[RedBeam]

It's down right now though! Good ol' reliable MSFN.

Same here, Jody ?

So, I am not the only one who's unable to access MSFN.

it looks like this time could be the official end of an era now (of course we where proved wrong twice already)

according to this website msfn does not even exist at all anymore. https://downinspector.com/check/https://msfn.org

Pffft. Guess Eclipse will be my new home from now on then, if MSFN is really dead.

i get this now when trying to load the website now so i think we can pretty much say its dead now

[Possum98]

hopefully this outage is not permanent as there's alot of valuable information on there still

That's the exact error I've also been getting when trying to visit it. And if MSFN will come back 1 day, then I hope it gets cleaned from the multiple accounts' nonsense, because it's ruining the quality of MSFN significantly. I also hope the moderators become active very often.

Wayback Machine should have you covered, navigating might be a bit difficult due to how the crawler works, since you'll have to jump around dates to find different topics instead of using the page function as normal, but I'd imagine most if not everything is archived.

yea i guess that's an option as well

I'm surprised its still down, actually, but I imagine its just a glitch, or something.

i don't know its been a while now

I don't think MSFN is just dead. I'd assume another temporarily outage. I did some looking since I know some stuff after doing wacky server stuff and they appear to still have the domain, just the server hosting it is down likely.

OK, maybe you are right, but still, it is stressful when it goes down many times in a row. Of course, with no doubt, once MSFN goes back up again, I am sure someone (not naming him for reasons) will link to this topic again just to start an argument, but I won't let it happen.

I just wish Xper would be more communicative about the board. If he is doing maintenance, put up a banner giving notice in advance, or come to this place, Facebook, wherever, and send us a message. It helps provide a community "feel" to things.

Just my "Xper-T" opinion. :p

[RedBeam]

well its the 22 now and msfn is still not back up yet

[the_r3dacted]

I made this issue on the Mypal68 GitHub.
If you have a GitHub account, please thumbs up or heart it. I don't want it to be spammed with this comments or anything that doesn't add to the discussion.

the msfn is unreachable error page does not happen now its just completely blank when attempting to load it

[Possum98]

the last backup i found of the forum was a really broken backup on the wayback machine from march 21 that none of the forum sections work

[RedBeam]

it looks like msfn might of had a malware attack as its telling me that its not a secure website and does not aupport https now or at least the main page is

Yes it is stressful when this happens.

still nothing on msfn the site just refuses to work at all i think its officially confirmed now that msfn is down for good this time

Well, we said that too the last time, and then it came back, after it was down for a few days. Not sure if what you said really applies this time, but I suggest we wait a week at least and see if it comes back, or it's really gone as you said or not. And if a week isn't enough to know if it's gone, a month then.

Why? I might be wrong this time. Like I said, I suggest we wait at least a week.

[the_r3dacted]

[xperceniol_sal]
