Damn, sorry.

I was going to edit the starting comment with information as it comes in.

Would it still be okay to keep it if I do that?

I'm not in a position to comment on this situation at this time.  The right people will address it officially when they are ready.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

That's not what I'm asking but okay. It was whether or not this thread should be merged or whatever.

I think what @wcreek was asking was whether or not this duplicate thread could be kept. The OP on the earlier thread isn't supplying information on it, it is purely discussion.

As far as we know the forum remained completely untouched, the issue was due to DNS.
