Unfortunately the previous owner (Bill Yoder) of diamondtclassics.com let the domain registration lapse and so the domain name diamondtclassics.com was lost and snapped by someone else.
I was unable to get ahold of Bill, but several members of the community have approached me recently and asked if anything can be done about this, so I have gone ahead and registered diamondtclassics.club.
Why did I do this?
To be honest, I don’t have a rational answer. I don’t own a Diamond T Classic. I have no commercial interest and nobody is paying me for the domain or hosting. I have however invested a lot of time and effort into helping out on the website in the backend, did not get paid for my work and I hate to see the community disappear for good. Further on, when rebuilding the site in 2014, I noticed there were a lot of people who put a lot of love into their trucks and this is a valuable place to exchange knowledge. I can’t let it go like this.
Who am I?
I was the previous host for diamondtclassics.com. The site came to our hosting when I was involved with the old software powering the site. In 2014 my wife and I helped to convert the site to a new platform. I have an 8 year old son who loves the photos of your trucks.
What will happen now?
To be honest, I don’t have the time to work on the editorial aspects and sanitize the content of the site. I can help to keep the technical aspects up to date though. We need more volunteers! Everything can be managed from a web browser. If you’re interested to help, please leave a message under this post!
