    Yeah

    Loads of people would not get the email or it will go to spam. For them they'll get here by

    • The url being passed around (please keep passing it around)
    • Google search
    • Eventually we'll unlock the account and get the old url back and that will redirect

    We don't have a time frame on unlocking the account

    Google search will help. We are indexed again and are appearing on searches for 'silverfern forum' etc (tested in incognito mode)
    There's things we can do to improve the chances of finding us via google. Still working on that

    a search for silverfern forum comes up with the new page as first result for me.
    would the more searches taking place help direct more results here?

    Googles AI answer makes the fern sound very civilized and polite...
    The "Silverfern Forum" refers to the discussion forum on the Silver Fernes website. It's a place for users to engage in discussions, ask questions, and participate in general conversation. The forum is organized into sections like "General Discussion" and "Questions & Answers"

    Pleased everything is back up and running… I thought New Zealand Rugby had had the page taken down for the leaked lineups!

    It's actually the shitty old server still

    We had a huge bot issue and they're all gone. Millions of hits

    We'll still upgrade to the faster server soon. There's better bot protection on that already

    Results are tailored for each user. You’ve been to the url already so google will take that into account.

    So the real test is when you are in incognito mode

    Active threads will help. Eventually the old .com links will drop off

    An anonymous chrome tab. Different browsers have different names for it

    Sorry Duluth, should have made it obvious by adding a wink emoji 😉

    Brilliant work @Duluth and @Kirwan
    you don’t know how much you miss this place until it is gone.

    It was so strange having a couple of big games to watch without the chat

    I missed the match thread when watching Frog 3. There's some really useful running insights and thoughts in those threads.

    Really well done guys - I'll hold off on posting any memes to keep traffic down in the hope of encouraging @MN5 to do the same..

    The outage probably saved the server from exploding completely at the time of Ardie's chip kick on Saturday night...

    When I saw that I actually tried to login to see @bones reaction....
