Yeah, it says:

We have temporarily halted all new site registrations. We hope to continue accepting new members next month.

And while we're on the subject of other weaponry sites: has catawiki stopped doing weaponry auctions? Used to be every week. Now nothing for almost two months.

Noticed that for some time. Shame, as there's a great thread on English rapier blade types that I wanted to add to.

... And now MyArmoury has been down for several weeks. It seemed to be a pretty active forum so it's surprising that it just disappeared like that. Does anyone have more information about what is going on over there?

EDIT: Hm, seems like it might be a outdated software induced forum death:

And as another forum related datapoint, aside from unsuccessfully having been trying to register at myarmoury for the last two years, I've also tried several times during that same time frame to register with swordforum.com, only to be thwarted by the captcha you need to complete during registration, which does not load.

I have had similar issues with swordforum I can still log in but do not have permissions to reply, post or edit etc. Requests to admin unanswered & gave up trying after a year or so.

Just checked. There are a few 'edged weapons' items on it, postage & customs to UK is outrageous tho, so I've stopped using them. Those in the EU may have better rates.

Yeah, they still do some ethnographic arms as part of tribal art auctions, and there are still samurai auctions, but the weekly edged weapons auctions are gone. I wonder where all those sellers moved to now.

I just exchanged emails with Chad Anrow, Nathan's right hand guy. Nathan has been unresponsive even to him. Chad hopes someone will work it out, For the time being, I can suggest using archive.org for reading either board. SFI similarly, no responses via the board but you can try pinging Mark on Facebook (him direct or the SFI page), as he is quite done with my suggestions.

MyArmoury seems to be back up!

Still can't register, though.

Best ways to communicate during periods of site instability?http://myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=40130

Current forum software limitations

That's it, in a nutshell.

While MyArmoury is still back up (but still not accepting new members), swordforum.com now seems to be gone.

I checked Sword Forum a couple of weeks ago.
Nada.
