I'm sure the site will be fixed. This had to be something major to be out for so long. I would bet it's a server issue. They may be waiting on a piece of equipment.
Thank you ToughCOINS and robec for the update.

That would be my guess too. We have seen outages before but this one is longer than the previous ones that I recall over the years.

In our currency forum: cointalk thread
This thread likely won't last long.

Having just dealt with an outage on VAMWorld, I sympathize with the admins when something like this happens. You usually have no warning that something is about to ruin your evening or weekend, and that could just be the time to investigate the problem before knowing what to do to get it back up. It's times like this when we need to remember that most admins are doing this work on their own time (Our Hosts excepted), and that discussion threads used to take place in letters to the editor of a periodical, where it took weeks, if not months, to see the first reaction to what you wrote, and that's only if the editor (paleolithic "mods") thought it was worth publishing.

Looking forward to their return, thanks for the update.

Hopefully, it'll be back soon ... I miss it and am a supporter. Suggest when it comes back, folks who have posts there (their own or someone else's) that they want permanently should download the posts. And back up your computer files! One of the "dangers" of a forum owned by one person is that it can disappear forever at anytime. These are often really good though ... my favorite coin and electronics forums have single person owners. Forums run by big companies, like this one, are safer but could disappear due to cost-cutting, bankruptcy, merger, etc. Safest are probably ones run by NPOs like ANA.

Some threads can be found using the wayback machine (internet archive). I tested it out and was able to see a page but with no images.

I posted a snarky meme on a thread there that I thought was frickin' hilarious, and after a few days nobody reacted to it or "liked" it. I emailed a CoinTalk buddy of mine to complain about it and when he saw it, he hit "like" on my meme (which warmed my heart). And then the next time I checked, the site was down.

Coincidence? Causation? Hard to say...

I'm a member (supporter) on CT as well. I enjoy both forums. Thanks to the moderators for allowing this thread to stay up in the interest of the numismatic community. (Hope my thread on fake Trade Dollars doesn't vanish!)

Haven't logged onto CT in probably 5-6 years actually forgot all about it this is a good reminder to check back with it. I liked the forum but let one member there drive me away and that's a bit silly looking back.

It's back up as of 10:30 am US/Central, probably an inrush load problem.

This is why I use ketchup and hot sauce, no mustard...

Oh, a server in TURBO mode...

Which Hot Sauce? I've grown partial to the Green Tabasco.

Secret? As in I could tell you what it tastes like, but then I'd have to kill you?

I usually keep a bottle of Frank's or one of the Siracha variants for seasoning - a few drops in a balsamic glaze for roasting vegetables. I can't taste it, but I notice when it's missing.

And then something to put on steamed veg (wife likes lemon so we steam them plain). Which rotates, when she does the shopping, if I put "green chili sauce" on the list, I get something different - the last one was Green Choula which might be better than Green Tabasco.

I'll keep an eye out for the Aardvark.
