As of now, it's back.

The Flying Dutchman of web sites.

Brilliant!

did the moderator or moderators or owners of maxfisch decide to close the place?

Right now it is simply a blank screen!

Or, did the webhosting company figure that maxfisch was not to their standards and close them, somehow?

Does anyone here know one or several of the maxfisch moderators?

It seems to be working for me.

If you go in through an existing thread, you get in. Even then, it only partially downloads. The site has been a mess for so long, it is hard to tell what is going on. Perhaps it is being moved to another server and this is the propagation phase? Just a guess.

Go in directly through the forum.

Yup, its a white screen for me on mobile and desktop. The link above is giving me an error page...

What is weird is that a few days ago when it came back up it looked completely fixed. Some of the boxes that hadn't updated in years were working and updating in real time - like the "new posts" and "who's online" areas. It appears someone is working on it, they just don't have sorted yet.

I just went there, posted a comment, turned off the right side bar, turned it back on again, and saw my post totals increment.
