What Happened to EHM Finland?

Post by Tasku »

Just wondering what happened to EHM Finland. I haven't been able to find the site for a couple of days now, instead you get this "Welcome to EHMFinland" - website, with a blondie smiling like she's trying to sell something and a load of travel destination links next to her.

Has it been shut down for good, or just temporary malfunction?

Or are others able to get in, just not me? :cry:

Just ran a Google search for it, and got the same thing. :dunno:

Cute girl, though. ;)

Heh. She sure is.

Losing the site would be a shame though. It's the only place for Finnish speaking EHMers to get advice in their own language.

Nice, small community, much like TBL. :cry:

I think the server is just down or something like that. Im sure that ehmfinland is not "shut down".

I have Koli on my messenger, so i'll try to catch up with him.

And this seems to be my first post in here... hi ;).

If I remember right.. one adminstrator is in army and he left all dutys to the other adminstrator.
Maybe they are out of cash to pay bills.. you Tasku and Poro know the Finnish army daily allowance, not much money. ;)

Relly start to miss that site.. my gm story was unfinished. :cry:

If the site were down, I don't think you'd get a page like that - you'd probably get a 404 error or some other sort of server error. The page with the blonde is basically a holding page which the webhost puts up when nobody owns the domain page. Perhaps EHM Finland's subscription has expired. I hope they do come back - although I can't understand much Finnish, it would be such a shame to see the EHM community shrink further. First we lost Eastside-UK and then the SI Forums have merged all their EHM Forums into one; lets not lose another community. I think there's a lot to be said for strength in numbers. :cry:

Just got confirmation that Koli (the site owner) is in army at the moment. So i think there's nothing to worry about and he will get the site back to running when he has some time.

Good to know. I keep "going there" out of reflex every now and then. It's in my bookmarks and I always forget it's not available at the moment. :-D
