On the 25th of September 2020, the certificate for both forum.sa-mp.com and wiki.sa-mp.com expired. Many users noticed this and brought the issue up on the Discord.
Though the site was still accessible by bypassing the security of HTTPS, it was obvious that something bigger was amiss.
The next day, users found both sites to be completely offline with database errors displayed in the browser.
Now, this error is fairly common, it usually indicates a database backup. But given the SSL certificate incident, it seemed indicative of something else.
Later that day, the sites both went completely offline, not even responding with an error page.
What does this mean?
There's a lot of speculation in the SA-MP community but no official word of what's happened. As we've learned in the past, however, it's best to assume the worst.
The Forum and the Wiki are probably not coming back. It would be great to be wrong about that.
Alternatives
For now, the wiki content is still accessible using the Archive.org copies.
This is obviously not a great long-term solution. These pages take a long time to load and it stresses the Archive.org's service (which is already underfunded and a very important part of internet history).

Kalcor left SA:MP and took down the Forum + Wiki, Internet Tab Masterlist is replaced since almost two Years with the Hosted Tab Masterlist which means we have to pay to be on the Masterlist again.
There will be no new SA:MP Updates in the future, dont worry there is a new upcoming Multiplayer called Open.MP which will be "fully backwards compatible with the existing multiplayer mod San Andreas Multiplayer"
Checkout open.mp/
Our Server should be working with the new upcoming Multiplayer and we will be there again dont worry!
Main Server will stay Online and we are working again to make new Updates, stay tuned! WE ARE BACK!
