I was getting a cloudflare error which was preventing me from connecting. Not sure if it was impacting others or for how long. It should be fixed now. Apologies for any downtime.

It's improving but there's still issues

Yes, one of the downsides of running behind Cloudflare to defend against the bots

I can reproduce this on my end but I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm unaware of any issues with the certificate and the DDG browser gives no details on why it thinks the certificate is invalid. I've opened a support ticket with DDG to get more info.

You generally wouldn't want to, but in this case you'll be fine clicking "Accept Risk and Visit Site" since the site does have a valid SSL certificate (ssllabs link below), otherwise you'll need to wait for DDG to respond to me.

Is anyone else seeing similar issues with their setup?

Just for you

 

Looks like a certain person might have gotten wind of this thread and shut 'er down...

If you search for it on Wayback Machine now you get this message:

There's no foul play here. The Internet Archive will take snapshots of pages multiple times on multiple dates ("665 Captures" in your image). At the top of your image you'll see you're looking at an archive of the site from 10th July 2025. If you look at the actual site now you'll see it displays the same "no longer available" message. You'll need to use the bar at the top to view an archived date before MI shut down (Nov 2018)

Whoops the permissions for Shit Pit members was accidentally set to disallow spoiler viewing. It would have impacted everyone and has most likely been like that the entire time. Apologies for that! It's been fixed so please try again now.

You should be able to just click the spoiler and it'll expand. What's happening when you click it? What browser/device are you using?

That's a lot of help. Thanks for that! List is updated

It'd be great if this thread was updated as this link doesn't work any more https://www.metalwarfare.com/promoters-and-venues/

We (Bodydrinkers) are looking to play a few gigs in Dublin

Apologies, I missed this!

I'm looking a list of promoters as well

I've updated the first post with the list which was previously being used. It's been a while since this was updated so please let me know if anybody is no longer running, needs updated, or needs added.

Ah shit I've just noticed that thread is outdated and referencing a page which no longer exists. I'll pull the details from the old page but I might need assistance in ensuring the info is correct and adding/removing any promoters as needed.

No not normal at all!

 I'm not too worried for now because the site performance is ok but I might need to ramp up the anti-bot measures again if they're getting too heavy. Blocking Brazil has helped a lot, but they're so heavily distributed it's hard to do much more which wont also impact regular users. The site is even getting requests from Starlink.

There's a lot more borders/outlines/gradients. I'm not sure if they should be removed to make it cleaner, or if they're better for breaking up sections.

Happy to help! Glad to hear it's all working!
