Description of problem

For the last decade or so we have had a forum on this address http://silenthill.heavenforum.org

Now it redirects here http://silenthill.yoo7.com

Can anyone tell me what happened? I was an administrator and I have contacted the founder as well.

Is it your forum or a different forum? I mean can you log into this forum?

The http://silenthill.heavenforum.org is my forum, yes (it can be seen here https://web.archive.org/web/20160914175717/http://silenthill.heavenforum.org/ )

http://silenthill.yoo7.com/ is not my forum and I don't know who administers it.

Could you please provide a link that I could try to log into my forum? I always went through the forum link, never through URL, because I didn't need it.

Somewhere around the year 2006, I think.

Exactly it would be better if the founder came here and asked for help. The founder would have information that we need.

I am going to ask her to join this forum. However, she has not been involved with the forum for a long time. In the meantime, can you tell me what information do you need from her?

The email used to create the forum. Do not post it in this topic. Send it by PM to me.

Hello @joseftrejbal

Here it is : http://silenthill.catsboard.com

The goal is to group the forums on the most used domains to facilitate their management and maintenance especially with regard to SSL certificates and future package updates.

If your forum has a domain name acquired through Forumotion and the redirection of the base URL is forced to the personal domain, the change of base URL will be transparent and not visible that's why we recommend using a custom domain name

Please take a look at this : Technical maintenance on Forumotion domains.
