Is anybody else having trouble accessing the website? When I try to access the main site, I get this message:

"Database Error: Unable to connect to your database. Your database appears to be turned off or the database connection settings in your config file are not correct. Please contact your hosting provider if the problem persists."

When I try to access the forum, I get this:

"An error occured with the SQL server:
This is not a problem with the IPS Community Suite but rather with your SQL server. Please contact your host and copy the message shown above."

I can access other sites just fine; I used multiple computers and my phone and got the same effect.

There must be a problem with the SHS server, but it's odd because Gibberlings 3 is on the same server and they are still up. Also, 'downforeveryone' says that SHS is up -- it's down for me. Seems a lot of people are having issues, though.

It's down for me as well. I'm getting a SQL error when trying to enter the main site. It's not an isolated problem for sure.

Yikes, that reddit post was two weeks ago, hope everything is with the SHS team.

Well the team are aware of it because 'pcamagna' on that reddit post is part of the team.

Both SHS and Gibberlings3 have had prolonged downtimes throughout their history, but they've always come back so far.

If you are looking for a specific mod, and cannot find a mirror to download it from, feel free to PM me. I cannot guarantee I have it or have its latest version, but I'll do my best.

If you are looking for information in the forums, try the Wayback Machine. I cannot check right now if there is anything mirrored there since it seems to be malfunctioning, lots of 500 and 503 errors.

For now i don't need any specific mod, i was just curious to know what was happend to the website.
If i look for some specific mod i'll surely pm you.

XzAr_79: (...)
The forums are working right now, and SHS now has an official GitHub organization, where they are mirroring mods (after the author authorizes them):
