I believe it was shut down last year. I believe SaturationHall hosted it after Bill died, but with laws like the Online Safety Act 2023 and others around the world, it wasn't worth the work to make it compliant with all the legislations around the world. But I'm sure someone will be able to correct me if I'm mistaken or add more information

To confirm yes, that's correct. We hosted it free of charge for many years in Bill's honour, but the Splosh forum contained full nude imagery so with current law changes would have needed full age gating, a secondary issue is it ran on really ancient forum software so was becoming a security risk too. Sadly nothing is forever.

Rest in power Bill Shipton.
It was a good thing you did for so many years. Hopefully many acknowledge that.
House of wonders as UMD is, it was a joy to occasionally revisit the old place.
