This happens every few years as the interwebz thing costs money. Hopefully it will be sorted out soon and people will again throw a few dollars towards the running of the forum.

All right, if people aren't aware, there is a Bookface group called 'Best Tuned Alfa 75 And GTV6'.

It was Zamani Ali that contacted Mike Harris about the forum being down.

Z-man just said that they are looking to either close the forum or move it to Bookface by the end of 2018.

Either of those 2 situations is unacceptable! There is way too much information on that forum to allow it to simply die.
And as for basing it on a corporate social media platform, yeah........ NAH!

So if you're not a member, become a member and contribute input and information to the forum.

Every few years the hat has been passed around to pay for the upkeep of the forum.
It is obviously the complete oposite of AlfaBB that is absolutely riduled with advertising and has owners who obviously own it for profit (Say something on the forum that may potentially offend an advertiser and you WILL be asked to edit your post or they will edit it for you!).
GTV6.com is an icon of the Alfa TA world and gold mine of information.

So get your butts over there, sign up, learn and contribute. And when the hat does get sent around to help keep it alive, throw $10 in there for 1 of the most worthy causes around. It's done via Paypal, so it's nice and safe.

I will make and effort to keep that forum alive. I only ever made one post there, but agree there is a wealth of information there that needs to stay accessible.

So official forum notification.

http://alfagtv6.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4816

So get amongst it people! Get in there and be involved as much as you can. Even just joining the forum and saying hello will help generate some activity.
Questions, contributions to threads and build projects help even more so.

1 of, if not THE best topics on increasing the strength of the Alfa transaxle unit!

It's threads like this that truly show why modest, low key and impartial forums like GTV6.com are where it's really at!
People from around the world sharing information and methods to find, understand and fix problems.
The subject may not be for everyone with a TA Alfa chassis, but for those who are want to keep their TA in one piece, this is a God send of information!
Most importantly, it shows the kind of philosophy that resonates thru GTV6.com.
