Arboristsite had a lot of good info at one time. Seems like that "linkbucks" issue/hack really screwed some things up though.
That marked a turning point where a lot of the "old" crowd left. But it wasn't just Arboristsite - there was a severe uptick in organized hacking campaigns that changed the entire internet. Asian and eastern European criminal gangs started focusing on forums, bulletin boards, web dating sites, and community pages. Some of the forums went offline forever, like a great Yamaha forum I was a part of that had tons of valuable information on the older bikes posted by members. There was a lot of organized eBay graft happening then too.
