I loved makecode when I signed up, and when I got logged out and refreshed, it was a Clean Linux Forum. I didn’t know what to do- but I cleared all of my cookies and reset my password for the forums, so that is how I was able to log in and create this topic.
I don’t know If this will be the last ever topic, but I hope it isn’t, because the makecode forums are the best 🙂
If it isn’t, This will remain, but if it is, I’ll leave it here. I enjoy being apart of the forums, and I want it to be here forever 😃
Have a good day, from E-EnerG

Hey, the webservice that provides the forums, Discourse, had a [temporary outage](https://twitter.com/discourse/status/1414993897453809668). Nothing to worry about 🙂

Ah, it sounds like they had an issue with redirecting for a few minutes while recovering from the outage – just an issue in the discourse backend.

oh, ok! I’m glad the Forums didn’t shut down!
