DKC Atlas Forum

- The forum's running an outdated version of phpbb, going by the docs/CHANGELOG.htm file it is running 3.0.11
- The server itself runs debian 9 stretch, which is EOL already and likely runs an obsolete version of php (7.0/7.2 possibly)
- Apache2 likely isn't configured safely, everything's presumably in /var/www/html given I can access the site from the ip
- The shortlink domain died years ago as did the HTTPS, which causes google to now redirect you to malware whenever you try to go to a result from this forum, since it's either muddling results up when generating the google url or idk. Derp.
- Registrations are disabled due to excess spam.

I'm kind of concerned that a random bad actor could blow the website up or pull off a Board2 and flood the place with crap somehow. In particular I imaginr thr password algorithms used by such an old version of phpBB are relatively weak by modern standards - and there have been instances of compromised accounts elsewhere showing up

So yeh

This site was 100% down for some time (I checked periodically) and I think it's an absolute miracle it's back up; says it's not secure, though

Coming from discussion on the Atlas Discord, apparently the domain registration is offset somehow, so the site will not resolve in domain name lookups while the domain is being renewed.

Oh, yeah, I saw that a bit after I posted (I'd joined the server and caught up with a bit of recent discussion). In any case, this is the same Atlas I know and love -- and I'm just glad it's nearly 2026 and still here in tact
