Story is it's under redevelopment, has been for quite a while now. Sure would be nice to get it up and running again.

It was completed in mid-June.

There are a couple additional articles that I plan to add at a later date.

Nice to see it operational again, but there is a LOT missing from the original site that I think is of real value. I hope it gets restored.

The only thing that was removed were a few paragraphs pertaining to the origins of the system, which are not necessary to use the system. Otherwise the original photos were reshot in color and the Rosetta Stone chart was expanded with the original Cents/ERN version that goes up to 600 cents. There was never any database, etc., on that site.

A major rod manufacturer is considering using the CCS for their rod ratings and had asked for a basic "nuts and bolts" version for their in-house use. This is it.

It needed to be upgraded. The old B&W pictures seemed outdated and there was a lot of fluff in the text. It was like watching a how-to youtube video and the first half of the video is some guy telling you what he is about to tell you! New site is awesome for those wanting to learn the system. It jumps right in and tells you what you need to know and no more.
