yiersansiwuliu Posted June 6, 2015 at 07:56 PM Report Posted June 6, 2015 at 07:56 PM It's been about a week since I haven't been able to access the website China History Forum at www.chinahistoryforum.com. It says that the website is under construction does anyone know when it's going to be open again? Is the forum closed for good? Quote
ChTTay Posted June 7, 2015 at 07:37 AM Report Posted June 7, 2015 at 07:37 AM I'm not sure but I hear Chinese-Forums is pretty good for all China related topics ... Quote
yiersansiwuliu Posted June 7, 2015 at 02:00 PM Author Report Posted June 7, 2015 at 02:00 PM Trust me. China History Forum is way better for non-Chinese-language-learning purposes. It focuses on the Humanities & Social Sciences. Can you tell me, are you able to access the site without any problems? Quote
yiersansiwuliu Posted June 9, 2015 at 04:29 PM Author Report Posted June 9, 2015 at 04:29 PM If anyone knows what happened to the site, I'd appreciate your input. Quote
Shelley Posted June 9, 2015 at 09:40 PM Report Posted June 9, 2015 at 09:40 PM If I search china history forum, I get this http://www.chinese-outpost.com/newsletters/the-china-history-forum.asp The link in your post doens't work, maybe they have stopped, try the one I found maybe. Quote
gato Posted June 9, 2015 at 09:48 PM Report Posted June 9, 2015 at 09:48 PM It seems that the domain registration may have expired. You can try to contact the site owner at the gmail address listed here: http://www.betterwhois.com/bwhois.cgi?verification=5132&domain=chinahistoryforum.com&submitbtn=Continue Quote
dwq Posted June 10, 2015 at 03:03 AM Report Posted June 10, 2015 at 03:03 AM Found their facebook page. The owner said he's going to sell the site 2 months ago so perhaps he didn't bother to renew it. https://www.facebook.com/chinahistoryforum Quote
roddy Posted June 10, 2015 at 08:23 AM Report Posted June 10, 2015 at 08:23 AM Be a shame if the site disappeared, they've been around for ages - longer than we have maybe, not sure. Quote
yiersansiwuliu Posted June 15, 2015 at 05:37 PM Author Report Posted June 15, 2015 at 05:37 PM I've contacted the Super Moderator and told me that he doesn't know what's going either. It was speculated that the forum is temporarily closed due to the handover of the website to a new owner. Whoever that owner is, I'd say that his website managing skills are sh!t. 1 Quote
imron Posted June 16, 2015 at 03:07 AM Report Posted June 16, 2015 at 03:07 AM Senyokbalgul, as new member here you're maybe not be so familiar with our T&C's, one of which is that we ask people not to swear unless specifically asking or answering a question about swearing. 1 Quote
