Bitpuritans Site Down
by on (#170915)
So I was in the middle of tagging NSFs from the 2015 Famicompo Pico, when one day I noticed the website down.

It's been a few days now. Does anyone know what's going on?

Try #bitpuritans on EsperNet. Look for username "charlotte". If she is not on #bitpuritans you can try #botb and PM.

Sorry but this it the Nth time there is a thread oppened to say "site XXX is down". What's the point ? We're in no way responsible, so I don't see why complaining to us makes any sense.

It makes enough sense to me. Jedi doesn't know who runs Bitpuritans or where to find the person who does, but he knows somebody here would. B00daW's response was correct, and this thread was a success.

I can't comment on any other thread about a down site. (I don't see any?)

Because more often than not it's to know if somebody else happens to have a copy of something that used to be there.

I saved copies of the results pages for the Cover and Original categories of Famicompo Pico 2015, if anyone wants them.

I'm currently looking for the same information from Famicompo Pico 2014, since I was only halfway through tagging the NSFs when the page was replaced with the 2015 one.

Does Wayback Machine have them? Or does the site use /robots.txt or <meta name="robots"> to block Wayback Machine?

I'd like a copy! :) I didn't realize the 2014 page was replaced. I missed that boat completely.

That's great, but I still can't save the page. Chrome gets stuck on "0 B of 17 B", which makes no sense, because it already has the page and it's obviously larger than 17 bytes.

Here's the 2015 results I saved.

I was able to save them in Firefox.

One can't very well mention on the down site that it's down. Somewhat-affiliated websites which share population bases are more likely to be able to get the word out, connect to the owners, etc.

I did send word to kfaraday. She does know it's down, she told me she's having a problem with the registrar.

Apparently the domain was lost, and a new one was acquired to replace it:
