Any former members of the now defunct Space.com forums here?

As the title says, did anyone here used to frequent the old Space.com forums, before they got shut down with no warning back in 2011? I was lost after that, until I discovered Kerbals!

Reporting!

Elaborating on my previous, quite verbose, response, yeah, not only no warning about imminent shutdown, but no explanation after the switch was flipped. It looked like some temporary server outage or something. I kept coming to see if they had fixed it, but nope. No forum, no information. Weird way to shut down a forum.

Real shame about it. I liked the community.

Edit because I made a typo; a transgression which was, without fail, called out on SDC forum :). Good times.

Wait what where? Not finding an obvious link on my mobile, I’ll have to look when I get home. Of course, the old crowd will probably never come back...

Or am I getting trolled...?

Don't think that's the lost forum they're searching.

Yeah, the website was never down for any significant time, but the forums went down for “maintenance” and when the Space/LiveScience network got converted to Purchified clickbait there was no more link for the forums. It seems they tried to migrate to Facebook and comments o. Articles, but it seems even that got the axe. 

So yeah, that’s not the link I was looking for

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood
