Title: FarRiders Forum is Down (Dec 2021)
Post by: StinkyPete on December 29, 2021, 08:38:15 PM

I haven't visited FarRiders for a while and went to browse the Forum only to find that it's "down".    Any info, or is it only temporary?

Been talk about it being down for a while with some having messaged its owner. The .com.au site works minus forum.

I hope that this isn't the end of Davo's dream, and the demise of FarRiders.

For the past 6 months or more I have been getting my forum name is invalid

Ghostie's last contribution was regarding the GFR to Banana (which I did, and scored a new number for my pillion).  He was upbeat, but unable to attend it himself.  He's had a stint in hospital, so hopefully he's OK.
As for it being the end of FarRiders, here's hoping it can be saved.  It offers a different experience to the IBA, which has an active website here in Oz, as part of the world-wide orgaisation.

FarRiders forum is up and working again, but I haven't seen an explanation for the outage.   :thumbsup
