Life Giving Store is also offline.

Now it's back with this message.

"A storm took out the server in our data center. We are in the process of moving to a new server. Thank you so much for your patience."

Consistent with the solar detox theory from @revenant. Ahem.

@Lovesickhs18 More than a decade. And this is what happens with unchecked power.

If the forum comes back online, just save as much as you can to hard drive and then upload to other places.

This is data

Im putting this out there
With the chance this is n = 1

Just received a before work text

Unauthorized charges through PayPal were made
Around 100$
Yesterday

She is calling PayPal now
Said it was linked to the “forum label”

This is someone who has no clue as to the drama and what not

Posting here to give heads up

Certainly hope im wrong and can delete when resolved

[Verdad]

@Peatful So you think that Carlie made an illegal unauthorised charge to your paypal account from when you were a forum supporter? I cancelled my support after he lost his mind.

[Peatful]

@Verdad

Thank you for clarifying

I have a personal friend who joined once it became subscribers only
Like a year ago maybe?
Before the overt changes

Last night there were unauthorized charges on her cc
They were pending
They were connected or labeled through the forum
The RPF

She is calling her cc company or PayPal this morning to dispute said charges

It was three
They totaled ~100$

Addendum: she is located in the US.

To add
She only did the one time subscription service
Not a monthly withdrawal

Hope this is helpful

I continue supporting Charlie. I hope he regains his perspective. I like him and he has been very helpful to the Peat movement.

I can't live without it. (Mainly the old information that is there, the new information has already lost direction)

I am now collecting every possible Ray Peat information from the web and keeping a backup on my computer in case it is external factors. For some reason they also removed the entire backup of the forum from the Internet Archive. It is stressful.

I even started transcribing all his interviews from YouTube and everywhere.

This has already been accomplished. Someone else posted the link already...the "peatarchive." I think internet archive respects copyright law. But some of the other archive sites don't, lol. It's a dumbass law anyways, Charlie better recognize he's not in control of the information on that forum. We have it all already.

@Gaston Yep, he killed it. Personally I don't believe any of the conspiracy theories that were proposed here, I think the whole debacle was just Charlies retardation/going insane.

Same for me. My philosophy is don't contribute malevolent intent when sheer stupidity usually suffices. I don't think he's smart enough to be that evil intentionally, lol.

You are funny hamster.

[LetTheRedeemed]

@Ecstatic_Hamster Hey, I'm also no supporter of how Charlie has treated long time friends, but by purity of this comment, I think it stands on it's own merit and should be honored as such - one human seeing the humanity in another

for those who can't stand Charlie and his camp, consider pitying the dude - an old Victorian thing that can be done while also acknowledging stupidity or need for justice, without losing your humanity.

I think the most boring answer is usually the right answer - no conspiracy needed - weather knocked out his store website, and likely did it to rpf, too. Weather has been terrible at least in the Southern Midwest in the US (a tornado killed 6 last week).

[VehmicJuryman]

The forum is inaccessible and the archive isn't working for me. Even if I copy and paste the exact title of the thread I want to read into the archive search I can't find it. Very cool how Charlie wiped out tens of thousands of posts of priceless information from the internet to defend a copyright he quite literally has zero legal or moral right to hold. Genuinely unfathomable how he thinks he has a right to profit from the Ray Peat name because he registered a website domain.

Re Storms in the Southern USA: I spoke yesterday to my Pops who is in the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and he said very strong weather from Texas thru to the East Coast. So this RPF "Website Down" could be related to that, OR, as has been said, the Lion just pulled the plug. I just checked and nothing... no wayback machine either! I am in Tasmania, and no nothing. I suspect he did 'erase' the old forum. Hope I am wrong.

I had been visiting the site once a week or so to research old threads, and sometimes make an occasional contributing content, but.... . It all went south in my humble opinion with the crazy aSS Mofo pushing "Poison Vit A" Purge = Health syndrome.

[tubert]

@Ecstatic_Hamster you must be joking...

[Mulloch94]

@VehmicJuryman The Archive works fine for me, you just need to search by username. I don't know who made the archive or how they've set it up. But there's certain hosting companies won't respect copyright because they're in the "copyleft movement." There's several VPS groups out here in protected jurisdictions overseas that will allow you to host whatever you want (provided it's not CSAM or some other dark shit), including copyrighted materials, lol. Doubt Charles can do anything about that, but you can always download the archive just to be safe.

10:00 Zulu time....
RPF now gets this page info:

Storms Rock The Dallas Texas area and Knocks out RayPeatForum.com Servers
raypeatforum17 on May 30, 2024

Early Sunday morning the 26th of May storms rocked the Dallas Texas area and took out the Ray Peat Forum servers. The hosting company declared a force majeure the damage was so extensive. We are in the process now of rebuilding the server and bringing the forum back online. At this time we do not have an ETA but soon as I get more info I will post it here. We have a backup of the forum right before the server went down. We are just waiting for the server to be fully brought back online to upload it. Soon as I have more info I will post here.

charlie

[sharko]

@Mulloch94 Right, I took that backup also

[sharko]

@Ecstatic_Hamster I need to find a time for this but I'll build a super easy to navigated, orginized archive and a smarter peat ai bot than the one that already live, including smart filtering and score for types of content creators, like peat content vs top forum members content while remove regular members opinions.

I also need to rebuild the content I generated from all the interviewsadd all Georgy interviews (because I trust him like in Peat)

BTW, you are M.C by chance Beacuse his ingenious content made me exposed to Peat

[revenant]

If the forum comes back online, how would one take a backup of it?

[zawisza]

@revenant Backups already exist.
