, the past few
months.

If anyone is interested in purchasing this domain and/or the
related servers, software, and data, please contact me at the address below.

I feel I am left with no choice. Good luck to all, and have a nice
life. Especially anyone who threatened legal action.

No way! That's sad news. I frequent that board back in my Intel 865PE days. Great place for info. It's a shame they shutdown.

Not really something for the front page, but i'll move it to the off-topic.

ABX will open later today. It was shut down due to my fustration at the current situation and a legal threat. I was very upset at that threat and the attitude of some people who were not willing to give ABX another shot.

We are making certain adjustments to facilitate the reopening of the forums.

I started abx/asusboards/cusl2c/cusl as a hobby and it was fun that way. I want the fun, friendship, and camaderie to return like it was. To those who say it can't happen, I say we'll see.

Update: I appreciate the many of you who have sent me a note of encouragement. Your positive thoughts were an antidote to the negativity.

Cool.

ABX Zone was/is the place to go for motherboard related issues. Especially with ASUS. Kinda like the DFI-Street of ASUS. It was there I found out about the "865PE enable PAT beyond 200 FSB" BIOS hack.
