I usually visited two forums, this and bridgetalk from the EBU. What happened to it?

Besides playing for fun, most people also like to play bridge to win

Seems they are reinstalling the server (or they've been hacked.)

It's been up and down the last couple of days. Don't know why.

p.s. bridgetalk is not an EBU-sponsored or approved forum, it just has a senior EBU TD as one of its most active members (and one of the moderators), and admittedly tends to have a lot of English hands posted.

It is "seriously" moderated and indeed most posters there are from England or thereabouts.

Of the top 30 posters by number of posts, half are from the UK.

And the point is? Bridgetalk has always provided good information when I have asked for it - friendly people.

Maybe I'm being a bit over-pedantic again, but the point is that although a number of the posters are EBU officials/TDs/referees/members of the EBU Laws & Ethics committee their (our) opinions are not always the same as the official EBU ones and shouldn't be taken as such.
