Does somebody know what is happening to the forum?

I only get a 403 written in what i think is deutsch.

All I know is that the forum has been in this state for about a week now.

I guess the bad state the forum was in, got worse.

People inquired about the error on the Team Mac OS X forum too, and
they were hoping Uncle_Fungus could tell them.

Andrew, do you know what's up?

Regards,

Bas

I see he replied in the topic:

"Bit slow on the uptake here, but WW is taking the issue up with our
hosting provider who are trying to get it sorted.
More than that I do not know at present."

Vijay posted a note on the Folding Blog about the FCF downage too:

"As many FAH donors have seen, the Folding Community Forum (FCF) has
been down for several days. This is a major problem for us as this is
how we interact with donors. WW, the maintainer of the forum, has
been working with his hosting company to get a solution, but it's
going slowly. In parallel, we have been looking into other options,
including hosting a forum at Stanford as a temporary or permanent fix
for this issue. We'll keep you posted as we learn more.

In general, this blog is the place to go for information on any of
this. One benefit of it being hosted in a separate site is that if
either Stanford and/or the FCF go down, it will still be up. If all
three somehow go down, we may have bigger problems to deal with!

I hope to have more information about this soon. It's important to
stress that the forum is a third party contribution to FAH and FAH
works completely independent of it (the forum being down doesn't mean
that FAH is down -- quite to the contrary)."
