It is accessible; and forums don't become deforumed just because they're temporarily inaccessible. (a-b and a-d have gone down before now, but they came back up later; your argument would imply they currently aren't Public Forums.) I'll send a CFJ on the forumness of a-b/a-d to one of the backup lists, just in case a-b/a-d /aren't/ forums... -- ais523

The forum is defined by an IRC url. I don't think http://irc.freenode.net:6667 has ever allowed access to the forum, although you might try http://java.freenode.net/ if you want a web interface...

a forum can be changed by the Registrar without objection by announcing
intent to change it to that forum. But that forum is inaccessible so this is
hardly possible.
