Please speak up I any of you guys get the mail :D
I got both.

Because of the situation of Denial, I only felt it was appropriate to send a 20$US donation to help the cause.

I didn't make donations in the past because... quite honestly it completely slipped off my mind. Denial helped me reach many customers and I feel I should have been more generous in the past.

If more money is needed to move off to a more reliable hosting I'm happy to contribute.

Thanks guys, the problem is caused by Hostgators way of doing business. They actually hijacked our community, to squeeze more money out of their customers. Jeff (site owner) will decide what to do next, the currently host is the one I use for my sites. The only right things to do is to say FU to Hostgator and move to any serious company.

Another thing is, what will happen if (when) Jeff or I takes the final ticket? What is a solution for this? may happen everywhere on the Internet. Knowledge will disappear forever, sites will shut down. I think about this, cause I got a reply from one of our members relatives, that sadly he was dead.
Kind regards, Peter.

RIP Syd. I had to look him up to remember who he was but I remember that he a ran a vintage computer museum and did a project where he used a VIC-20 to post a tweet on Twitter. Seemed quite a happy, go lucky sort of guy and I don't think he deserved the negativity some of his posts got.

Sorry to hear about Sid, but we're all knocking on a bit now...

If there's a need for a few extra donations to get the forum over to a host that respects their client, let me know as I'm ready to chip-in...

Cheers,

Mike

Hello. I'm back. Thank you, everyone for rallying to save our community. My deepest appreciation to our site coordinator, joshuadenmark. He has been a wonderful leader and defender of this community over the past few years. I am confident we can all work together to keep Denial alive.

I am settling in, but I will begin investigating a new location for our forum. We may already have some leads to a solution. I will update you as soon as we have had a chance to explore them.
High Scores, Links, and Jeff's Basic Games page.

I see that the old domain is accessible again, and I can login as orion70. No threads are showed though. Is there something going on?

Jeff has contacted Hostgator and they unlocked the blocking. But we haven’t found at final solution yet, cause this could and probably will happen again with Hostgator.

Please don’t post at the old domain yet, cause I will not be able to merge the two forums.

Will keep you informed.
Kind regards, Peter.

Old domain will redirect to here (temporally) - as we can't have 2 friendly forums, do not wanna start a glitch in the matrix 8)
Kind regards, Peter.
