No, I don't think so, I think he just gave up on the internet portion of his business. That's all I was told, but I imagine business wasn't as good through the boards as he'd hoped, and as far as selling rigs, there's only so many folks out there with the kind of money he was asking who are looking for rigs like he was building. It'd be nice if you could build and sell a couple $15k rigs each month, but I don't think that's realistic for someone just breaking into the business.
Too bad to see his board go away, though...there was a good bit of helpful info there too.
