The website shows,
"Web Page Blocked!
The page cannot be displayed. Please contact the administrator for additional information.
URL: www.ats-uk.net/
Client IP: 64.121.175.249
Attack ID: 20000018"
That's not necessarily a sign that ATS is out of business. It could also be a technical issue.
I do have to say that I haven't tried to access the site since the spring, but it was still working then. When did you last access the site?
I can't check right now, but it might be worth looking on social media, like Facebook. Also, it might be worth reaching out to Stuart Hessney, editor of "Toy Soldier Collector", to ask about ATS' status.
Prost!

What's the URL you have, John? I still get the error, using http://www.ats-uk.net/. I'm running Firefox 130.0 on a Win10 laptop. I haven't tried clearing the browser cache yet; there may be something cached that caused the problem. I haven't tried any other browser and platform yet, but I did just try on my Android Galaxy A10e, and I got the error. Has the URL changed?
Prost!

Brad,
again I have clicked on the link you provided in this post and it goes direct to the ATS website.
I'm using EDGE on a Win 11 PC.
I have also clicked your post on my SAMSUNG Phone and again it gets through but takes about 20 seconds to display.
Maybe it is something with your provider, or on your PC ???

Ok, think I know what it is, it's because the site isn't private and so new security patches won't let you go there.
My old Tables says that but I may have over overturned that for this site on this PC and maybe the phone hasn't got that security.
Anyway, I can report that ATS's website is still working .

It is because Nick hasn't got an SSL Certificate
"An SSL certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website's identity and enables an encrypted connection. SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, a security protocol that creates an encrypted link between a web server and a web browser."
When I had to get a new domain for my toy soldiers gallery website I didn't get one it was "http://", and so people wouldn't go there, now mine is "https//" and it works.
Simple solution, just throw $$$ at it

Tonight I have emailed Nik, and got a favourable response about his website and his trading:
"I am very grateful for your time you made to send me this e mail . many thanks .
i am indeed still trading and i received e mails from customers in the USA of this problem . i am in the process of upgrading my web site to remedy this problem .
my hosting company is very near to completing this task hopefully within the next week .
kindest regards .
nik"
So I hope that helps you all and we can continue to support Nik and his wonderful figures.
