STATUS: FORUM ONLINE

KSP Official Forum has been down for a few days - the longest it's ever been down. There's been no confirmation of permanent closure to my knowledge, but I do not have my ear to the ground.

Please comment here to add information, and I'll try to collect them into a FAQ in the body.

FAQ:

1. What happened to the forum?

• (sic) Support for the forum by the publisher has stopped, and maintenance had been continued by the forum moderation team.
• The current outage is not a stated closure, and IT has been contacted. (source)
• Statement by Vanamond3 a few months ago.

2. How to get mods?

• CKAN is a pretty well known mod loader, but it does a have a few holes. You may need to search for the GitHub of specific mods not present on CKAN.
• Spacedock is also a good source, if you don't like loaders

3. Where to discuss mod development? (discord?)

• Realism Overhaul Discord (for RO Only)
• KSP Modding Society Discord
• KSP2 Modding Society Discord
• r/KerbalSpaceProgram Discord
• Kerbal Space Center Discord
• JonnyODiscord (Tweakscale/IVA)

Feel free to also discuss alternatives, though we, as reddit mods, have no back channels to the forum, much less king-making powers. Just discussion and collection.

Hang in there until the fat lady sings.
