Oh there is a post on homepage..
If you're trying to reach the AtariAge Forums, you'll likely see a warning in your web browser about an invalid SSL certificate. Unfortunately, the company that hosts the forum allowed the SSL certificate to expire, resulting in this issue. If your web browser will allow you to bypass the warning, please do so, as the forum is still operational. Apparently the Microsoft Edge browser makes bypassing the warning relatively easy. There are methods of bypassing this in other browsers, but it's different in each browser and you would need to do a little bit of research to see how to bypass an invalid SSL certificate.
We've opened a support ticket to get this resolved, but we're not sure how long it will take since it's the weekend. This has absolutely nothing to do with the AtariAge/Atari announcement from two days ago, it's just unfortunate bad timing. And, no, we're not happy about it!
If you can help spread the word that this is just an unplanned technical issue, we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

Seems to be up now. It's odd though as the validity is as follows:
Issued On Wednesday, 30 August 2023 at 23:51:07
Expires on Tuesday, 28 November 2023 at 22:51:06
But if it expired on 30th August, it seems odd that there was only an announcement on 9th September.

I still cannot access it value HTTPS . It's only works in Firefox when forcing HTTP.
I assume the main domain has a different certificate than the forum subdomain.

That's weird, I am connecting using Edge and the cert is valid for 3 months as I posted earlier.
I just tested with Safari and that is also saying the same, so no issues for me.
Of course they could be mucking around with the certs for some reason or other.
