Question What happened to https://www.fordaustraliaforums.com.au/ ?

I used to be a member on that site. Was run by PaulST. Seems to have disappeared. Anybody on here who used to also be on that forum?

I was a member as well. It was abandoned years ago, once it stopped being moderated spam started appearing and now it seems to be gone.

Thankfully I managed to save my photoshopped BA Landau I did when I was in VCE before it disappeared!

I remember the forum was more than just Ford as other brands owned by Ford were also catered for in the 00s. As Ford started to shed brands FAF started to shrink.
