I haven't been able to reach the site recently. I mostly stopped using it, because the mods are crazy, and pretty awful to some people. So I'm not shocked that they'd drive it into the ground. I was going to look up a couple things I know were on there.
Sawmill Creek dead?

I just checked a few minutes ago and it seems to be working mostly fine. You need to use https://sawmillcreek.org as https://www.sawmillcreek.org seems to have redirect and login issues.

Carlos - I'm darn sorry to hear about your experience. I hope it's been better, here.
It's possible they banned your IP.
Mods have a few tools at their disposal.
An over-compensating mod could even stop you from viewing their forum.
Try browsing in incognito mode from a different computer.
Really - the best hing to do is to understand there's jerks in the world, and to stay away from them.
It's not fair - it's not right ----- but it'll save you a huge headache.
I was a PHP moderator back when the technology was new. I stopped doing this stuff a decade ago when
a discontent and banned individual started threatening me in person at my home --- and even sent a letter to my employer
complaining about my use of business resources. (my boss laughed).

I never posted on sawmillcreek, and maybe glanced at it once or twice before, so there's no reason my IP should be blocked nor should I be banned... unless they scan competitor woodworking sites like sawdustzone and ban folks that participate on competitors? Whatever, neither link works for me. Both time out.

They can't ban my IP, I have hundreds of them, and tried a few from various parts of the country. I also switched to cellular to test it (random IPs). I have machines in two datacenters and control servers in many other locations.
I just hopped over to a neighbor's network, same, site's dead.

Just tried both links, and they both worked. Tried the "revised" link in Twistsol's post above (#2) for my first time ever visit yesterday and got in then, too, Maybe a registered user cookie? I have different browsers for access to different things, although they're all based on Chrome, anymore..Not all Chrome based browsers work the same way at banks and health sites.
Yes, Sawdust Zone is by far the most civil and kind forum on the net.Last edited by d_meister; 06-12-2020, 10:48 AM.Comment
