Well... First, only the facts.

Forum is being problematic since early July at least with that pesky 5xx errors. But what happened last Wednsday is different:

Interesting enough, the last successful request I got from them dates 2024-10-16T01:03:29Z . In a way or another, besides the Front Page being shown correctly (propably due cache), any attempt to reach anything else on Forum borks.

Interesting enough, at 16 Oct 2024 14:59:58 +0000 (13 hours after my last sucesfull request) I received a Digest Email from forum. This hints that the backend is sound and well, and whatever is happenning affects only the Forum's Front End.

Exactly what's happening? Kraken knows. But I have some educated guesses that I posted on Reddit.

TL;DR:

• There's no one left on whatever is caring for the Forum infrastructure on TTWO that knows how to handle Invision
• There's no on there willing to touch this thing
• There're something else way bigger happening, and KSP Forum was only one of the victims, and these poor bastards are buried in deep shit trying to fix the mess, and KSP Forum will come back after they clean thigns up.

I had word that Fortinet customers are getting some really bad days lately, and since https://archive.org/ is still on life support since the attack last Friday, it's reasonable to conclude that something bigger may be happening - but this is just another educated guess.
