Popular sim site down?

Post by Macs »

Hi,
I hope I am not out of order here, but was wondering if any of you had tried to access AVSIM.com site lately? I am getting a "cannot find server" warning. Is the site down? Just curious. Thanks,
regards,
Macs :)

Hi Folks

Avsim was all ok at 13:35 GMT,
and still there at 13:45.

EDIT
Just realised this forum software doesn't automatically account for DST.

I had problems with Avsim very early on Tuesday. I wanted to check something out in the file library. Fortunatly, I used an old page from my browsing history and it worked and even though I could not get the home page, I was able to access the library files. Just something to try if it happens again.
