[DML] Mydelorean.net to close down

[jordan rubin <nuttenschleuder@xxxxxxxxx>]

The idea really, was to make a multilingual system
whereby instructions to repair the car could be
submitted catalogued and searched through in several
languages.  The time involved in writing the code to
do this was enormous, and plans to add features were
underway.

However the page statistics dont lie.  Naturally there
will be more people looking for information than
submitting it.  However 5 months later, the primary
purpose for the site, "The sharing of information" was
not used once.

As I started indexing the entire delorean parts
catalogue in England last month,  I started to wonder
why?  Clearly the community can always benefit from
repair information, but nobody is interested in
providing any.  Even the mydelorean section which
builds a profile of peoples cars was actually only
used by 3 of the 88 people.  One myself, the other
Edoardo who was translating the italian version.

Thank you,

Jordan
