Site was down past few days -- what happened?

Post by SorryIAm » Mon Apr 11, 2022 4:49 am

Hi folks,

I was worried to see the site go down over the past several days. Anyone know what happened with it? Was there a hack or something?

Not too many of us users left these days. Is there a way that we ordinary users can contribute to helping keep the site going? Like help pay for tech support or server space or domain licensing or upkeep? Or help zap spam?

Love this site! Don't want to see it go down, or see users' private information exposed or exploited due to hacks.

Wishing all the best,

J

The server threw up on us and didn't want to work, anymore, pretty much :)
there is, in the end, the letting go.

Oh, goodness gracious! Anything we humble users can do to help?

Unfortunately, no. It's on the domain hosts to fix it.

OK. Is there a way to contribute to the costs of upkeep, hosting, and site registration?
