Is anthrogenica.com gone?

[Excine]

It's still down for me, very strange. @Riverman, are you able to use AG? I'm in US, maybe that's why.

[ThirdTerm]

The mostly likely reason is that the domain has expired. A parked domain is a domain name that is registered, but not connected to an online service like a website.

No, it's completely down for many hours by now. If the domain is expired, nobody should have had access to it lately. Are you guys sure you could access the page at any time today? Even shortly? Not just looking at the saved cache?

Makes sense, from what I can remember, it's been down for nearly 24 hours. I hope it comes back up soon, or atleast make an announcement somewhere about it's website status.

I think user DMXX was one of the cofounders of Anthrogenica. When I click on the link to his blog (first link above) and then select “My website”, I get the message in the second link.

I tested with FTDNA back in 2008 and in those days there was a huge forum called DNA Forums that everyone used. Similar thing happened there; it stopped working. That, from what I can recall, resulted in the formation of Anthrogenica.

A lot of important threads in AG, I hope it can be recovered or come back up ASAP.

Agree with you 100%. I learned a lot over there.

I saw the "this domain was recently registered with Namecheap" for a little while yesterday, then the normal website came back up. Now I see the message again. Maybe it will come back? I have no idea what's happening.

[Excine]

Maybe servers are down for a few regions, perhaps an update? Who knows,

[capisan]

isn't work anthrogenica since yesterday

[Flann Fina]

In the meantime, are there any good forums besides eupedia & anthrogenica?

[mitchellsince1893]

It wouldn't work for me on my laptop yesterday, but kept working for me on my phone until about an hour ago. I know it was up because I received a private message today in response to a pm I sent yesterday.

I even made a post via my phone in the trouble shooting section...so it was like it was slowly shutting down/increasingly limited access over the last couple of days.

A lot more users are being able to gain access, us who don't, should have access soon as well.

Ok thanks for the info. Still down for me.

Sounds like a technical/attack issue. That's good insofar as it means they might get it back soon - hopefully.

Not the first time Anthrogenica was DDOS'ed if that is/was the case, last time it took almost a week for it to get back up, and some major reconfiguration from the hosts.

As for me, it has worked pretty well, no hiccups. I wonder why.

Let me put my tinfoil hat on.

On a more serious note. I do wonder why that website would be such a target. From what I see nothing to controversial going on there, compared to some cesspools.

Timing was perfect, just as we were all looking like a bunch of 6 year olds on Christmas morning awaiting samples from the “Southern Arc” series of papers to drop and…boom…Anthrogenica goes off line.

Last time too, not sure what was going on but people were pretty aggravated.

I was wondering for a bit why there was not much new on my feed, thought its just people partying for the weekend But knowing how exited everyone is about the new papers, who even cares about booze at the beach, lol

About 15 years ago there was a forum called “DNA Forums”. It was probably as big as Anthrogenica today. Around 2013 it just disappeared and never returned. That resulted in the formation of AG and probably increased user numbers here at Eupedia.

Maybe its for the best, this hobby attracts quite a lot of looney toons. xD

Urban Dictionary: anthrogenica

I was checking, and I stumbled across this. It does seem that some people dislike the place strongly.
