Welcome to the EpicureanFriends Emergency Backup Site.

This page is hosted separately from our main EpicureanFriends.com account, so outages at that location should not effect this site.
As of February 17, 2024, the EpicureanFriends.com forum is operating smoothly. As of today we have set up a new Telegram channel, which you can reach by clicking here, and that will also provide a check-in point should the main forum be inoperable for any reason.
For questions please email Cassius. Info about past outages is below for record purposes.

10/30/24 Outage. Our hosting provider was fully down for about an hour at 9:00 AM. The problem spontaneously resolved and the site was back up by 10:00 AM.

12/28/23 Outage. Due to a failed upgrade to version 6 of the Woltlab software, the EpicureanFriends.com forum went down and had to be restored from backup. Probably 10 hours of posts were losts. Apologies to all who lost data. For questions please email Cassius.

11/22/23 Outage: The site was down due to unreachable databases for about an hour. This was the fault of the hosting provider and should not indicate an ongoing problem.

8/17/23 Outage: As of 6:00 AM on 8/17/23 we are aware that EpicureanFriends is experiencing a technical error. We are investigating and will update this page with new information as soon as possible. Because NewEpicurean.com is also down it appears that this is a hosting error and not related specifically to the Epicureanfriends forum software. In the meantime, as always, Cassius can be emailed at Cassius@Epicureanfriends.com
