Well here I am all lonely here. I have one forum I'm on that has been on their lifeboat for months. Hope, that isn't the case here.

I didn't have a chance to log in and post here earlier but I did send email to Fan who replied he was already working to restore the FF to an operable condition.
He says "It ain't pretty" but from the message he's posted at the FF, it doesn't sound insurmountable, though it may mean saying goodbye to the old vbulletin SW...

Hey, Riddick, nice to have company. I couldn't get in about 9am pacific this morning. I shot him an E-mail inquiring before I started dinking with my android(tend to do that). Hopefully Fan has some data back-up.

Would you believe Fan's already brought the FF back to full functionality, albeit without its customary appearance?
BTW Doka, as I looked around the restored site, I came by a PM of yours I hadn't seen that I've now responded to...

If you're reading this good chance it's because you can't read anything at the main board!
Almost 3 years since it last went down. Not a bad run
Hopefully Fan will fix what's ailing soon

What I glean from a search on the error that comes up, it appears the forum database crashed
I sent Fan email in the early AM via the webmaster email on the error page but haven't heard back. I'll see when I get home, I may have another email addy to try in my desktop address book. Couldn't hurt you send email too
Dunno how much he keeps tabs on the forum, or regular backups. Hopefully it's not a start from scratch sorta thing.
It may be he's indisposed. Being the weekend, I'd give him some time. It doesn't come back and we don't hear from him by Wednesday, that'd definitely not be an encouraging sign for the FF's future

Didn't have another addy.. Didn't get a reply from Fan
But the FF is back! Doesn't look like anything was lost
Either he fixed it, or it repaired itself.

Are we down or Just me?. 2/7/2019 It's not just you Doka. Right now I'm getting a general error page. I just sent an email to Fan via the link provided. If you haven't also done, give it a shot. Hopefully it's not a days-long repair

Hey Now MK,
The main site's sudden suspension came as a shock and I'm not near over it! I left you a PM about it at Into Infinity but turns out you'd already posted here.
I've also sent Doka an email directing her here, and one to Fan inquiring about the FF account's change of status
We can only hope it was an oversight that can & will be rectified before too long. That said, more than ever we may need to consider the possibility it won't be coming back.
I'm committed to keeping the Lifeboat open. Into Infinity would be another option for posting but while it's an Art Bell genre site, the proprietor has a no politics rule. Still, I'd say it'd be a good idea to use it as a backup if THIS site goes down
So, that's about all I can tell you for now... Except that in SE WI, there's one helluva winter headed our way with ice and heavy snow. I'm not at all happy about THAT situation either! But it's just one of those things to get through ainit
Anahoo, ideally situated or not IMHO we got no good reason to stop what we were doing. It ain't fancy like the main site, but it's functional. And for sure The Lifeboat is open for business!! Feel more than free to post whatever whenever, KWIM?
Take care & ttyl, Fred / Riddick
