The URL for this domain may have changed or the hosting provider may have moved the account to a different server.
Still, I hope their new server (when they get it up and running) works better than their old one. CPF always seemed to have a lot of downtime. I like the site and miss it, but hopefully it will have less downtime.
Their approach to migration shows why their site always has issues and they have lost so many posts over the years. Most site would have at least a host servicing the domain giving a clear message about what is happening… CPF no… for a while certain URLs would give a little useless message directing you to facebook. The main page however would not. Stranger still is most of the phony site up/down checkers were reporting them as up and running long after they were down.
Most sites would be able to migrate without impacting service, and those that could not for extenuating circumstances would at least operate in read-only mode.
Most sites would have had a huge banner for weeks prior to the shutdown.
What does mail have to do with migrating their Forum software , nothing…. but for CPF it’s all connected.
Why has their servers been running like turtles for over 2-3 years (maybe longer) and they are just migrating now. Did someone get tired of rebooting it ever 4hrs?
It’s a shame such a resource is not properly managed. One day it is likely all the information on there will likely be lost. It’s possible this migration like many changes in the past will lose a lot of stuff.
It’s sad to think about what could be and what is…. but…. ok in the big picture it makes no difference the universe has bigger issues many of which are right in our own galaxy.
