• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Too bad. I would have liked to see him finish out the gp season. It would have been cool if he could have won the championship. Ohhh well, life goes on.
 
I don't know if it's the way it's televised or the announcing or what, but mxgp doesn't have the same appeal to me as ama racing. Without Villapoto, it's hard for me to stay interested.

I'm just the opposite.... AMA racing seems boring and MXGP is a lot more exciting to me. The passion is obviously gone, so good luck to him. I hope they don't give him a job, as an announcer for AMA SX/MX telecasts...

I like both but for different reasons. I looooooove the great outdoors but there's a lot to be said for MXin the "old country". Gives it a classic feel.
