Issues with Fine Scale Modeler Website

I know others are having issues w/logging into the Fine Scale Modeler website. The site itself has been having problems over the last couple months where it was up and down and slow as hell. Since the last couple weeks I have not been able to log into it all. I have tried different browsers and even tried creating a new account, but no joy.

Every time I try to log in, I get the following message.

Additionally, when I try the customer service link, it wants me to log in to use it. A circular problem.

Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how did you overcome it?

I almost never get that far nowadays; the site times out completely. Actually got in this morning and it’s been at least 10 days since the Armor page was used; that suggests hardly anyone goes there anymore.

I can’t log in either. Then I try the, Forgot Password, link but then get a 404

The post from August 12th is the last and soon be reaching that 3 months from now

I’m getting a 504 Gateway Time-out message and it won’t load with a solid white screen

If my memory is correct I’ve gotten this the last few times I’ve tried accessing the web page, but I can’t remember how long its been happening. I did receive the new November/December issue today in the mail.

Hello!
I was just able to post one thing there. On the weekdays I also couldn’t see anything. Before I posted the last post there was 9 days old…
Plus FSM stopped marketing the forums on their newsletter like 2 months ago. I’d say they killed it.
So sad when you think how much was going on there in the old days - but that was MANY years ago. And I can remember at least two or three software changes they did, and every time lots of people left because of how poorly those changes were handled with bugs bothering people and so on. And despite the upgrades posting pictures there was still too hard for some not so computer savvy people… I just can’t reasonably explain that.
Looks like now I’m having more time to build models!
Have a nice day
Paweł

From my experience I’d definitely say that this is a result of a hack , ransom ware and they ain’t paying the demands of the hackers.
