Lisias Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Hi, this is not exactly a question, but I didn't thought of a better place to do it. In the page https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/guidelines/ , both the Privacy Policy and the Terms Of Use are still linking to TTWO. Please send a heads up to the new owners, as this may be - from this point - a liability. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisias Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) Hi, another one of that "no questions": A fellow Kerbonaut just realized recently that Forum is back because by some reason their links weren't working, and I'm guessing these links were using "http://" instead of "https://". I did a test and, in fact, using "http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com" in the URL leads to a non responsive page that eventually time outs. I don't how bad would be this problem, but the fix is so simple that I really think it should be implemented as soon as possible: setup the ELB to listen the 80 port and do a http 301 permanent redirect to the same URL with "http" replaced by "https". Never did it myself (I'm a old diehard UNIX graybeard that does things by hand), but I think it's just a new listener on the ELB configuration page on EC2.

This happened to me around the 502 era but before the age of darkness. The shortcut I always used stopped working. So I used a search engine to get me a link to the forum and once connected I just created a new shortcut. Has worked since, as long as the forum is actually up.

Yep, but there're probably links using only http scattered around the World for ages by now. It's easier to do a http 301 than trying to fix all of them!

4x4cheesecake Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Oh, interesting... that's why some links in CKAN are broken as well. Mostly applies to older mods and I thought their threads might got deleted at some point but adding the "https://" in front of the link gets me to the actual thread now.

Lisias Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hi! We have yet another one of that questions that are not questions! It came to my attention that the KSP API in https://www.kerbalspaceprogram.com/ksp/api/ isn't online yet! If by some reason this would be a easy fix, I would like to request the new owners to put it back online as soon as possible. Otherwise, please advise and I will try to publish it temporarily on my site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamoVampire Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Given that the 6 month mark from when it was announced the forum license was renewed for 6 months is next month has there been any word on that front or can it safely be assumed at this time our time here is 42 days left before what could likely be a full shut down in march when said license runs out? 003502152025 003802152025 found the precise 6 month mark Edited February 15 by AlamoVampire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have hoped the powers that be who renewed 5 months ago would be more open and communicative. Given their silence up until now, I am left with the distinct feeling we have 42 days left as a community. Is it negative to hold this stance? Yes. Is it the safe bet? Also yes. Until the actual license holder says something I will be expecting the worst. Sad as that is to say. 01102152025 thanks @Vanamonde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll probably pay when the date draws nearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the light of everything that has happened with the 2 outages, consistent 502 bad gateways, the rampant silence from companies that owned/own the ip, and the unmitigated disaster that is/was ksp2. Until proven otherwise its wiser/safer to believe in 41 days this community will stop being a thing. The evidence for this is spelled out in those outages, the bad gateways and the volumetric silence from the true powers that be. I would rather expect our end and be proven wrong than hope we see april and be proven wrong. 214702152025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I can't say it's 100% what's gonna happen, just that it'd be very weird of them to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theJesuit Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I'm having this problem too on the forum, like layout is non existent on default theme. Android, Mobile, Firefox or Chrome as the browser. its okay with on the dark theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoVampire Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Its been broken at least 13 hours. Jumping theme on desktop transferred to mobile between chrome on pc and safari on iphone. This sadly furthers my fear we are 33 days from the end as my math says 03-28-25 is the final day. At least based off the post 5 months ago saying the license was renewed for 6 months… yup im full doom and gloom. 193602222025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not my preferred which is the default and as of 1936 was broken for 13 hours. Being on mobile atm im not risking the move back to my preferred setting. Not until its confirmed fixed. But as stated previously given my belief our forum expires 03-28-2025 i am not expecting it fixed as i fully expect (until the powers that be who hold our license) explicitly told my expectation is wrong. Logic: if its going to shut down anyway, why fix it? Again, this is my personal expectation. If i am wrong i would rather it be for believing our forum is shutting down rather than believing it will be renewed only to see i was wrong. One i can accept, one i cannot. Further logic used: constant bad gate ways, periods of total systems failures, now todays error coupled with loud silence from the IP holder(s) and the license holder leads belief in these being the end times. Sorry to rant but, can ya blame me? 221902222015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
