RIP Smeggy's Forums (2008 - 2020)

Postby spotify95 » August 6th, 2021, 5:53 pm

Smeggys Forums are no longer available and have been closed down.

On the main forum homepage, it now shows as having no forums at all, and it says that my username and password combo do not exit when trying to send an activation email or a forgotten password request.

It is also impossible to register to the forum due to issues with the login form (the conform password box does not match the password entered, even when it does).

I have attached some schreenshots to confirm this.

According to the Internet Archive (web.archive.org), the last screenshot which depicted a fully working website was on November 25, 2020.
The next screenshot, captured January 16, 2021, shows a completely blank website with no viewable forums.
So it appears that Smeggy's Forums have been taken down sometime between 11/25/20 and 1/16/21.
(My guess would be at the end of 2020.)

Why this has happened, I do not know - whether it be due to hosting issues, server issues, costs of running the website, etc.
But all we do know is that Smeggy's Forums are no longer available.

RIP Smeggy's Forums, 2008 - 2020.

How comes you are able to see everything and I am not? I'd love to view everything there, even if just to see some of the stuff in the "Bollocks" sub forums ;).
I had an account but sadly it was de-activated once I had to change my email address - and Smeggy never re-activated it.
I also cannot make an account either!

You now have to be a member just to even view any of the forums.

Talk about being behind closed doors - plus, his registration form is just completely broken.

Why would anyone even set a forum to be completely closed like this? If you want a completely closed, invite-only format, just use a Discord server (or something else along those lines).

They did, but someone kept posting a random number instead of the correct numbers every time I posted the correct numbers. :#
