Well, the site is still here in July... but everytime I visit I get the expired cert warning. If no one is managing the site on the back end, then missing posts could be the least of the concerns. Oldest posts could be dumped as part of a purge process to keep the database managable, or newer posts could get dumped after a database update/restore (with the newer posts not backed up).

As a new member this is disconcerting to say the least.

Perhaps it is time we establish our own forum?
I for one am researching the possibility, and willing to give it a go.
My problem is the lack of programming and IT knowledge.
I have found an abandoned atheist forum I am using in the meantime. It is perfectly functional except it does not have an administrator or moderator.
Being a learn as I go project, it will take some time. Any help and input is extremely welcome.

Like a few others have said before, I see my posts have disappeared. I browse ahead to post and later notice that the posts are gone. Then I re-word and put them back.

We're all thinking these things, and wondering these days. I'm not sure if we're the Marie Celeste, or maybe in the internet Bermuda Triangle, but it all seems like drifting.

Confirmed

It’s going to lose members this way and will die off because of that. I feel there’s only a handful of regulars on here anyway.

Where did you read that the certification is going to expire on that date, under what section of the site can that be read???

I thought Certs were breath fresheners.

The Domain Registration has been renewed otherwise we could not post here, the site would go offline. The Server simply needs maintenance work. Also, many people have computers which have never been serviced even with Windows 10 built in maintenance tools. Computers will slow down without regular maintenance.

If this website ceases to exist, I have enjoyed being a member and participating in it.

I believe that Agnostic.com and Slug.com are both run by the same Admin, Michael Barnes. He probably has a team or two to manage both sites. They have a few technical problems on Slug, too, but the problems are not going to be solved anytime soon because Admin never responds to any problem reports. Both sites are run by ghosts, probably. Lol

If I remember correctly, someone called spiketalon or something implied some time ago that they know Admin personally and they have Admin's email address. Perhaps, they may be able to share some information with us as to whether this site is closing down soon or not.

Oh…more prophesies of doom again! Every few months for the past two years we seem get someone posting a message similar to this one…. If it ends it ends. We’ve paid nothing in except our time, and we’ve had a great old time interacting with some convivial (and a few less so) people with similar irreligious views to our own. If we have forged closer friendships due to meeting here, it’s more than likely we will have exchanged some other sort of contact details as a contingency plan to insure against the doomsday scenario, should the site closing down ever becoming a reality.
