@pirijan it’s niche but I tried to come to the forum by using club.kinopio.club directly as I remembered it but it doesn’t resolve. Maybe club.kinopio.club could redirect to forum.kinopio.club?
Not sure which DNS provider you’re using, but if you need an easy way to redirect the domain, I have a service for it: defunct.net.
- Create an A record pointing
club.kinopio.clubto34.36.101.120(or an ALIAS record pointing toclub.kinopio.clubtoa.defunct.websiteif your DNS provider supports ALIAS records) - Add a TXT record to
club.kinopio.iocontainingdefunct.redirect=https://forum.kinopio.club

I meant to do this sooner but I got the flu and couldn’t find an elegant way to do the redirect. I’ll try this out right now thanks!
i set my the A and TXT records and set the redirect to the forum url . but when i visit club.kinopio.club I get the defunct website message club.kinopio.club is a defunct website., but there’s no redirect.
the redirect field has shown a loading animation for the last couple minutes. how long should this take?
The speed depends on your DNS servers, i.e: how long they take to update the records for your domain. The defunct service should see the updates within a few seconds once they’re available. A minute or so is typical. A service like whatsmydns.net is good for seeing how DNS changes have propagated.
(Configuring just using DNS is conceptually cute but the sending information into the abyss nature of DNS configuration isn’t very user friendly. There are commercial services like redirect.pizza which offer a more friendly flow (not configured using DNS)).
It seems to be working now so you’re right probably just slow dns. Thanks for the helpful tip and service
