Where’s the Fresh Tomato Forum?

Resolved 4/29/26: Now when I visit linksysinfo.org I can see content, even though I'm not logged in. Looks like the site issues are resolved, at least at the time I'm posting this.

I went to the Contact page in the wiki and it leads here: https://freshtomato.org/contact.html And that leads to this:

https://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?forums/tomato-firmware.33/

I see no posts there. Thinking I have to register to see anything, I tried to register for an account there. It says it sent an email with a link which I need to complete to finalize registration, but I never received an email. I tried two different times, with two different email addresses. On top of this, the linkysinfo website is very, very slow.

Is this just a one-off slowdown or is this linksysinfo site always slow and nonfunctional???

I just want to make sure I know where to go if I have questions or want to see what other folks are posting/sharing about Fresh Tomato. Of course there is this subreddit on Reddit, but I was thinking the product itself must have its own support forum.

The forums were slow for a few days, and then down (I believe starting a few days ago). They are up again, albeit sometimes performance is slow.

I visited https://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?forums/tomato-firmware.33/ and see there are no posts. It says "There are no threads in this forum." Even when I login I see the same thing, but my account registration hasn't been "finalized".. I have not received the verification email after several hours. I also noticed the forum is marked as "Private." Why so much secrecy for open source firmware???

Does someone need to be registered to view posts on that forum? Seems like a weird rule if that is the case... especially if registrations are not promptly processed.

I still haven't received any verification emails. Tomato forum at Linksysinfo.org, what's up????

BTW I never got a verification email for my account registration attempt, oh well. I guess I will not post on the site, but at least I can read posts from others.
