Suddenly found that my website transportsim.co.uk (not updated for ages) and domain email has ceased working. The web host was Forge Digital and when I try to reach the log in page of their site that is also gone. The assumption has to be, unless they've had a massive DDOS attack or similar they have suddenly gone kaput. Probably explains the email I had from Nominet a few weeks ago advising my domain registration had not been updated and the fact two messages to Forge about it went unanswered.
At the same time, Train Sim Dev http://www.trainsimdev.com/forum/index.php also seems to have gone off the air and I have a suspicion that might also have been hosted at Forge. I sent Jim Nobbs (the site owner) a PM via his contact details at TS but so far haven't had a response.
As regards my web site, guess that's the perils of cheap hosting. I moved to Forge after the previous host - M8 - also suddenly ceased operation. If Forge doesn't come back, I probably won't bother reviving it - it should be sitting on the Wayback machine. My heart wasn't in it that much anymore and unlike when I started out, there are plenty of train simming resources on the web these days.
If anyone else here who was also a member at Train Sim Dev or has any knowledge of what happened to Forge, some confirmation would be appreciated.

Both sites are working for me as well.

It's all back now. According to Jim at Train Sim Dev the host was doing a major server overhaul - all good!
