I know there are more than a few here that also visit Leverguns. It's been offline for a while now. Is it gone for good? I know postings were getting sparse.

I just bought my 1st levergun. A 1977 Marlin 1894. So I would like to know as well. Following this.
OP
Thought I'd kick this back to the top and see if anyone knows anything.
OP
Anyone know what has happened to the forum?
OP
Should have kept the emails of some of the Mods and Admin. It was acting sketchy for days before and would get better then worse. I'm hoping it's just being repaired. Lot's of good folks there.
OP
Being that I have waaay to much time on my hands, I located a fellow on a Royal Enfield Motorcycle forum that has the same unique screen name as one of the Admins. at the Leverguns forum. I PM'ed him and we'll see if he responds.
It's just frustrating to have a friendly place that is a longtime home just disappear.

This has happened a couple times in the past, I searched my email and found a note I sent to Hobie in 2014, his response was that there was a problem that came up related to a large number of spammers and David was working on it and I believe was migrating the forum to a fresh host or updated forum format. That may have been the last forum upgrade, so it may have been due for a major upgrade.
I found this thread by googling leverguns forum down, there may be others, but i came here first.

OP
I received a return message for AmBrCol who is in contact with the forum owner. I believe he is the previous owner. He isn't aware of what is happening, but he is contacting the current owner so we shall see where this goes..
OP
Okay, I contacted Andy Larsson on facebook. He responded quickly that the forum Host is having issues. It should be back up once those are solved.

My first lever was a pretty much standard Henry in .30-.30. Both my youngest son and his daughter liked it very much, although it got stuck for some reason or another and he could not fix it til we went home and he got some proper tools. He even had to call CS and prob fixed. However, I still wanted a Winchester and finally found one. A sporting rifle with a nickel steel octagon barrel mfg. in 1908 in .30 WCF. needed some fixing up, but after replacing a couple of authentic looking screws and removed the stock and refinished it, turned out to be a good shooter. Not a collector's item as previous owner's had tried to cold-blue it to get a plum patina, which failed. Currently looking for another lever, prob another Henry, this time in .22 Magnum, which I like.
I still have my dads Winchester 94 in 30 WCF. He bought it in1948 and never used anything else for hunting deer here in PA (and I can't recall him never getting one). Now it's 77 years old and I would bet that there have not been 200 rounds fired through it. He was taught/brought up "one shot, one kill" and passed that on to me. I scoped it for him when he was 75 and the 7 rounds we put through it to zero it were probably the most rounds through it at one sitting. When he gave it to me when he was 90, I took the scope off and put it back into the original condition.

It looks like a bunch of 'GoDaddy' based websites got hacked - hopefully the folks running it will be able to restore it - if so, we should contribute to a fund to make sure there is better security.

Also I found this -
Is Paco's Leverguns down? nt - The Frontier Sixshooter Community Message Board
https://sixshootercommunity.com/forum/index.php?mode=thread&id=66516
Anyone who has contact info for other 'levergunscommunity' members might want to share the above information.
Hopefully it will be back up and running soon.
I'd support public hanging for 'hackers' who do this kind of thing...

I have been wondering what happened to the forum too. I visit there occasionally and have been registered on there for years. I posted a question about it on the sixgun forum yesterday and nobody responded over there.

Do believe the web site is "migrating" to another server or site address. Over the last 4-6 weeks, I and others experienced difficulty logging on and received the message "the site was unavailable."
At that time, the site address I had was: https://www.levergunscommunity.org/
Today, I tried and was directed to: https://www.leverguns.com/
However when I clicked on the Lever Guns Forum section, the address displayed was https://www.levergunscommunity.org/ and the computer message was "this site can't be reached."
