hey guys it was not a bots problem , things are more serious  :-X

here are the last words  RCK said on the EAB irc channel:

"Hello guys, the forum is 24 years old now and has lasted long enough. I'm bankrupt and can no longer afford this domain because the donations aren't enough.
My wife is divorcing me and she  will be taking my house and most of my belongings, which are also just debts. In a a few days I'll be homeless and, of course, I'll have other priorities than Amiga's business. I hope you understand. I wish you all the best, RCK."

 :(

again is not a bots problem,  the website is down for non-payment
as I said above RCK is suffering a divorce he'll be evicted from the house next week.
some EAB members offered to house him, but he declined and plans to travel to India and convert to Buddhism

It's not down!?!

@LaserBack Please can you link to these announcements? (Which RCK himself seems to be debunking)

These are all things that were discussed on the IRC channel. RCK also said he's frustrated with the feminist laws of France which harmed him, with the immigrants in who can no longer go out safe at night, etc
also the website was attacked by russian hackers, all of that  exhausted his patience.
but it seems the main reason is that there's no money to pay the debts of the website and yet no EAB member offered a viable solution

well guys if you don't believ what I posted you can join the IRC channel and ask members what happened
but fact is  that yesterday RCK took a flight to Bombay with tears in his eyes and he didn't say whether he would return or not
The problem is that most of EAB's donors are just Amiga fans which are constantly purchasing unnecessary Amiga hardware,then most of them are divorced/bankrupt so the site was accumulating debt and so on here's the result.
