Can’t seem to load Korgforums.com last couple of days or so…

Anyone else getting in? Anyone know what’s happening?

Same here,
'ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT' is the message when try reach it.
Hopefully the site be up again in not too long.

Had the same problem since before the weekend.

Just tried it and no problem.

Hi.

Korg forum has been down for some weeks now, and at the frontpage it says it's due to maintainance.
It was a message about that it should be closed for mainainance a couple of days in October (2024), but that did not happen.
The long downtime we see now, is a quite a long time for maintainace....
Anyone here that knows anything about what's going on?

EDIT:
I don't know if it's good or bad news, but today (3rd.December 2024) the website is not available at all. 🤔
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's good news and that it is maintenance and changes to new and better forum that cause it, but at the same time I have a touch of an uneasy feeling. 🤞 😟

I share your un-easiness Gunnar. I fear Sharp did not get the contributions/funding he needed to keep the forums going and he pulled the plug. I am hopeful this is not the case. Someone on another forum mentioned they may have been hacked and in that case, Sharp may have been forced to implement a more robust forum software with anti-virus and more secure system. That would result in a very lengthy and convoluted conversion process. I'll keep monitoring to see which turns out to be true!

Hi.

It's still no news to find about if it's going to come up and running again
or not, but the well known Korg Forums is most likely down for good.

It's not much traffic at the Korg Arranger part here at SZ either, but there
are some discussion at Keyboard Forums as well as at www.korgforums.org
which redirects to the Korg part of Yamaha Musicians Forum.

Some of the well known members from Korg Forums have found the way
and is participating over there there now.

Lets hope for the best!
