I clicked on it just now and it says "The forum you just selected does not exist"

Presumably they are working on it??

I thought it might have been me being an IT biff or just North African internet!!

Tally Ho!

Last I heard none of the Admins could access the Forum. The PhpBB forum they use has recently stated:

Earlier today, we identified that the download URLs for two phpBB packages available on phpBB.com were redirecting to a server that did not belong to us. We immediately took down the links and launched an investigation….If you downloaded either the 3.2.2 full package or the 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2 automatic updater package between the hours of 12:02 PM UTC and 15:03 PM UTC on January 26th, you received an archive modified with a malicious payload.

One of my mates spoke with the Admins who say "it is gone for good"

Well that just sucks! The Guild is a wonderful forum.

Indeed!

At least there is the Wayback Machine hopefully.

I would think all of these forum software take automatic backups of themselves… let's hope the Guild website did that too.

I really hope its not gone. I have learned SO much that has helped me with WW2 modelling, and members are always willing to share their knowledge and their work.

A couple of forums have emerged from the wreckage of the Guild (a real loss).

thewargamersforum.com

battlegroupwargame.forumotion.com (a Battlegroup rules specific forum).

Hopefully both will help continue the spirit/knowledge that existed in the Guild.

Sorry - only verified members can post on the forums.
