edr9x23super is a forum contributor
I contacted Packing.Orgs' web hosting service....

And they informed me that Mr. Solomon allowed the hosting contract to expire, choosing not to renew it. So, unless Mark decides to renew the hosting agreement with another firm, for all practical purposes, Packing.Org is no more. I think Mark wanted it that way, because I emailed him several times offering to assist him with site administration/moderation and recieved no response; I found a contact number for him via the hosting service, but the number had been disconnected. I can only assume that Mark has indeed moved on to another chapter in his life, and Packing.Org is no more. What happened at Packing should serve as an example of what will happen to any forum when proactive forum admistration/moderation is removed from the equation. I found all this out last week and thought I would share with interested parties.

Just my opinions of course
