Is it just me or is the "following the iron brush" forum gone? It won't load for me neither from my native IP nor with various VPNs. Did I miss something?

I tried messaging the FB page, but was met with a bot reply directing me to FAQ and asking to use email for business inquiries. Guess I could send a letter if no info comes up here.

All I can say is that 500 is a generic internal server error. It could mean their hosting is down, that they have a problem with some PHP code, or just about anything.
I noticed Hyper-cafe was down for the better part of a week at some point. So, all may not be lost.

Now that you mention it, the Internet Archive shows it has been broken at least since Nov. 9th, 2020. The most recent, successful crawl is from Jan. 10th, 2019.
Now, it could have broken anywhere between those two dates, so it is hard to say for sure.
The domain is still owned, and was purchased through Fastdomain, and is valid at least until April of this year (assuming it isn't renewed). Looks like they are using Bluehost for hosting, on a LAMP stack, but either they did a proper job not disclosing their PHP version or their PHP is broken.

Just looked that Ford posted on Instagram yesterday, you could maybe hit him up there. Unfortunately I am not a tosogu guy so I am not too up to date on that world.

Nope, no reply. Same as when I asked him about this under one of his YT videos. Sent him an email. Will see if he replies.

That is too bad. In my opinion Ford is an amazing craftsman but very bad in running business/projects. I feel he has way too many projects going on at the same time.

I agree. He's a craftsman like no other. I really appreciate him uploading all the informative videos he makes. There's a lot to learn from him. That's why it's so unfortunate the forum went down, there were many other skilled people there who shared their knowledge as well
