Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but does anyone know what happened to The Herdstone (Beastmen) forum? It seems to be gone offline without a warning Makes my kinda sad, it was my favourite hobby related forum for a number of years.

I'm a moderator on the Herdstone. In the switch to Tapatalk (invision appears to have been acquired by Tapatalk) the Admin was trying to set up the board for Tapatalk and has had some trouble with the set up. One of the questions the moderating team was asking ourselves was how many folks are using it at this point and if it was worth making the switch.
Good to hear someone is missing it.
I'll check with the admin again today.

It's just that I like to browse the army diaries once in a while for some inspiration. Outside of the Herdstone there is a severe lack of Beastmen to be found on the interwebz!

I noted it as well and was glad I’d taken the time to extract some of my favourite tactics/army review articles. It’s prompting me to do the same on some of the other boards as at some point this will likely occur on a few of them, especially if there are hosting costs and low footfall.

Tapatalk has offered a free approach but for additional costs can go add free. For the Daemonic Legion where I am the admin I just assume it's worth doing for free only at this point. A bit annoying that a 14 year old data base of awesome hobby stuff is switched between providers but the photobucket Terms of Service change (now costs to share on the web) has lost us a lot of the old pictures in any case.

Good to see your efforts. I posted a picture of my Ghorgon there years ago. It was a cool site and I enjoyed reading some of the stuff there. eefl

Hmm beats me. I emailed the admin last week. Will check back again this week. I don’t understand why so unstable when the DL forum seems to be solid.

Still doesn't work for me (neither on iPad and PC). Maybe it works for you coz you have admin rights?

I think I've figured it out. You need a tapatalk account logged in on your computer. If you've got that you've got view access. If you don't have a tapatalk account (free to set up) you can't see it.
At least that's my theory as again I can access it from work but not from my ipad at home. That also matches some comments from the admin along those lines but apparently didn't spell it out clearly enough that I understood it!
