The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    What happened to the ROG forum? It was down for a long time as was the ASUS site then ROG comes back up as rog.asus.com not asusrog.com

    Now rog.asus.com is gone.... is going on?

    http://asusrog.com Is Down -> Check if your website is up or down?

    Looks like it's got a bad route. Give it some time. Here's the end of the traceroute output:

    I can get to rog.asus.com fine, asusrog.com is down, and I think that's where the forum was hosted. I could be wrong, I don't spend a ton of time over there...

    If it's not back soonish, just wait for Chastity (ASUS ROG forum mod) to see your thread. :p

    Edit: It's still down, maybe they just unplugged the server lol

    It's been a few days I can't access to the asusrog site www.asusrog.com
    Am I the only one (I live abroad)?
    Is there a mirror site of Chastity driver & reference page @asusrog?

    What's all the worry for? Does anyone actualy uses Asus's ROG forum? We've got a few reps here and probably more Asus users here than there. Anyways i can't access too. Bad Gateway error.

    It appears that many are using the G73 area... Problems & errors...

    Pretty Sad when a Computer Manufacture's Forum is down...
    What does that say about their Computers...?

    Its your typical, bog-standard, barebones, average, run-of-the-mill, unexceptional utterly normal forum service/maintenance down time. Probably upgrading the forum software to improve security for you the end-user. Or switching servers that can handle a larger load.

    I wouldn't read too much into it if I were you.

    I merged this into an existing thread, they were down recently for upgrades or summat. Probably the same thing now? I'm getting a 404 so the server is up at least. :p

    No problem it was more than a few pages back - that's what I'm here for. :D

    I'd say again give it a day or a few hours at least, before allowing panic to creep in. :p

    hi Chastity,

    Maybe you should mirror/replicate your Driver and Application Reference page in ROG to another web site. Maybe a sticky page on this forum.......

    The reason I do not maintain a copy here is because NBR has a Forum Rule stating that if there is a source to link to, and there is a NBR local copy and an external site copy, NBR requires I ONLY list the NBR links. When I first started, I had 2 copies, and the mods here kept editing my posts removing links to asusrog.com and replacing them with NBR links, plus editing my descriptions. Needless to say, that drove my nutsy. By keeping it on the other site, I maintain greater creative control, and only have to update info once.

    If anything I'll maintain a local mirror on my personal server, if the need arises.

    Well, you can get most of the drivers/utilities from Asus's website. I guess the only real problems could be touchpad, audio and latest azureware ones (Atheros has absolutely no driver support). You could run the basic windows drivers for the devices you don't have but at least you will be able to get bluetooth, camera, chipset etc running.

    Still, a mirror would be appreciated since the RoG forums seem to be down quite often lately.

    The rule is actually that you cannot link to your own website (or one you are affiliated with). While it may cause inconvenience, it's to prevent linkspam to blogs, keyword sites, etc. This rule applies across the board, just like all the other forum rules. You are welcome to mirror your content here - that's not an issue. If you have any questions about this feel free to PM me or any other moderator.

    If she mirrors it in a thread here can you make it a sticky. It's like a one stop shop for the latest drivers that a lot of people would have a hard time finding on their own.

    It's down again. Super annoying because your driver and application reference page is such a good resource and I can't access it! :(

    EDIT: No, it's just loading incredibly slow... I might just save a local copy of the page for now, since the links should still all work either way.

    Are they possibly, in the process of bringing the forum over here--> Welcome to Republic Of Gamers!??


    -->Answering my own question; Brian_****@asus told me, "It is the same company but 2 different sites. Rog.asus represents our global team. Asusrog is focused for north America but also reaching out to other regions. The forums will be back up by end of the week. We were moving servers due to some bugs and are rebuilding the server as we speak. The main asusrog is already back online. just not the forums."
