Two more days to endure before the dreadful grey emptiness of LAFlessness is over. We must be brave.

Why? Where did it go?

Didn't miss it. Must have minimal impact on the hobby.

Lets hope when they have finished moving it everything is still there.

Oh, but it does. Many, many good people there, always with lots of feedback and eye-candy. Love the place!

This downtime seems to be happening more often of late. Are they having website problems?

Really not that long of a wait.

Lead Adventure Forum (www.lead-adventure.de)

John Leahy Sponsoring Member of TMP13 Feb 2018 12:26 p.m. PST

It's a really good site!

Darrell B D Day13 Feb 2018 12:52 p.m. PST

They are changing servers or hosts or something else techy technical.

If you don't know of it (where have you BEEN?), I'll undertake to post a link on that happy, imminent day it returns – hopefully Thursday.

I guess people have missed it but Northstar are taking over LAF which I assume is the reason for the current maintenance

And for those who don't know about it LAF is a great forum with a lot of great painters and modellers. It has a very different vibe to TMP (not better just different)

Lead Adventure is a very good forum for painters and modelers. Alex, the founder and owner, has decided to stop as he has a busy life. He has given it to Nick Eyre of North Star. NIck is moving the hosting to his U.K. Based server.

Great Miniatures forum. Worth looking at.

altfritz13 Feb 2018 7:17 p.m. PST

Is it still only Tuesday?!

I figured it was migrating to a new server due to the change in management. Looking forward to having it back.

Astonished two manufacturers on this thread have never heard of one of the major gaming forums. Marketing 101 failed?

TBF LAF has always felt pretty Eurocentric so US companies may not be overly aware of it

Mick in Switzerland15 Feb 2018 11:58 a.m. PST

LAF is back and now with a .com address. leadadventureforum.com/index.php

Cyrus the Great15 Feb 2018 12:03 p.m. PST

Yes, it is!

altfritz15 Feb 2018 3:47 p.m. PST

Looks slightly off, but its back! :-)

Grimmnar16 Feb 2018 9:17 p.m. PST

Altfritz, "slightly off" is a bit of an understatement.
I been away from the keyboard for a few days so i didn't know of the migration.
I hope there will be more tweaking. Just doesn't seem right.

And to the above comments. If your a seller of gaming goods, Eurocentric or not, you should be aware of LAF. Too many companies are plowing only into FB and missing out.
For those who dont know that people in Europe, for example, play and buy miniature/wargaming supplies.

Odd issue I'm encountering -- my PC browsers (Chrome/Edge/Opera) cannot connect to the site. I get a "This site can't be reached" error.

However, I *can* connect via a mobile browser on my android phone.

Anyone have any ideas why that's happening?

LeonAdler Sponsoring Member of TMP14 Jun 2018 11:28 a.m. PST

Never got on with LAF guys, admin seems to make life as difficult as they can and maybe it was just the two I encountered but they came across as decidely 'sniffy'.

The same happened to me.
Got an email saying l was banned .Didn't give any reason but l think it was because l hadn't posted in 6 weeks.When trying to view site just
says error.
I can connect via android and I'm not banned.
I did PM mod but never had the decency to reply.

No great loss as forum's are losing there importance.
