Has EAv2 and the FA gone down ahead of time?

Has EAv2 and the FA gone down ahead of time?

Post by WheelyFixed »

I'm not able to connect with either the EAv2 forums or the old eunuchworld fiction area. :cry: Tried TOR (my usual browser for the areas) Firefox and Vivaldi, w/ couldn't connect on all three... TOR and Firefox say "Cannot connect to Server" and Vivaldi says the sites can't be reached w/ an "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" error...

Anyone else having problems, or any idea what is happening?

I can't open either. Paolo did say their billing cycle expires 12/17... maybe they decided not to renew after all?

Looks like the name servers can't be reached, so they may have chosen to not register them.
Just your friendly neighbourhood guy.

I got in touch with Paolo, who got in touch with Talula. It’s a billing issue that Talula is working on resolving. They still intend for the sites to stay open through 1/1/2025.

It appears Dandelion knows more than I do on this one.

I do not know what happened, nor was I informed of anything ahead of time. But honestly, a few days early really doesn't impact anything, it would have been going offline one way or another be it now, or on Jan 1. There really wasn't much time.

Again, in January I'll post more about this. I'll do my best to explain things as I saw them going on over there as a moderator, a position there which was a middleman between the users and the site owners, as dispassionately as I can.

I do appreciate and thank the folks working here for offering me a position here, but I've politely declined. I'm of the mind it's time for new folks to take it on and put their stamp on the community, and efforts to further and stabilize care for folks like us. I know you guys are up to the task, and I'm happy to provide insight if asked.

I really do hope the effort succeeds!

My main thing about EAv2 closing early is
1. I want to announce the launch of the new fiction archive there
2. I haven’t had a chance to scrape the old forum yet

Well hopefully it will come back online for you to do so. But I also accept if it's gone now.

FWIW, I tried to get a download of the database from the present owner, who said they could provide it. We set up the FTP to make it happen (thanks Fusion) and it never happened. I'm frustrated myself as I wanted to at least save the data so it might be recovered at some point. Sometimes life just rolls stuff at you which you cannot control.
