I think that is the site that got hacked and requires you to re-register. Someone else here may know for sure.

The site that got hacked and, now that it is back up and running, requires all former members to re-register is the UK-based Smokers' Forum (http://www.smokersforums.co.uk/forum.php).

I belong to both and have no problem with the pipesmokersforum.com. I am known as upinsmoke over there. I prefer this site though. Less censorship of my paintings, and more open overall. And honestly, I think the average IQ of the members here is higher. But there are some good guys there as well.

The SmokersForums.uk was the one that was hacked and rebuilt, requiring a new registation. As far as I know, the PipeSmokersForums ( http://pipesmokersforum.com/community/ ) has had no issues.

Have same problem with http://pipesmokersforum.com/ , i registered and somehow i can not log in to it anymore :
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@pipesmokersforum.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Any idea ?

I belong to both and I don't have a problem signing in to either.

I gave up on that site about a year ago. One day poof - I cannot login anymore and no reason why other than I get the internal server error posted above. Just tried it before posting and the same error is still staring at me in the face.

@Peteguy, @ronzi83 and @didimauw, did you all ever get back in to PSF?
Does anyone know what would cause that "Internal Server Error" message from Pipe Smokers Forum?

You've been shadowbanned.

I got that too. Registered then my account was simply not there. Something related to a picky admin?

 

[ray47]

What ever happened to http://www.smokersforums.co.uk/forum.php? Did they shut down the site? Never mind their back up.

@Snowhill. I gave up on pipesmokersforum. I will lurk it occasionally, but im not a member. I'm dedicated to this one.

From what I can tell, the error - the Internal Server Error at PSF - is definitely server side, meaning it's not the user's fault. Further reading seems to point to a corrupted user's account as the reason/cause. For example, a change to your account, like a new profile pic, might trigger the corruption. That is why is does not impact everyone. It's up to the admin to fix it. I do not think it's an easy fix, so that might be why the admins don't repair the corrupted users accounts. This is just my guess, mind you.
