I don't know how long it takes to do maintenance I am guessing the site have been down for 24hrs now, maybe I am mistaken and I can't call it officially but maybe time is up we had been warned for at-least a yr and a half now if it is dead my question to all the participants is what did E/S meant to you especially during it's golden yrs.

I liked ES because it was a place where you could engage in a debate and not fear being banned when you were winning.
I learned a lot from Iron Lion, Marc ,Wally and Mike. Wally's discovery that Egypt was a Pan-African Civilization and many parts of egypt had/ were names of West african ethononyms is the most important finding in Egyptology since the work of Diop in my opinion.
I was also happy to learn about genetics. It has peaked my interest and offers another opportunity to confirm the four paradigms of ancient afrocentric history.

Well Dr.Winters like E/S one should not fear being banned for ones ideas,here on ESR debates are welcome but bad manners is frowned upon, and spamming is a no no, for example you and I had difference of opinion without being disagreeable, that is the kind of environment we hope to achieve here. Myself I was attracted to the high level of scholarship I found outside of a university setting or a book,E/S was the very first online community I ever signed up for,Folks that I did not have the pleasure of interacting with like Rasol, I count myself fortunate to learn from vets like Asuar Al-Takruri,Explorer,Djehuti,,Evergreen,Wally,Mary wysinger, Charlie Bass, yourself,Mike even though we clashed alot,Mindover matter, Apocalypse,Multi Sphinx,Lamin,Kenndo,King,Truthcentric,,Iron Lion, Marc,Dena Reynolds,Jari and so many others even from detractors who made you go over some of what you thought you knew if even all it did was to keep you sharp who can foreget heroic debates with like of Evil Euro and others...I try to give respect to all, we are not here to recreate it that's impossible we can only forge a new way.
