The doom9 forum is gone ... why?

[LigH.de]

Several sources confirm: DNS doesn't find a server named doom9.org today.

I believe Swede used to self-host it.

[yukichigai]

Been like this for the last day for me. Kinda worrying since I haven't seen any explanation or announcement of maintenance, that kind of thing.

[El Heggunte]

Well, that sucks indeed. Even Yandex right now has no cached copies of the forum topics.
Anyway, I have always recommended that ""someone"" should set up and run a mirror of Doom9, «just in case»...
But as usual, "nobody" listens to me

[yukichigai]

It was never excluded from archive.org, so at least you can check all the archived pages for the domain, though do be warned that it takes an age to load them all.

[LigH.de]

There is a secondary domain, it just requires to ignore certificate warnings, so maybe use it read-only only:

https://doom9.leffster.se/

You may be able to access it again by adding IPs to your hosts file:

213.112.115.220 doom9.org
213.112.115.220 www.doom9.org
213.112.115.220 forum.doom9.org

[LigH.de]

I got an email from Swede. Another backup domain:

https://forum.doom9.se/

[Swede-doom9]

Yeah, sorry for this. I'm trying to resolve the issue and as LigH said use the .se domain until doom9 himself reinstates the .org

[pcspeak]

Thanks muchly, from pc_speak at doom9

Just two more things...

1) the Wayback Machine is a half-a§§ed workaround, not a(n acceptable) solution; the Internet Archive rarely copies "everything", it's often selective and it often erases/loses "old-contents" :–/

2) seriously, Swede should convince Archibald López to transfer the domain ownerships... Archie should give them all to Swede, or he might sell them all to Baldrick, ¿why not?

What the Doom9 community really DOESN'T NEED is a site owner who has no interest in taking care of his site because of alleged "real-life issues"

[LigH.de]

And your rant doesn't solve anything either. And doxxing real names is close to criminal (just in case it is true).

Thx for this

It does suggest an actual solution, sir.

Your GROUNDLESS threats don't scare me. 🥱😴

Good to have a link.
I was looking for something a couple of days ago.
No doom9 then.At least for me.

I would upgrade it -- XenForo, attachments, faster setver, etc -- and let it continue as usual. Open offer to Mr. Doom9, contact me. I don't want to see it disappear.

I generally shouldn't care. This is a question out of curiosity.
What is http://french.doom9.net?
Is doom9 moving to facebook? https://www.facebook.com/Doom9.net/

Lately, Doom9 has been getting more and more ads. Is it making money? There was no way to disable it. Until it finally crashed.

[Selur]

ads on doom9? If there are some, they don't survive 'uBlock Origin' (never saw an ad there)
french.doom9.net => iirc once where a french doom9 existed,... (see: https://forum.doom9.se/showthread.php?t=27687)

Hi guys

Ugh, this one hurts. I had everything set up on autopilot so it'll automatically renew - but forgot a little details: credit cards don't last 5 years. So they tried to rebill, failed and stupid me only manually checks the mail accounts where these emails go. And to make things even better, both domains lapes pretty much at the same time.

I have one domain back up, waiting for the other to return.
And, then I have some additional entries in my calendar...

The domain https://forum.doom9.org works again!
