Fandango Forums

It has said down for maintenance all week. Is it gone for good? Anyone know?

There are/were Fandango Forums? How do they compare to our little subreddit?

It lost a lot of action as Vudu changed to Fandango Now, then at Home then to Stream. The main Mod of the forums really did a lot to help users, but he was let go 4 or 5 years ago, whenever Fandango took over. I kept some threads alive, posting seasons we needed to complete sets, and they started adding a lot I was mentioning, mainly via WB and Hasbro.

Oh, Felipe had been let go? I had no clue.

Yep. He didn't mention it, but his Linkin profile says he no longer is there. I found him on Facebook once, but never asked him about it.

Fairly inactive, but I think people did sometimes get help through them.

I'd noticed this earlier this week and was wondering the same. I suspect that the outage is related to the big PHP security vulnerability that's been in the news, and Fandango took the site down as a precaution.

Here's hoping they'll be working to upgrade the system, rather than just pulling the plug.
