I get "This site is undergoing scheduled maintenance" and has been the case for some time now. Only the forums seem to work, downloads page also bricked. It seems there is an ongoing server migration? Hard to find any announcement or documentation anywhere about it.

Looking for any guidance, although MegaMek and by backed up Record Sheets have kept me going just fine.

Wayback machine had the main site normal on Feb 13, 7:28 am, and under maintenance on March 3.  So at least we know the latest that the migration started.

The main site has moved to Battletech.com. The errata page does not have a link but still works at Battletech.com/downloads

The only functioning part of the site that still uses the bg.battletech domain is the forums.

Can a redirect be added, or text + hyperlink?
