I feel like I am getting a run around. I got a message back that they had asked for input on the new site for years but I didn't respond when I had a chance. I never saw these requests, but once I did write to an executive director asking if I could help out with the website and was told they didn't need my help.

Just about all the links to the site you find by doing google searches are broken. So I can see that restoring the forums would not be high on the list but it looks like fixing the broken links to their main draws on google isn't on the list either.
