Forge 1.8.9 stuck at "preparing"

[Bruhnin06]

so uh, i personally like to use forge for my combining my mods, recently i tried launching minecraft with forge but for some apparent reason the launcher is stuck at "preparing", i tried reinstalling minecraft, reinstalling forge, delete the mod u used before, using a different version of forge for 1.8.9 and they did not  work at all... im currently using forge 1.8.9 11.15.1.1722 . if anyone knows the answer to this pls help me its been 2 days without forge

Minecraft 1.8.9 is no longer supported due to his age, update to a modern Version to receive support.

You can, but will not be able to receive support from this website since it is a really really old version. So you can still download it and use it, but if it breaks, you're on your own or will have to look elsewhere for support.

 

The LTS link at the top of every page has more information on which versions will be supported going forward and why.
