Uh oh, looks like SmartStim.com is down ... Possibly some sort of attack? Shame, been around a long time ...

I've not been able to get onto smartstim for a few weeks now. I was wondering if anyone knew what had happened to it.

From what I understand Climberr, Smartstim's owner, sadly passed away a couple of weeks ago. This follows the death of x61525, Smarstim's second-in-command, last November.

I hope I'm wrong but if this is true then Smartstim.com may be gone for good, never to return.

There are plans afoot to bring it back and recover to data. I can't say any more than that but a team of past mods is on the case with some promising results. It would be a shame to see a resource like smartstim fade away.

That is sad to hear, Climberr was a nice guy.

That is sad indeed. He was so dedicated to the site and to e-stim generally. He put an incredible amount of effort into running the site, in spite of his significant health troubles. I'm in awe of what he managed to achieve.

That's quite a shock. I knew Climberr had been poorly over the years, we occasionally exchanged PMs, a great guy and really dedicated to the community. x61525 too? All very sad.

Such sad news, I already knew about X (Ed) but not about climberr. I occasionally corresponded with both these guys and am gutted that they're gone :cry:

I used to bounce messages back and forth with both Climberr and x61525 on smartstim and losing both of them is a terrible loss to the community. Both of them were incredibly focused on promoting e-stim and safety was their primary concern. I hope the site can be resurrected in some form.
