I share your un-easiness Gunnar. I fear Sharp did not get the contributions/funding he needed to keep the forums going and he pulled the plug. I am hopeful this is not the case. Someone on another forum mentioned they may have been hacked and in that case, Sharp may have been forced to implement a more robust forum software with anti-virus and more secure system. That would result in a very lengthy and convoluted conversion process. I'll keep monitoring to see which turns out to be true!
