What happened to the Rybka forum?

Domain expired? Server moving? Domain sold?

I get the same screen. Maybe sales of Rybka 3 weren't as good as I thought :)

Hi Guenther,

The forum is fine and very much alive.
Looks to as either there's something wrong with your linkbase somehow, or something nasty gets in between when you try to access.
Anyway, bottomline, it's there.

Best,
Henrik

Are you sure?(did you reload and not load from cache?)
I have always linked to the link also given from the Rybka web site
and if you look at the WHOIS database given by me you'll see that
the domain really expired! (http://rybkaforum.net/)

Best,
Guenther

I am sure you also loaded just from cache without reloading.
The domain is expired... ahem

May be they just forgot to renew the account for the forum, or they
are moving and forgot to add an interim site ;-)
