Its still there, but it looks like the SSL key has expired.

http://forums.energymatters.com.au/

Your browser will have a sissy fit and jump up and down and say the site has a expired security certificate or something like that, just ignore it. There will be a option somewhere to let you proceed.

5 years ago no one cared about SSL unless you were a bank. I fear the days of the personal hobby web site are coming to an end. The browsers, google, and facebook are killing us off slowly but surely.

You need to get into the security settings of your browser and tweak a few settings.

For security reasons it blocks out sites that look suspect, but you should be able to set "energy matters" as an exception.

These days all internet traffic is routed through the NSA where everything is recorded, and through Google where they can sensor anything or anyone they choose.

They especially don't like any of the the internet forums, and You tubes, because people may speak of forbidden topics that our elite masters wish to keep secret and hidden from the unwashed masses.

Cheers, �Tony.

thanks for trying to help ,Tony , but I guess I'm too damm dumb .
