Unfortunatly, the site is shutdown because they cant affort the 4000 USD they need for the server to run their forum.. Mozillazine is the forum for FireFox, ThunderBird and Mozilla suite.

Sad news since there is a new FireFox.

they are looking for some generous donators....

Correct me if I'm wrong but most of ppl download special builts from other guys and these builts are on other servers.. So the download stuff bandwitdth is not on this server...

You don't realize how much stress forum software puts on a server.

Well it is text, along with graphics ( the buttons and stuff ) Now think of it like this, everytime you view the forums, it has to come up with all that. It may not be much if only one person is viewing it at a time, but the Mozillazine site and forums were hammered when Firefox and Thunderbird come out. A lot of people grabbing a little bit of data each is the same as one person grabbing a huge download

explain me because no I don't :(

A forum is text for me and no huge file to download...

It has little to do with the content that comes to you, it's the amount of work that must be done to generate that page. There's a fair complex script running that forum and it needs a lot of horsepower to run.

they aren't actually closing down are they - its not shut down either.

They want some more money to move onto a new server, and are accepting new donations to do this. I have no doubt that they will probably meet their targets; if that doesn't work i imagine the site will be absorbed by the mozilla group = thus no more problem.

      Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that

    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate

      I hate Slack, but Teams is much worse - maybe they've already optimized it, but it was a huge slog the last time I've checked about half a year ago. I miss my Skype.
