[QUOTE="DarbyII, post: 27927, member: 145"] [b]Re: John Titor Research Updates![/b] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(\"Passive_Extremist\")</div> PE, We were having the Titor conversation on Art Bell's BBS "Post-2-Post". Even though the topic was started on the Time Travel Institute it really took over Art Bell's BBS. And then, over night, with absolutely no prior notice, Art Bell and Premiere Radio decided to pull the plug on P2P.

It was literally a situation where we were posting at 2:00 am, got a few winks of sleep, logged on at 6:00 am and the site was gone. Rick and I did some searching around and managed to contact both Art Bell and Premiere Radio's President, [font=Arial]Kraig Kitchin directly[/font].
