Technically it's "back", but the only things recovered are things other people had managed to save. It's basically starting from the ground up again.
I wound up getting re-added due to supporting the site on patreon, so I guess I don't have to rejoin by myself?

I hate to do this to you, but could someone provide me with some context as to what happened to it? Someone mentioned it was for 'the stupidest reason' which really throws me for a spin!

Huh. That fucking sucks. A one-two punch to their preservation.

I really don't mean to rub salt in the wound here, but jesus. Why is the Homestuck fandom so genuinely cursed with the worst Digital Preservation known to man. First the MSPA forums, then the MSPFA Discord. A lot of shit is lost for good. God that's depressing.

The MSPFA Discord is fully reborn as a community now (even though years of precious content are seemingly lost forever), it is an extraordinarily active, positive and informative place, I'd advise you to join it! :)

And the MSPFA website is, like, half through the repairs. The adventures can still be accessed in a read-only form, see: https://mspfa.com/?s=236&p=1

Grant will have MPSFA entirely back to us in due time, that is hard work and thanks to Grant for doing that.

I'm glad that it's thriving. Homestuck seems to have found a good home on Discord and Twitter, for some reason.

Big ups for Grant, whoever he may be. Really great work. Do you work with the MSPFA team?

I do not! I am simply an old-school MSPFA author, did my first adventure (now D34D thanks to the death of the official MSPA Forums) back in 2010, then started my current adventure in 2011.

Grant is the current webmaster of MSPFA, Grant started working on it in 2017 and basically recoded/restructured all of it as far as I know, following the long work of Lolzorine (who founded MSPFA in 2010) then Nixshadow.
