What happened to Billabs.com?

Did Billabs go under? I was thinking of picking up a monitor but when I go to their website all I get is a white screen with the text "why are u here??". Did their site get hacked?

It's been this way for a bit. Emails were always dicey. What are you looking for from them?

Also, I emailed some dealers to see if they're still distributors.

Well, I got email back from Mountain Coin saying yes they were still a dealer. I then asked them some questions about the B0P, and am waiting to hear back.

Oh, and phone has always been dicey, too. More often I've not gotten someone and have gotten no return call on leaving a message.

Yes, it is. It still shows the BL27CB0P, too, so I emailed them asked whether it's still (or perhaps again?) being produced. I got word back from Mountain Coin that yes they do still have some B0Ps. So if you want one, ask them.
