There may be another motive for shutting down the original forum: Mat and Harry posted numerous times eschewing any sort of digital electronics, digital readouts, closed loop feedback, tachometers, speed correction and BLDC motors. Two years ago, they came out with the HW40 which uses digital electronics, closed loop feedback/speed correction and a BLDC motor. At CAF last year, they showed a new motor controller that uses all of those things. I think the old forum became an embarrassing display of hypocrisy that would make promotion of their new products difficult at best.
