Apparently somethings going on with Barntech as the alternative forum is gone. I can only hope the bad news ends with the website and that nothing directly occurred with those directly associated with drillbit systems.
I wouldn't worry too much about it. The website is still up.
Maybe they are having hosting problem.
I think they are just busy with other things in life.
Exact error message:
