Yes, FA is having domain name issues right now. Some people say their domain was hijacked, others say it' was a transference error of some kind. Regardless the site is inaccessible right now

Not this exact situation but yes it's not the first time the site has been down over some complicated issues. FA is just very badly coded

The domain was stolen. The merch shop is obviously a fake one and belongs to scammers.

i was gonna quickly grab a photo and also got redirected to a merch shop, i can't tell if it's a temporary redirect measure or a part of the scam because every detail about this hack is barely being disclosed
EDIT: buried deep in the replies of a surviving post, they don't know why it happened so be careful

Wait, so they don't even know why the relevant Twitter post was deleted? Who is running this ship anyway?

i know theres at least a team of moderators and admins left to run the site, but its still odd that its out of their control
it's now getting redirected straight to their twitter, which is either an odd move on whoever's trying to change the dns or someone on the team with very very poor team communication skills

through even more digging, apparently the deleted tweets were the fa team expressing urgency about the matter and their customer support experience, and the hosting provider going "okay have you gone through our system yet" when they clearly already have
i am probably rambling too much but Uurgh This Sucks

Back when the original tweet still existed, I saw someone saying that this wasn't a hijack but instead an error from their host or something along those lines, they even had Discord screenshots. So while they originally thought it was a hijack, it might not actually be one

Long story short, they were hacked. Avoid FA for now.

And worse, their Twitter was also hacked!

Must've been waiting for an opportunity

An opportunity to draw the hate of not only damn near every furry on the planet, but even an infamous troll farm as well! (Possibly even crypto bros too. What strange bedfellows! <.>)

The whole site has been compromised, so until then you might as well wait until the situation it's fixed
