PC-BSD website off-line
Shortly after the release of PC-BSD 10.3, the project's website went off-line. At the time of writing the PC-BSD website, forums and documentation have been off-line for about three days. Direct download links to the project's ISO files continue to work. At this time there has been no official word on the project's social media pages as to what is causing the outage or when PC-BSD's website will be back on-line.

PC-BSD's website has been down for almost a week and
I haven't seen any information as to why.

Anyone have any news?

They announced a new release, 10.3, a week ago today and almost immediately there was trouble accessing their website, which I though might be related to a flood of users upgrading to, or downloading the new release. You might get on or you might get a "503" message. That lasted a day or so and then the site disappeared completely.

Have they folded their tent and vanished into the night or did someone trip over a power cord?

I don't use PC-BSD but on checking just now their site at http://www.pcbsd.org/ is up.

Thanks for that. It is, at the moment, but wasn't when I started the thread.
Maybe they plugged it back in and all will be well.

It appears they plugged it back in mid Monday morning (their time) and all is back to normal.
