Yes, still down. Vlad the owner is working the problem.

Yes we are! It was a server issue Vlad had to fix.

Yes, seems it was server based. I kept getting a 522 error which mentioned on the error page, that everything was hitting Vlad's server fine, but the requests couldn't be completed probably due to the "hogging" of server resources, lol.

My technical view is somebody kicked the plug out! 😜🤪

I thought we weren't aloud to discuss other detecting forums here. Or is it ok to speak of other treasure hunting websites,
but its not ok to post a link to them?
i read the rules.
(You may not.... Post links to competing forums in regards to Treasure Hunting.)

Agreed, lol. Here's my top 2 IT troubleshooting tips:

1. Is it plugged in?
2. When in doubt, reboot.

I'm sure Treasure Hunter will chime in as he's an Admin/moderator and also the OP for this thread. If you post the name of another forum and include a link, that could be considered "promoting" that other forum, as the link could be viewed as an attempt to lead people away from this forum over to a competing forum.

But in this case, mentioning another forum had nothing to do with promoting that forum, it was more of a "public service announcement" informing members that the other forum was down and wasn't accessible. Lots of guys here, yours truly included, belong to multiple forums. In addition to Tnet, I belong to 4 other forums, and I was wondering what happened to the other forum. It was down yesterday evening and had been down since then. So, I was glad to see TH's post to confirm that it was indeed down, and it wasn't a problem on my end.

No links, web addresses or drama from other forums.

I was informing our members who are members of both forums which many are....I am also friends with Craig and he and I have worked together on issues that affect both forums such as spammers and trolls...
