Joined once, not a very welcoming group. Never the less, Godaddy pulled arfcom today, sure they are just the first in a long list.

I'm a member over there. GD (general discussion, or their version of "the campfire") is full of trolls who aren't very kind to anyone; but the other forums (especially those you can only access with a paid membership) have a wealth of information and are populated by folks who are kind and are willing to help newcomers.
That said, AWS (Amazon Web Services) hosts ARFCOM and warned they were going to can the forum, eventually. Steps are being taken to move the site to another host.
What happened today was not related to the AWS issue; instead, GoDaddy canceled and locked the DNS registrar of ARFCOM and that's why the site went down. Since the name "AR15.com" has been locked, it cannot be registered with another domain name servicer. ARFCOM is back up under the link ar15-backup.com for now.

“M4madness” is not having a good day I bet! I gave up my staff position there about a year and a half ago. I just got burned out on all of it. Having to do work there everyday ruined the fun of the site for me. I have been visiting it pretty much daily again for the last year -- it's a lot nicer when you are just there for fun. I've been a member there for 20 years now! |
