I've been unable to access the ETC spin-off forum today, is anyone else having this issue or got any news? It was working fine at ~11pm BST last night.

Saying it's inactive. Makes me wonder if someone pulled the plug.

Hmmm, perhaps. I wonder what happened whilst I was asleep now...

I'm sure he was active on ETC more recently than that, but don't have any way to check.

I suspect it's just the hosting has run out and he's been too busy to notice.

To be fair, enjoyable as it was....given a couple of members, if he’s decided it’s not worth the effort, who could blame him?

From what I understand, it was an experiment. Perhaps the experiment has run it's course.

I'm not under the impression it went / was going the way he wanted.

Kinda? Ish?

There was a fair amount of agreement, some good debate, and of course the odd metaphorical Pigeon Playing Chess.

I can’t speak for the mod team, but as someone who runs their own successful FB group I know that moderating takes a mental toll. A certain amount of “oh gods what now?. I suspect parents (which I’m not) might equate it to wrangling with Toddlers.

Further, I suffer from anxiety and depression, and even in my relatively placid group, it’s still more than I can spare the mental energy to deal with.

With genuine respect to ETC’s mods, this is why I myself have a relatively large Mod Group. That’s so I can retire when I Just Can’t.

The mods on ETC finally posted their rules for the site last weekend, right? Wasn’t that what we were waiting for before the site could truly be judged a success or failure? It barely had a chance to work as intended.


The only part I really won’t miss...much...was the unending back and forth between Wolf and Baron. A couple replies was fun, but after a few pages they became repetitive. I expected the mods to limit that somewhat.

If RiTides reads this, feel free to PM me with any news you want to share here wrt ETC Forums but I am locking this as it’s not the right venue for discussing issues from another forum.

EDIT: RiTides reached out to say ETC Forums are back up here:
