I keep getting error message no matter where I click on this site.

I need to click 5 times on forum and after 5 error messages I get into forum.

Is this because I am using smartphone?

Is this site no longer good on smartphones?

On each error, it says site is not returning connection.

No


Probably the service level was reduced by owner to save money and an overly zealous timeout on host response.

Admittedly being a cynic, but I advise backing up any data you may wish to look back on later:

I have already copied most of material from my debates and posts since last time site went down.

I am just worried because this site doesnt have good replacement. Will be shame if it shuts down.

While this is such a niche bit of the net, it is also unique in the value proposition.

There's several of us on the various discords, usually very low activity levels, but a nice place to stop in now and again.

I know a lot of banned members are on DebateIsland.com
They're basically a really nice comment section for a debate, minus the debate.
Due to their mass spam, and deceptive practices (they promise the moon but don't even know what to sky looks like), I will not be caught dead there.

Reddit doesn't feel like it has the options to host formal web debates. To my understanding, it's just a forum, which would suit most members but not the debaters.

I'm inspired and anti-inspired by EDeb8.com, as it is meant to be the perfect platform, but I suppose in processing power couldn't do it? Plus they're great at coding, I'm an amateur, if I tried to build a formal debate site it would fall well short of their offerings and I would not know how to fix whatever glitches creep up if it even got that far.

I do have one idea cooking in my brain, but it'd be very different to say the least, and I doubt it could foster any community like this. However, it might serve as methamphetamines to the heroine that is formal web debating.

I'll add that with advancing technology, I do not see a future in formal web debating as we knew it.

When I get the ' web server is down ' message I just refresh/recycle and then always get in.

Same. I used to get up to 10 errors in a row, but it seems to be fixed now.
