Calguns ?

[Flouncer]

Site and all poofed about 8 days ago. Not as shooting focused as here but a staunch advocacy site with good info on a wide variety of subjects and a side dish of humor. Anyone here know what happened to them ? I know they have had server transition issues and problems over the last 6 months and supposedly were going to upgrade and switch ? I would hazard a guess and offer that they are one of the top 3 viewed and member sites in the subject.

I've been wondering the same thing

They posted about a maintenance window a week or so ago, maybe the maintenance was more than they expected?

Ouch ! That site has tens of thousands of members and it's down and out. What a debacle. Hope for the best.

Looks like calguns.net is going to be down for awhile with no stated date for coming back online. Detailed update from the calguns crew on Reddit here:

Calguns.org is the “backup” site. Works & updates were posted there a couple days ago when I checked.

Yes, calguns.org is up, though I haven't read through it to see what's what yet. Calguns.net participants will need to re-register (and wait to be approved) to post on .org.

Prone.life: Not sure, but I think your Reddit mention has to do with a different site (CAguns rather than Calguns.) Haven't visited the CAGuns site yet.

calguns.net is back up but he still has bugs to fix.

Thanks for the update. Not much new content, though I suppose that should be expected.

I can not get any Calguns page to open. They are all 404. Care to share a link ? thanks

Note that the page won't load going to the top level. If you hit the Forums button, you'll get the top level page.

Site is dead. YGTBSM. Over a $149 CPU.

Well, as most of you have noticed our 'soft rollout' of the new server has been less than optimal. In simpler terms it has sucked. This has been due to a weak CPU on the server(4 core/8 thread/32GB RAM) that I was told would have enough power for a forum. I am upgrading to a 'larger' server (8 core/16 thread/128GB RAM).
Check www.calguns.org or the FB Calguns Members group for updates.
