Is openvmshobbyist.com dead?

Post by whcox53 » Tue Aug 20, 2024 9:43 am

Does anyone know what is happening with the openvmshobbyist.com website? It doesn't look like anything has been posted in a long time. I see 10 guests on the website, but no members online. I can read the forums as a guest, but every time I login I get a blank screen and can't do anything. Perhaps that explains why no members are logged in. I was going to post about the new VMS Bootcamp coming up as they still have an ad up for the 2016 VMS Bootcamp.

I sent an email using the contact form, but got no response.

The forums still work, but nobody has posted in a while. About 10 months it looks like. Even HobbyistOne (the owner) hasn't visited since 2020. I hope he's okay.

Ah.. now I remember... The site kinda works until you log into your account, Then it hangs at a semi-blank menu screen.

I see "guests online" fluctuating. Either people checking it out or else spambots looking for a target. ;)
