A new beginning

To the Admins.
Firstly, congratulations on doing something about the state of
repair of the old site by setting up a fresh one with active
Admins.
The old site did a lot of things right, but grew organically and
some decisions could have perhaps have been improved on if the
Admins had the benefit of the hindsight that you now have.
Where the old site ended is perhaps not a bad place to start,
but this is an opportunity to improve and refine.
The principle driver of the non-core subforums of the old site
was to divert noise away from the core speeding forum. It was a
"speeding and other criminal motoring offences" only forum, but
people inisisted on asking for advice on other motoring legal
matters (similarly to what you may have seen on a certain
council parking tickets only facebook group).
My first suggestion would be to remove the apparent invitation
to "have an argument" in the Flame Pit. As above the rationale
behind the heading was that the Admins just wanted "noise"
posted elsewhere than the speeding forum, but having seen the
old site's most prolific sad troll use that phrase to justify
his persistent trolling re-enforced my original objections.
My second is that if you want to link from a simpler/more
memorable URL, ftla.uk is available.
My third and more general suggestion is that this is your
sandbox. Take inspiration from what worked on the old site, but
take the opportunity to apply the lessons that have been
learned.
God speed (and bring back Boris!)
P.S. Spellcheck appears to default to Merkin.

Thank goodness for the new site! I was a bit concerned when the
pepipoo site became "unavailable" a couple of days ago without
warning. Luckily a quick visit to MSE found the link to here,
so, here I am! Was there any copy of all the items on the old
site? There was an awful lot of useful information and case
history on there. It would be a great shame if all that was lost
to the internet. what I was more worried about was that the site
had been shut down by "the feds" for the information given.
Maybe we were costing the PPCs and councils too much in lost
revenue and outing them for what they are?
It's a pity there's not a link that can be put on search engines
that will divert enquiries to the old site to here.
Anyway, I'm here, can sometimes give useful advice on
bus-taxi-and railway related items.

So far as I know, the site ‘fell over’ rather than being
‘pushed’. There are copies of stuff on the way back machine.

Can someone post a link to where the old stuff can be found?
Also, were all old registrations migrated to this new site?

As far as I can tell, the domain name remains registered and
paid for up until 2027.
Maybe a basic page could be re-hosted somewhere on the same URL,
with a notice explaining the whereabouts of this site, in order
to assist those unable to find it.
WHOIS Pepipoo details
HTML https://who.is/whois/pepipoo.com
Similarly, the Pepipoo Twitter account
HTML https://twitter.com/pepipoo_com
still seems to be nominally
active, so maybe a message there too in order to help those
searching for Pepipoo information on that platform.
Good luck with this site.

Unknown but as the problem has persisted for some time now and
I’m not an admin I can’t fix it.

Try the link in this thread

/>No, old registrations were not migrated (and I do not know if
they can be).

This site is effectively the "spiritual successor" to PePiPoo.
Whilst Southpaw was the moderator of PePiPoo, he was not an
Admin, and nobody involved in the running of this site has Admin
access to PePiPoo.
Whilst PePiPoo is down (which may or may not be temporary), much
of the content can be accessed either through Google's cache or
the Wayback Machine.
