Hi all. I haven’t been able to access the old [forum.processing.org](http://forum.processing.org) archives for the past few days. I’ve been trying to research some functionality for a new project and would love to have access to the knowledge there. Can anyone point me to an active link or are the servers just down?  
Thanks.

Legacy sites, including [forum.processing.org](http://forum.processing.org) (old forums archive), /stats/, and /bugzilla/, are offline for maintenance and hosting migration. We’ll address this issue as soon as possible after we return from our holiday break. Apologies for the inconvenience!

In the meantime, the Internet Archive can be used to access the old forums archive: [Processing Forum](https://web.archive.org/web/20240913031547/http://forum.processing.org/)

We will be posting updates about this issue at [https://processing.statuspage.io/](https://processing.statuspage.io/)

We have restarted the server yesterday and it seems to hold so far. However, we haven’t been able to identify the source of the repeated crashes we had in December 🤔

We will keep an eye on the server and try to identify the source of the issue if it crashes again. In the meantime, [forum.processing.org](https://forum.processing.org/) is accessible again.
