    As I understand it, it'd be a read-only archive until June when they pull the plug.

    I and another user have found out today that any topic link to the OS forums redirect to the home page. I just checked the forum link again just now and it still redirects. I am hoping that this is a temporary thing as the forums being put into read-only mode, but part of me has a sneaking suspicion that the web monkeys at the OS just pulled one idiotic maneuver and yanked the rug right out from under us.

    According to Pablo, they haven't been shut down yet, it's simply "Unrelated tech issues that are currently being looked into".

    It's unknown whether or not they can be bothered to fix them.

    I noticed that a day or two ago, and wondering about it myself.

    The forums are up again, and due to the unexpected outage doomsday has been slightly delayed.

    They will lock into 'read only' on May 3rd and close completely June 3rd.


    Update for you archivists.
