Pepipoo offline again

I've just tried to log on the the original PPP site and safari
says unable to connect to server. I'm wondering if this a
temporary error or has it finally disappeared?

Yes, it worked for me again after trying a few times. Schoolkids
must be busy round here! False alarm, sorry people.

I noticed the same around that time, it wouldn't respond to
pings then it did and back online.
I notice that the alleged admin on PPP who posted that the
domain would be renewed in a few weeks, hasn't yet renewed the
domain. If my calculations are correct, it'll go offline as of
about 30/11/23.

Does anyone know if we're actually migrating here from PPP or
not? Members will be leaving on droves if noone has a clue which
site will live on?

Who do you mean by 'we'? The owners/administrators of this site
are different to those who own PePiPoo, so nobody on here can
say with any certainty whether or not PePiPoo will live on.
From the information available online it would seem that the
Pepitec domain is still due to expire at the end of this month.

As far as I know, this

Well this site isn't going anywhere, as we (or more specifically
our long-time moderator and now admin southpaw82) owns the
domain. If for argument's stake the hosting service went down or
kicked us off their platform for some reason, we could repoint
the domain to a new forum hosting service and get the site back
up and running (with the same structure, admins, moderators and
so on) in maybe half a day at most.
The old pepipoo software is buggy as hell and frankly I won't
miss it.

The underlying domain that has the nameservers is still going to
expire (it hasn't been renewed, yet). The only hope of this
being resolved seemed to be a random new account that spouted
rainbows then didn't seem to deliver anything.
forums.pepipoo.com and pepipoo.com will stop resolving (and
become inaccessible unless you add the server IP address to your
hosts file) around the 30th of November (30 days after the date
of expiry). Obviously Joe Public isn't going to know to add the
IP address to the hosts file, so they'll just see a name
resolution error on their browser.
When the domain becomes available to purchase (if it isn't
renewed), and if I can nab it, I'll redirect the traffic here,
perhaps with a little landing page to explain whats happened to
Pepipoo. But the site will have been offline for 65 days by that
point (I think that's correct, might be slightly more or less
than 65 days).
Archive.org does have a copy of the site, but it may not be 100%
up to date to the day the domain expires.

'We' in this context was former/previous/current members of PPP.
I've NFI which Forum to look at - there's precious little
speeding threads here for example?
Same moderator on both I see............
