I assume I wasnt the only one who couldn't access the forum today?

I believe I saw somebody else mentioning a bad gateway or something similar in the last couple days?

What's up with that?

Anybody got the link to the old back-up forum, in case of an emergency-procrastination scenario?

Old backup forum is dead, just fyi. The old hosting company got sold and gave the keys to some...questionable folk with no notification. So that got deleted.

Is it worth the effort to get a new back-up? We haven't had down time in ages.

Exactly. We didn't really need it. Hence why we didn't notice that it was gone for quite some time.

While it's not ideal, as not everyone will know what is going on if they don't have a backup link to go to (not that everyone new about the backup forum previously, anyway), downtime is usually resolved quickly, and enough people have me on other platforms that I tend to know quite quickly, and Xae is proactive in keeping an eye on things anyway.

Honestly, for most of you, the Facebook group is probably as good a place as any to ask if the forum is down. It's distinct from the forum, but enough of you are members of both that raising the question there should give a good indication of whether it's just you or the site.
