I think we should create a duplicate website of Hyrus Bay, copying it completely with all the information. And the owner and administrator of the site should also be an active user, as Stepan Balamut has long lost interest in the site and everything that is written there, and even if he fixes everything now, similar problems will likely arise in the future. So, we should make an announcement on Bay that Hyrus Bay is moving to a specific website (duplicate this announcement on Heroes resources). In general, we need a volunteer who is proficient in programming and actively visits and writes on Bay. There is definitely one such person: Lebron Dima! If he agrees, that would be great. Write here if anyone else would be willing to create a website to replace Bay and be its owner and administrator.

I recently discussed this topic with my brother (asm) and suggested hosting the Bay website on the VT server (since Bay is not a very large website). He seemed to be okay with it, which would solve the periodically occurring problems with hosting. However, I don't think he will have time to program/administer/configure/set it up.

No, the point is not to create a duplicate of the site. Let's say, moving it to any of the resources (heroeswt, heroesworld, or somewhere else) would simply be another resource with content from Bay.

Another important point: the hosting is paid for until a certain date (I don't remember exactly). It's a pity to waste the community's money.

Therefore, we need to find Balamut in any case. First, we need to resolve the issue with the current situation. Second, we need to get full access to the site (on the hosting provider) from him. Then we can decide on support and maintenance (we could ask Lebron or another programmer). In the second case, I think Armageddon can help us (he may also have full access). Considering that the site is a community project, I would give all the passwords to the person who is easiest to find and who writes online often - Vika. Otherwise, a problem arises, and we just sit and wait, unable to do anything ourselves.

Is it really that difficult to find a person that many people know? Here are some people who might be able to help us contact Balamut (who might have his phone number): Besha, Dima (who was Solo), Arma. Ask any of the Minsk residents, maybe they know something.

Bay still isn't working :( Although everyone chipped in to pay for its hosting at one point... Surely no one has any contacts for anyone from Belarus?
My ICQ account was stolen a couple of years ago, along with all my contacts. On Skype, from Belarus, there's only DS Vasya – I wrote to him, and that's it. There's also Armagedda on Gypsy, but he doesn't really hang out there (but I wrote to him there too). If anyone has ICQ contacts for people from Minsk, write to them and ask them to find Stepan Balamuta, because otherwise, Hyrus's Bay will remain non-functional...

Hey Kolya. I immediately contacted Stepan when the site went down. He's aware of the problem. We need to update the forum engine. Stepan said he doesn't know yet how to transfer the old forum to the new engine. That is, it's easy to create a new, empty forum, but he's trying to figure out how to transfer the data. But he says he's busy with work right now, so it's unclear when he'll do it :(. I'm nudging him periodically. I'll give him another nudge tomorrow.

Excellent!

The most important thing is that you found the right person.

Kolyan, send Arme the links to what I posted here, and let him pass them on to Balamuta; maybe they will help him.

And in general, it would be better if one of them replied here. We could solve the problem together, and figure out how to do it. There are plenty of programmers here.

Stepa wrote in Skype that he can’t migrate the old forum to the new engine. Therefore, we need to find someone who is proficient in web programming and can do it. Unfortunately, I don’t have any acquaintances who could help. So, if anyone can assist with this, please let us know.

Until the site is restored, we have created a special sub-forum on our website at heroes.by. You can create topics and chat about anything, including poker!

While Bai is down, a special heroes.by subforum has been created on our website. You can create topics and chat about anything, including poker :)

To access the Bai subforum, you need to enter a code... Where do I get it? And why is a code needed if there's nothing but poker there anyway? (If it's supposed to be an analog of Bai, then other topics would also be good – like the Heroes tournament thread, reviews about movies, travel, etc.)

I assume it's to keep all sorts of "smart" people from other sections from coming in and banning users for swearing :D
I also need the password.
Since there are no programmers on Bay, we need to find someone and pay them.

I think the best way to get the password is to send a private message to Kosta-Dirty, and LeBron is probably aware of it as well.

Hi, Yura! Who is the moderator on duty right now? I'm entering my username and password, but it says they are incorrect.

Were you able to log in to Bai? It's been down for several weeks.

Alessandro 0:27
I was able to, but it asked for a password. I entered my username and password, but that username doesn't exist.

You devil!
Everyone has the same problem:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
