Whatever Became of the Viking Age Living Library Forum?

Curiously, I can get to the site: http://brianpettit.proboards54.com/index.cgi

But after a second or two it obnoxiously auto-forwards to some useless ad website. Anybody know what happened? Also, does anyone know of a way to disable that annoying autoforward feature?

Not sur how to disable it, but if you hit escape key once the page if almost fully loaded, the ad wont redirect you to the website.
Pretty annoying.
They obviously have troubles with their ad's.

It was pillaged.

Actually, this is literally correct. It does appear that some predator ad company went ahead and targeted them. They have moved, however, to the following site:

Thanks especially for the tip on hitting "ESC" - that really helped!

I too have had this problem. Thanks for the link.

Update:

It appears the problem at the main Viking LH site is intermittent. Lately I have been able to get on without incident, but that could change. I suppose if you can get to the original site, fine, but otherwise you can go to the backup site.
