Ok... I'm an idiot and did not really read properly. Yup, the EDC forums site seems to be gone.

I've noticed several sites over the last few months have either shutdown or simply disappeared. There have also been a few sites that have been "de-platformed" which have turned up in new places on different service provider sites. The odd thing I find is that there are also sites that "signed off" several years ago, are never updated but are still on-line... it's just odd.
