Welcome to ARECoach.com!
This is a work in progress, more to come...

When you register, it would be nice if you use your areforum name for continuity's sake, but it's entirely up to you.

I have no reason to believe it's dead. They recently renewed the domain.

I think something's up with their hosting account.

Thanks for setting this up Coach! I was new to the areforum a few months ago when I began studying for CDS. I lost my study ways for a little (just busy with life)... only to come back to it Friday and see that the Arefourm was kaputt. Since no one seems to know why or how long it will be down, it is very nice to have this.

Found this whilst doing a search for something else. Great find. Thanks for hosting/monitoring this. I know I enjoy/am thankful of your commentary on the ARE forum. Now I will have more than one outlet for questions, etc.

Cheers

Coach, thanks for setting this up! This is great.

One question, is there a way to get the files for the alt vignettes? Are those stored somewhere other than the areforum ftp (which is still down)? I can't find them anywhere.

I was just getting back into the swing of things and studying for my next test when I saw the areforum was down! I was devastated and didn't know how I would survive any of the vignettes... I'm so glad to see familiar "faces" here. Thank you so much for setting up this site.

Hi Coach,
Its the artists formerly known as JimShort. Thought you might like to know what I will be up to with my law research and future filing against the State of Colorado and its DORA board members. Been studying applicable laws to stick them with. The obvious and easy ones are the violations of Colorado's Architecture Practice Act that states "no more than 3 years of practical experience", demands a minimum competency, and a set passing score, none of which exist. What I most intrigued with is the Federal RICO Act. It fits to a T.
RICO is the fraudulent intent of obstructing interstate commerce. - Yep, sure obstructs commerce and since NCARB is in DC it obstructs it in all 50 states.
Must meet the following 5 tests:
(1) the existence of an enterprise; YEP
(2) that the enterprise affected interstate commerce; YEP
(3) that defendant was employed by or associated with the enterprise; YEP, DORA Board members are on NCARB boards and meet regularly
(4) that defendant participated, either directly or indirectly, in the conduct of the affairs of the enterprise; - YEP, Meeting minutes prove it.
5) that defendant participated through a pattern of racketeering activity; i.e., through commission of at least two racketeering acts. YEP, Each denied or delayed person is a racketeering act.

I think DORA and I have ourselves a fun ball game. The administrations multiple counts of False Swearing and denial of Open Record Act requests for pertinent documents does not make them look very good.

Trying to find a way to go after the legislature for funding this fraudfest. That may have to be done later. Colorado law demands a Notice of Claim and a delay of 180 days. Will have to file in Federal court immediately under US Code Title 42 Section 1983, which is the Civil Rights Act of 1983 and was written for the purpose of people suing states and cities that deny them Constitutional Rights. The right to work falls directly under the Pursuit of Happiness. One cannot pursue happiness if one is denied work, particularly if they can perform the work better than the clownfest that makes up the DORA Board let alone minimum competency.

I'll update and tell everyone when I do file. First must file against the City of Denver for the most fraudulent and onerous contractor licensing program in the country. No Hispanics have been given a new Class in the past couple decades. The 1 that was given a Class A was given that more than 20 years ago. Only 1 African American in that same span. Denver Public Schools has 41 Class A contractors, 2 are minorities or women. smh

Later,

The artist formerly known as Jim Short

DaveW, I Used to listen to the little pumpkin nipples of love when I lived in Chicago and when he used to call ßarky Anderson every night and get the scores from the switchboard operator. Top nigh journalism. Even went as Little Jimmy for Halloween. Wore a monkey suit, flannel, and a press pass in my hat. As the organ from the Big Barn takes us to commercial with a crescendo of sounds from the gastronemic nightmare.

Yeah The Loop had some pretty entertaing Sport Radio back then. Harey Caray impersonators. Jimmy shorts. Pat Foley announcer. Kind of a zany period in chicago sports. Used to be a good city. Now its just a place for yups, hipsters and gangbangers.

I'm new to this site so maybe there's already a solution but I received a private message that I would like to respond to...but seeing as how I can't even contact the administrator directly to resolve this...can you adjust the setting for me? Thanks for your time.

There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to do either.
