Jody Thornton Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Ryan VM's Site is no longer (from what I can see), which was formerly a great place to find out about MSFN status. Is there anywhere we can go when MSFN is down to get reliable updates on its status? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-H Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 RyanVM has indeed gone I'm afraid. We will need to find somewhere else to stay in contact if there are problems with MSFN in the future. Anyone any suggestions? Preferably not company forums. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I posted on Reboot.pro about it, but since Xper doesn't post anywhere, there isn't really a place to get reliable info relating to the server. There just are places we can congregate temporarily if need be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Draker Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Vista forum, maybe? Though, you all would have to upgrade to Vista, hence the name. And the site has the abominable, idiotic cloudfare "protection" (fingerprinting). I usually boycott such websites. https://www.vistax64.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-H Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I don't think we should use a board that's specific to any operating system. There is still an active XP forum of course! Another general PC system support forum would be best, assuming that MSFN isn't now the last one standing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about us continuing all our thread conversations there, all we need is a thread, probably in their 'Chit Chat' section, where we can discuss the status of the MSFN forum as a whole. As long as they don't object to us discussing what they would probably consider to be a 'rival forum' there of course! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacyfan Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) eclipse.cx would be one of the options as quite a few msfn members are registered there and they seem to have a really good admin there to help with issues and it seems to be the only forum with the most contact with here Edited June 7, 2023 by legacyfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacyfan Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) there is also wincert https://www.wincert.net/forum/ which is owned by a friend of xpers and is now as of recently owned by heidoc Edited June 7, 2023 by legacyfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacyfan Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 betaarchive I guess would be an option but they seem to have harder rules than here and I a lot of people could get banned there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroSkipper Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) My Digital Life (MDL) is a great forum with less restrictions than others. I am a member there since 2009 when it was still named forums.mydigitallife.info and not forums.mydigitallife.net. But more in the form of a passive member than an active one. Already posted comments can be edited at any time. I mention that because there are many forums with a lot of restrictions such as Malwarebytes Forums or Windows XP Forums. And I agree to @Dave-H, the Chit Chat subforum would be the right place if MDL is wanted. Edited June 7, 2023 by AstroSkipper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
