SDC Forum down again, Dec. 31 2025

[Mark L]

It appears the SDC Forum is offline again.

That administrator has to go!

Just curious, what time was the outage? I was able to access several times on the 31st.

Not sure when it went out… but as of now it’s still offline

It may seem to some that I’m being unfair to the Stude Forum Administrator.. however, problems such as this have sadly become fairly common on that forum.

The sloppy handling of his administrative responsibilities is indicative of a person who has held onto that position for way too long… Time for ‘new blood’ for Studebaker forum administration…. A ‘healthy’ move for a  currently stagnant venue!

I am confused. It has been working fine for me all morning.

Maybe I should try from a PC. I've been attempting to access from my cell phone. I cleared the cookies and history, but I still can't access it.

Just posted again. this time under  General:

I used the SDC forums contact page and sent email to webmaster. 

I don't understand why it is working for me and not others. 

I did notice that other than my 2 test posts, there is no activity since sometime around 6:00 p.m. EST yesterday.

Tried wife's iPhone 16. Can't get to forums. Main SDC page has forum unavailable message. Don't know if the message is new or left over from previous outage.

 

Tried again from my S25,  and it is still working!

Still down…. Sadly, this type of thing was inevitable on that forum.

Just to remind everyone, the AOAI forum has had issues as well. One I experienced just last October. seems to be the nature of the beast.

Don’t mean to offend… but I have to call this as I’ve seen it over the years.

I am not disparaging either of the forum admins. I appreciate all the hard work they do to keep the sites running. Just pointing out that most, if not all, forums have issues from time to time.

Ed, you seem to have a serious issue with Clark @ the SDC forum. Perhaps instead of attacking, you could volunteer to help.

I am still confused on why the SDC forum continues to work for me and, apparently, no one else. Perhaps it is because I never log out?
