Title: OS/2 eZine BACK UP (was: R.I.P. for OS/2 eZine)
Post by: Terry on 2008.01.06, 04:54:11
OS/2 eZine's domain registration has just disappeared from the internet.  I'm glad I downloaded all of the back issue PDFs in August 2007.

Perhaps these OS/2 eZine issues can be hosted somewhere on a current OS/2-eCS server.  The total size is apx. 250 megs for ZIPs and unpacked ZIPs as HTML & graphics.

TERRY:
I'll gladly host them (ALL my servers are either OS/2 WSeB or eCS)... I'll set up an FTP account on Monday and PM you with the login.

TO EVERYONE:
Does anyone here know someone at OS2Ezine we can clear this with?

Agree would be great if we could at least get the content mirrored down; and as said earlier we're happy as well to provide hosting for old sites/content here at OS2 World as well.

Also, if it's just about missing out paying the fee anyone can pay the domain registration fee if they want; has any one contacted the current host or site administrator?

Hi all,

In case no one noticed, the websites back.

Got an e-mail from Roderick and the reason why it was done was due to domain owner transfer to MenSys.

Good to see that everything's all right with OS/2 eZine.
Gilda Radner played two Saturday Night Live characters that summarizes this best...
