Looks like maxfisch.com is having DNS issues.

Reports of its life have been greatly exaggerated.

It has had DNS issues before, usually lasts for a few days until someone notices it.

Thankful that this very nice place, The Buzz, has been provided for us.

I'm over the Hang, one thing after another!

I agree. I'd like for this site thrive. MF is just too flaky.

Maybe this time we were lucky because it is not happening to me. MF was not administered for a long time and somehow it survived, but without full functionality.

On the other hand, the other side of MF, the World list of Domes cannot survive without administration. That is why I proposed how to replace it with a forum variant, less convenient to manage but being able to keep the information up to date.

A managed site, like this one, would not need the complicated setup I was proposing there. It could just implement it as a natural list like MF used to do it.

Of course this is just about the technical side. Whether this is risky in attracting attention politically is something I am not qualified to talk about.

I think we have a good deal here right now as things are.

Works fine for me. Change you DNS.

No argument about this. This is why I am here. At the same time there are things I can do only at MF. My recent flurry of posts was not due to an increase of my interest in BDSM but because I saw a crisis and some need for action. Before I found out about the problems at MF I have been absent for about 2 months.

There is a guy who does not post a lot but whenever he does I am very interested to read what he has to say, TheDriver. He sent me a PM during my absence and I responded when I came back, about a month ago, but he has not logged in since. I have not deleted my PMs and I am glad that he can find my response.

While reading past posts from long ago I noticed how different excited sounded from his current posts. I can talk to him about it.

My mistress has over 4000 posts there, and only about 10 of them are from the last 3 years. There are answers there to many of the discussions we had or we have not had yet.

So while the winner takes it all might work well for you, because you are mostly looking forward, which is a good thing, the past is equally important to me and I see value in having both sites working.

Shouldn't have to.

I know him and will email him directing him here.

Thanks.
