Hopefully this won't negatively affect the breakneck speed of posting to which I have become accustomed.

...but they were, all of them, deceived. For another .gs was made. In the land of London, in the fires of his bedroom, the Dark Mod Maroon forged in secret a mobile Site, to control all others. And into this Site he poured his hedonism, his good humour and his will to dominate the arses of all life. One Site to rule them all.

>his good humour

This man has never spoke to maroon in his life!

>>15388
Careful. That comic can get you banned, depending what mood the mods are in.

>>15388
To be honest, you have to have a pretty high IQ to understand maroon's banter.

>>15390

There's also Maroon's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation.

wubba lubba dub dub!

>>15392
*yubba lubba yub yub.

>>15393

Yabba dabba do!

I'm choosing to believe this entire thread is just maroon talking to himself.

I had a brief moment of crisis until I discovered that I could still get access on mobile.

Incidentally, is there any agreed point of refuge for emergency discussion if the site ever does go down completely?

>>15396
Discord, I suppose. Usually purps would be more on the ball than this, worried he's been rona'd tbh.

I find myself saying 'britfa.gs gahn' like William Hague.

>>15396
Could be your cache, could change at any time. Bookmark the IP to be safe, 54.154.180.248.

>>15385
Only just found my way back and fuck me I've missed you lads.

>>15401

Glad you found a way back.

What's actually the craic here? I'm only here through some dodgy URL I got googling the site instead of just using my bookmark.

>>15403
>What's actually the craic here?
The Domain expired without renewal.

https://britfa.pantsu.org/sfw/

If this situation keeps up I might setup a proxy so SSL doesn't scream.

>>15405

http://cuntoff.club/* too.

Had to find the gaming discord through google cache to get here.

>>15407
It really warms my heart thinking how we have all taken different paths to find our way back here

I don't know if anyone able to access the site still isn't also on the discord at this point, but if you're not:
>I’m talking to Network Solutions - have paid a load of money to them and in phone calls. Keep getting through to South East Asia and others - the domain is safe, I have also spoken to the people who run .GS so we won’t lose it, but thanks to some changes, fuck ups and corona virus excuses, might be a few more days

>Please apologise to our other mates - it is terrible, and I am heartbroken they have fucked it up. We’ll fix it, but I know how important some of our silly fucking site is to people.. nowhere near giving up.

>>15409
Is it worth joining the Discord? I might be one of the only ones not on but I'm also not the chattiest by any stretch.

>>15410
Depends how bored you are. It's only slightly more active than the boards currently are.

>>15410
I barely ever post there but it seems reasonably chill. Might be worth having just in case this sort of situation arises again.

>>15409
That warmed my heart a bit. As well as all the lads finding various ways and means of crawling back to this small grey bolthole in the swarming fuckery that is the wider internet.

Glad to hear that purps realises that this place is actually a bit special in it's own understated way, if he reads this at some point his efforts are very much appreciated. Without wanting to be dramatic or overstate the case I reckon /emo/ may genuinely have saved a few lives. And the cunts offs can be fun as well.

Sage for soppyness.

>>15410

If you want to be part of the disgusting Mod/IRC clique.

>>15413
That joke worked better 10 years ago when it was IRC and no one under the age of 25 knew how to access the server. Discord is a click away.

Oh thank god, I thought this place had just died forever without warning.

Maybe this is the best thread to post this: at the moment, https://britfa.gs isn't loading. I just get a white screen with those placeholder icons where failed images go. But if I type britfa.gs/*/, that loads as normal. So we could just do that, but what are we, animals?

>>16126
Thanks. It was a weird CDN certificate. Fixed now.

>>16127
Why would a small, mostly text based website with a handful of regular users, require a CDN?

Test

>>16129
Have you seen Amazon's data charges?

Your SSL's expired again. I shan't be posting any of my bank details or passwords here until we get our green padlock back.

I may as well post this here as purp might not see this otherwise, but I've managed to find a compromise I'm comfortable with, with regards to my internet access, and started using Cloudflare's WARP protocol when casually browsing and saving the VPN as a condom for public networks, so please don't block me if anything seems suspicious about how I'm accessing .gs; It's just DNSSEC.

I've not been able to access the site for about 2 years out of sheer stubbornness, so it's nice to be back.

Just got CityFibre interweb put in and now I only get the Linux AMI test page screen when I try to access the site.

Any pointers? Is it likely to be something in my router settings would cause it or does Brian now mistake me for a foreign?

>>16160 I'd guess that it's the xenophobia thing. I get the Linux AMI test page when my IP address is in this chunk - 212.105.145.155 - even though sites like https://www.iplocation.net/ip-lookup say it's uk starlink. Maybe it's just that starlink customers spend a lot of time spamming nazi stuff and need a paddlin^Wbanning. When I'm in this block though (like now) 145.224.67.20 - all is well. Still resolves as starlink.

>>16161

Is there any way I can influence this myself? I'm not the back end programming socks type. I don't know my DNS from my IPV6.

I'm here now because of a VPN but I don't want to have to arse about with that every time, and I definitely don't want to have to use my phone. The place will lose a good two thirds of our already glacial post rate.
