Real Roleplaying Forums down

Hello,
The links to the Real Roleplaying Forums are down. Do you know what's going on with the site?
Regards,
DW

Hi,

I've e-mailed Andrew (Ictus) about this. I believe he's looking for someone to take over the maintenance (and perhaps ownership) of the site. I haven't the technical know how (or £/$ to do so..) else I would have..  I've chased him up today.

He's given me a reply, saying he's no idea why the site's gone down, but he's busy atm, so will look into it in the next few days.

When I tried to click on posts or login it gave me an Error Message, saying I didn't have permission to access. Then it went back to the same effect, saying it took to much time to load.  :'(

Had the same problem, but it's resolved itself for me.

Try clicking on a post before logging in, when I did that it switched to a screen where I was logged in.

I'd saved that page as a favourite, so re-saved as favourite, deleted the original favourite... and then it's been ok since.

I really don't understand computers...

Yep.  RRP forums seems to be back up for me also.  I ain't been able to log in for the last two, three years.  Had no emails to use.

But they seem to be back up.  Going to take me some time to prepare for anything though.

Same 403 forbidden issues here as well - have to try the log into a forum and then login trick.
