Apologies for the site being down, was out of our hands.
A crucial part of the infrastructure got locked, and we are having trouble getting back into it. To get us back up and running we have a backup URL;
The Silver Fern
Awful analysis, incorrect conclusions, zero insight. Wrong about pretty much everything
and the direct to the forum url is;
The Silver Fern
A New Zealand rugby forum. We cover all NZ sports and International rugby. Formerly thesilverfern.com
Probably going to have a few things broken over the next week, just let us know in here and we'll keep cleaning up.

Well that was a fuckup. A quick history..
The site has been up in some form since 1999
In 2002 @bartman registered thesilverfern.com (a .co.nz address was also used for a while)
That url was registered to Bart's brother and I don't think had been touched for a decade or so. He's locked out of that account for now
Oops
The url is still registered to us but no one can log in to pay for it right now.
We'll get it back eventually. Tomorrow? Next week? Next month?
I quite like the silverfern.rugby url
When we get the .com url it will redirect to the .rugby address
Thanks @BartMan for your help. Also thanks to @Hooroo for helping us track him down

A bulk email will be going out soon
However lots of people don't have a valid email associated to their account. If they do it's likely to go to their spam folder as well
So please let other people know the new url. Post on social media, other forums, or just texting/emailing people you know that post here
We'll get the redirect from the .com address eventually but that may take some time

The spam account was a good trick. Found my password re-set attempts in there

Yeah, I'm half way through fixing that so emails don't end up in there.

Incredible amount of time and effort put in by Duluth and Kirwan to solve this.
For reward, if you know you’re a bit of a dickhead or you spam a whole of on inane shit (like The Open location) then maybe post a bit less so they don’t have to deal with your shit.
I’ve taken my own advice.

Well done Dulth and Kirwan for the work behind the scenes to get this back up and running.

You're a bit fired up there
If this happened a week ago it would've been quicker to resolve. I was in the middle of setting up the new forum server. So I decided to try and complete that at the same time.. but it was taking too long
So we're still on the old box and that migration will happen later

The pork chops I refer to are the reason for the fire up
they know who they are. -

Thanks guys
It was like a loss in the family this past weekend
Had to resort to this instead

@MiketheSnow Absolutely Mike. Glad it is back. All is right with the world again!
On the flip side, there was no chance for trolling South Africans to get their gloat in over the u20s WC final win. Maybe the admins foresaw it
