Harrison submitted a new resource:

Aspergers Forum - Safe, Comfortable, Ad-Free. For Autistics, By Autistics

The Aspergers Forum is a site dedicated to the older members of the ASD community (16+). Built and run by people on the spectrum, AF was designed using the combined resources of not only its creators but also its members.

We are ad free as we are sponsored by other corporate bodies. Our long term goals are to promote research into adult related ASD issues in a world where we are all but ignored.

The website isn't working.

The website isn't working.

It's gone

 

[AGXStarseed]

It's gone

Jeez, that was quick.
What happened?

 

[royinpink]

Jeez, that was quick.
What happened?

I really don't know. Something sudden and unexpected, I gather, and that would be very difficult to fix.

 

[Ellylldan]

Oh... I was busy for a few days and today it's gone..

I am so very sorry to hear it. Is it gone gone or there is still a chance for it to come back? If anyone knows.

 

[Mia]

Unfortunately Ellylldan it will not be resurrected. Some event caused a catastrophe that can't be rectified.

Best remove it from my favourites then.

Boo hiss rubbish

*Kind and caring thoughts and feelings for those that were involved in it's creation.*

Wouldn't it be great if someone could say, "Oh, this happened - don't worry, service will resume shortly."

This site had the potential to draw people together - that was it's pure aim!

It was non-profit, by Autistics, for Autistics.. and a great deal of effort went into it.

Aspergers Forum will be missed.

 

[Elemental]

Confused the hell out of me, being redirected.

What on earth even happened?

 

[royinpink]

What on earth even happened?

I'm afraid only the owners know the full details. We only know something catastrophic happened, and they don't think it is possible to recreate the site with the resources available. I am sure they, and everyone who worked on it, are even more shaken up by it than we are.

I will miss it dearly.

 

[Lena_C]

What could we do now?
It shouldn't be gone.

 

[Myway]

What forum was this? I think I missed it. If it isn't around anymore, then what are we supposed to do. Just let them figure it out?

 

[royinpink]

What could we do now?
It shouldn't be gone.

I feel the same way, but if we're not asked to help, there is really nothing we can do.

 

[Cosmophylla]

Jennifer sent me an email that said the site was completely gone from the server on the host end.

 

[Spiller]

I'm not sure it's the same, not enough information, but when I had that happen to my business website years ago it meant I had to rewrite the whole thing from scratch - oddly, data protection meant that the host couldn't give me back my own files of code and images.
