Yup, the OIF board was locked down into the archives. Sad day for me, and probably for fans of other boards that were terminated like Jane's WWII Fighters.
Don't know if you remember, but I was like the last regular poster on the OIF board, trying to keep it alive with long-winded rants and raves (that I'm sure were getting old for some, it was for me). I finally gave up (mostly on Graphsim) and moved on to other sims, short stop by USAF and then on to TAW, IIRC.
Sometimes I worry that the F-22 TAW board is also on life support, but I'm sure TAW which offers something totally unique to flight simming, will always have at least some activity. It's not another WWII or Hornet sim, it's THE F-22/ultra-modern sim with stealth game play, AWACS control, an incredible DC (some think it's flawed but we're working on that) and a HUGE map (nice having a/a refueling, OIF needed this too, eh?). No need to use a program for ambient comms like we were doing with PSF!
Not the most realistic sim (obviously) and with '90s graphics so any following will probably stay small, but it's still a unique experience (think MP's F-117A Stealth Fighter but with many more features and almost 800 pages of support documentation).
<Commercial over>
And you're right, there's no active HK boards out there that I know of.
Good hearing from you. Still playing Jane's F-15?
