Yes, I'm well aware of which site I'm on. Your question seemed
to be "Can't you get together with Southpaw and amke this site
boogie now."... This site is up and running, and has been for a
number of months, hence my confusion as to what your point was.
[/quote]
My point was ....it seems a bit terminal for Pepipoo now.
The regular Posters on that site will probably need somewhere
to weave their magic and get involved with the banter....like
before.
Are they all aware of this page/site/domain ??
[/quote]
Yes - they are all aware.
When Pepipoo went down in June last year all the Pepipoo
regulars moved over to here and were happy to do so as it seemed
Pepipoo would not be resurrected.
When Pepipoo did rise Lazarus like from the dead, most regulars
were happy to use both sites. However, a couple of the council
parking experts seemed to make the decision to only use Pepipoo,
which I think has adversely affected both sites.
I see no reason why Pepipoo has continued except misplaced
sentiment. No matter how good it has been in the past it's
clunky, unsecure and - most importantly - unreliable.

that even if it is fixed, should there be another problem it
could take days or maybe even weeks to resolve the problem. Of
course no site has 100% uptime, ftla experienced a DNS outage
last year. The difference is that I was able to get in touch
with the platform provider and all was solved within 30 minutes
or so.

This ^^^^
AS I said in my post on the "Does anyone still use Pepipoo?"
thread, last June it was several weeks before the site owners
became aware that Pepipoo had gone down and started to get it
sorted out. The same thing has now happened again - although
it's only been a week this time.
If somebody with no knowledge comes to a website looking for
advice on parking matters or motoring offences (where timescales
are crucial) there's no point using, or being directed to, a
site that is unrelaiable and here today gone tomorrow.

It's worse than that, Pepitec Ltd has about £30k in the kitty
(see Companies House filings) which is supposedly meant to be a
fighting fund for some big legal battle rather than for the
personal benefit of the owners, or at least that is the rumour.
Obviously £30k would not have paid for a KC, but there are some
pretty formidable juniors who could have given Mr Korner a run
for his money (Michael Rhimes comes to mind) and if the owners
of Pepipoo were still around and had any real interest in
fighting for motorists, they would have surely wanted to use the
money to fight that battle, considering that an opportunity like
that only comes up once a decade or so.

Pepipoo may be back, but for how long this time?
Should we be more aggressively trying to pull traffic to this
site, given Pepipoo's fagility? When we thought the domain was
going to expire, there was a push within the Council Tickets
forum to get people to post here. Maybe because of that, FTLA
now comes up on searches more and the Council Tickets forum here
is quite busy. The Speeding and Private Parking forums less so.
Maybe encourage all new posters on Pepipoo to open a thread
here, too? Short of the black art of manipulating search engines
to prefer a particular site, how else to bring posters here?

It isn't working properly. The orange "flags" indicating that
there are unread posts in a particular thread do not disappear
when the posts have been read.

I wonder if the database had a booboo and some of it had to be
restored?
Posts appear to be there from just before it went down, but I
had to log back in, so possibly something went screwy.

I agree. Seems to me that PePiPoo is still not working properly.
If you scroll to the bottom of some of the pages then you see
the error message below. EG here in Council & Decrim.
