It's not just you,I can't find any links either. It should be a pretty good site when they fill in the blanks.

No luck here either. When you register, they ask for a user name but no password. Thinking they would send a password to me, I checked my email. It just said password: "". I guess they just aren't up and running yet. Looks like good info though!

[Frosty]

No luck here either. Well son of a gun! I used this site quite a bit before. I kept meaning to post it here but never thought of it when I was online until I saw the post for the other board.

But it used to be full of information, maps, etc. Maybe the site is down right now.
