Or have they changed their domain name?

None of my links seem to work and haven't done for quite some time now.

This for example.

Was never a particularly interesting/ fast moving forum or
up to date website compared to this one though.

I think the cover stories have been the same for that last
year.

DSM is for birds and beginers. The only good thing is the free classifieds

The old forum used to be quite good, it seems to now be the home of "Feva_Sailor and Friends" and as such lost 90% of its members (Most went during the 6 month gap where there was no forum though!)

Had emails with Pete Vincent and others at DS mag. They are going strong and of course have an RS100 test in the next issue I believe (so not just for FEVAs then)

Works fine for me. Maybe it was a temporary glitch?

In all honesty, the home page has been the same for months (news and events are now being updated frequently, though).

I'd say that the new Editorial team is concentrating on getting the magazine going, rather than providing an online version with an associated forum.

Personally, I say that the magazine is now excellent. It suffered under previous guises for too long (it was awful last year!), but Pete Vincent, Sally, et al have turned the magazine around totally - it really is worth reading again. If the website isn't a priority of theirs, then I can't say that I'm bothered - it's the publication itself that counts.
