I haven't been able to access this forum from either of my home PCs for months now. I gave up at some point, until I tried to log in from work and I was able to get access. Checking the "View Active Topics" link, I found almost no active topics, so I have to assume I'm not the only one that can't gain access. I tried again from my home systems, and still get some error, although Google is able to find the forum. Doubt that anyone else having the same issues will be able to respond, but I figured someone in charge should be filled in. If it helps, I'm running Vista and 10 on the systems that I can't access from, and 8 on this laptop. Wireless network doesn't seem to matter, as I'm out of town on vacation right now and able to get in.

Wonder if it's a DNS issue. If you do a command prompt > ping http://www.fivesevenforum.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; does it resolve?

I'm getting 99.172.28.101

FWIW, I have not been able to access the url on my home computer (chrome nor firefox) for a couple of months now. I have to use 99.172.28.101 instead.

This happened once before, then fixed itself, through no action of mine that I'm aware of. Now the issue is back...

More ???? info on this topic. Not computer savvy enough to understand, but was unable to access this site for 3-4 months on 2 Acer netbooks, running XP and Chrome. Also run a Thinkpad w/ Win 7 and Chrome, that I use for banking and such. It would always access this site, so I figured it was a problem with the older, XP units. Anyway, a couple weeks back, I tried accessing site with the XP units again. It's been working fine ever since on all computers.

Clueless, but doing the best I can......... :)

Actually, I have no idea why you're having issues. I haven't had any problems regardless of which computer I use; even using my phone works. Maybe you should move to Idaho? :D

Still no luck resolving it. Further Investivating after also losing glocktalk says it's the fault of Google chrome, but my other computer has never had chrome installed. Tried all sorts of DNS flushing and fixing and cookie removing, no luck on either forum.

Guns and boobs. Lady lumps always kept things lively (in the appropriate corners of the forum). Someone kinda shut the boobage down though :(

I think there are lurkers and the old waves of FsN/FN owners have kinda died off in their excitement/motivation to get on forums.

The new waves probably don't hear about this forum, as much.

When something initiates a new wave of excitement, the motivation to search out forums/info will be renewed (FsN ban!).

IKR. Can't believe it's finally happening! :) AND a new shop!

AND BIGGEST AND BADDEST OF ALL

the thing I've been waiting like 4 years for, the extended bbl and slide extension!

I'm going to have to go buy a MkII and get it worked over by EA.

It appears we all agree about bring this place back to life... what is the plan and where do you guys think we should start?

Ok my ideas...

1. Find a way to for the forum to store pictures instead of using photobucket. This will make it easier for everyone who wants to share photos and bla bla bla.
2. We put this forum on social media.... We create a Facebook page?
3. Somewhere when everyone registered, we all entered email addresses? Right? It was so long ago I dont remember but we could send a blast email and let everyone know we are still here and this is what they missed.

It is late, i need to go to bed.... let me know....

Fire begats heat....

Bring something hot that creates an incendiary explosion in interest;

Elections + recent release of the MkII + even more recent release of EA's bbl + EA's soon to be released brass...

and extended slide for the extended bbl...

It won't take much after that for the site to get exponential hits.

All you need is good marketing; particularly on Facebook, linking it back to the forum.

There, Herc, I gave you the formula.
