if you try to open the Winamp forum
this is what it shows --->This site is currently inactive on vBulletin Cloud.
according to vBulletin the current owner has not renewed the hosting for another year.

Yeah.. I noticed that as well when I went to add my count to the recycle bin thread.
Guess time will tell if it's an oversight and someone forgot to renew it (or missed the notice to renew it) or decided not to on purpose. Don't see a link to the forums on their main website so who knows (don't really know if there used to be one though). Oh well.. we shall see.

It's just that time of year since they moved to the cloud hosted version of the forum where it goes down as they never wanted to keep it (why else would it be only paid for a year at a time?). Also with the mess that arose last year & going "source available", I highly doubt the person who seemed to behind paying it the 2 prior times I can think of it going down is going to have the corporate credit card to resolve it.
A shame in some respects but since they'd already broken all of the links when they moved to the cloud version of the forum along with seemingly losing a load of attachments & also the waybackmachine only having a partial scraped copy of it (as the 2013 rush job was massively incomplete nor was it ever re-done to get what was missing after the sale kept it initially going) it's usefulness was already lost.

Well.. forum appears to be back up now.

yep
wonders still excist , the impossible takes a bit longer
