- Service has been restored to the intfiction.org forum following this week's Linode outage. Thank you to our tireless admins for getting everything repaired!
- All IFTF services are now functional following yesterday's outage, with the exception of Intfiction, which will likely be offline for at least another 12 hours. We appreciate your patience as we try and resolve the lingering linode issues!
- With the advent of the UK Online Safety Act, all games on the IF Archive are currently unavailable to users whose connections place them in the UK. This restriction is temporary as we review the IF Archive's holdings and flag works that are legally required to be restricted. Our apologies!
- Just a few more days to register your intent to participate in the 2025 Interactive Fiction Competition!
- IFTF's servers are affected by a linode outage this morning. Things are slowly beginning to come back online, but functionality may be limited until service is fully restored. More information: status.linode.com
