I just took a peek on his forum, and I didn't see one question pertaining to why he didn't have a backup. [/quote]

Maybe there were posts but they were "accidentally" deleted?

BidChaser already used that excuse to explain how all the complaints on one of their forums disappeared.
"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"

"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site.
best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011

The BidZig site is MIA.  It was down last night--still down this morning--no I don't know exactly what hour/day it went down  Tongue , but it was indexed by Yahoo on the 13th. Their sitesfor.com site is also down.

A quote from the re-opening announcement he spammed former users with in November 2005:

Jason would never lie.  The parked page must be a figment of my imagination. :twistedevil:
