What happened
We are expecting to complete restoring the forum by August 2026
Our old webserver (based in Strasbourg, France) was over 15 years old and finally crashed in February 2026, just after we had completed a full offline backup. Attempts were made to revive the server, but it refused to boot.
As we had a full backup of the Rife Forum software and database, no data was lost and was used to rebuild the forum, on a new webserver that was obtained, so that the forum is exactly the same as it was when the old server crashed. There was no data breech, your details and your posts have been fully restored. The new webserver is physically based in St. Louis, USA, which should improve performance for our American members, while avoiding growing censorship in the EU.
If you had a Premium subscription when the forum went offline, we will restore that to the remaining time you had left when the forum went offline. This has to be done manually, so please be patient.
We need more funds to cover software upgrades and our recovery costs. Please donate if you can. We urgently need donations to keep the forum alive for the future.
We will do our best that the Rife Forum will now be back onine for years to come. Welcome back, everything is where it was before with nothing lost.
