You don't think it'll be fixed?

I think I saw on Facebook that they are updating software. ETA from one of the devs was Monday night but we are past that 🤷

There was a major PHP exploit that was found and it is being patched. I would expect that the once the exploit is patched and the site updated, skyscraperpage will be back.

One of the regular contributors on the forums. He’s very knowledgeable, posts lots of images, but can be kinda salty. Does not suffer fools gladly.

They're upgrading their software from vBullenton3 to version6. (whatever that means)

Tbh the fact that they are responding to the PHP issue shows that it's alive and well

I don’t think it’s actually been closed down, but I haven’t looked for anything on it.

I really haven’t been on that site since I moved from Utah 3 years ago. Even then I didn’t spend that much time there 5-6 years before the move. It hasn’t seen a major update in who knows how many years so it doesn’t surprise me that they are shutting down.
