Well, I would assume that you all are aware that the forum is down again. I have sent GSaM an email regarding the outage. However, as most you know. There is no guarantee when or even if the forum will return.
I will go on record and say that I have not received a reply from GSaM in months. I don’t want to hide anything from you guys, but I…[Read more]
Well depending on how long it takes/if it starts looking rather bleak, I might look into some sort of free forum host and starting a new Forum, I’d extend admin and Moderatorships to those who had said status on the last site, and kind of just allow us to try and rebuild, but let’s see what happens with this first. Hopefully it works out.
Yeah it is. There are a few free forum places, but they’re pretty meh, but it’d be better than nothing. If I had the income at the moment, I’d look into something better, but I don’t at the moment.
I just added it this morning before I left to work. I don’t really have any experience with forums and I’ve only been on Gundam Forums for a few weeks, so, I know it’s missing a bunch of the sections and topics, but if you let me know of sections/topics that need to be on there, I’ll add them.

Yet, from time to time, nature, fate, or other outside forces seek to destroy said bridges. However, if mankind can…[Read more]
Basically what the deal is, is this. The forum continues to have these issues because nothing is actually done to FIX them. What happens is when the forum goes down, a person is contracted to fix it. Before, M1ck3y would fix the forum as he was employed by GSaM. That is no longer the case. Therefore another person is hired to “fix” it. What that…[Read more]
Free (most likely ad supported, need to research more) but looks pretty good. The premium ($10/mo) has an import feature. So if we could get the database we could import the data.
So far, their record seems to be good in that they always get the forum back up one way or another. I think the fact that it’s up already (assuming it doesn’t go down again immediately) is a good sign.
