Hey guys and gals, just got off the phone with @AFX and wanted to give a heads up about being offline for a few days.
Was simply site maintenance, shifting data across servers to prevent data overload from interrupting the site.
Should be all good now with less outages and issues.
If anyone has any problems with images not uploading or anything else, just let us know and can look into it… otherwise it’s business as usual 
Oh good… Thought it was raided or something hhaha
I thought maybe blastermasters Chinese hacker mates did a number, after his “business” was exposed as fraudulent…
I was starting to get withdrawal symptoms, checking every copy hours to see if it was back up 
I also thought it might have been some weird method of geo blocking cos being from NSW and all.
Glad to have it back! Had to settle for discord and Reddit shudders
This is so much better.
Same here mate, and was starting to do my head in 
P.S. Replied to friend request on the Akgelblaster Discord after not seeing my messages for a while 
I dont go to discord at all, normally.
Interesting to see what others take, on the forum is…
I think that there is quite a bit of information on here, that is interesting and relevant.
New items are reviewed quite quickly.
As for banter, i think it makes the place a bit more interesting.
Anyone is welcome to join in…i suspect there a quite a few lurkers…
Which is why i was curious , as to what traffic numbers are.
No need to hold your tongue, get involved…!
We don’t bite…
These were part of quite a few topics that @AFX and myself discussed during our lengthy phone call.
There could have been an opportunity to retrieve some parts of the old GBF, but in reality, it would be a massive task to actually achieve anything with it… especially considering how outdated much of it would be in the hobby, taking into consideration newer technology and products these days.
This new Forum is up to date, has many experienced people who have a large variety of many different skills, and we are already building a new wealth of current knowledge from the members already 
A great place to not only share the technical side of this hobby, but also serves as a great Social Club for like minded people to have a bit of banter, get to know each other and have a place to enjoy interactions without any dramas
It’s also good to see plenty of international people also enjoying the Forum, as the popularity of Gelblasters is growing steadily in other countries, which also gives them a good knowledge base to tap into
