    Glad its back up and working again. We may all not agree or agree to disagree or just disagree but i'm grateful I can come to a place and talk about the Steelers.

    I tried to donate (should have been doing that a long time ago) and got to the end and hit the blue button to donate and nothing happened so I cancelled.

    Should I try again or is that messed up too?

    I will say that it did mess with my daily routine and I tried to find another message board but could not find anything remotely as good as this one.

    Hope it stays working because it is the best. Thank you mods for all you do!

    I'm not sure. I was able to make a donation using it this morning. I used PayPal to make the transaction. A mod can probably answer your question.

    I kept getting DNS errors, and when I would try to look up the site's IP address manually, the results said that the site had no DNS records. If you're not in IT, those are the Internet catalogue of addresses that tie a site name (ie. thesteelersfans.com) to it's actual address (108.160.154.119). So I don't know if the site itself was down, but the servers that tell your computer how to go to 108.160.154.119 when you type thesteelersfans.com were either down or had records deleted.

    @GoldBurgh probably just thinks business as usual.

    I figured the site was down, as @CK 13 said, it's happened before.

    Yep, I went on a search too. This board is absolutely the best.

    I once had a Visa gift card with some $$$$ on it and gave to this site. Never heard if they got it or not.

    Yeah, unless I'm remembering incorrectly, it seems like this is the longest it's ever been down, at least that I can remember.

    Since it was down so long, I actually started looking at other Steeers message boards, and they just weren't the same. My son recommended Discord, and it was more like an ongoing Slack discussion than a message board, so that's not really my preferred thing.

    I got thrown off a Pirate site once for being to critical of their cheap ass owner. I was convinced after a few weeks it was a site set up by Nuttings (owner) family.

    Yes, you are absolutely NOT ALLOWED to be a fan of a player on the team if anyone on TSF dislikes them!
