on
but Manx seems to be in the process of being
relocated
Hasn't Manx been in that state for ages?
/P

manx.classiccmp.org
terminals.classiccmp.org
computergraphicsmuseum.com/net/org
The owner of those three sites has the unfortunate honor of being the only
person ever asked to leave the free hosting at classiccmp.org.
I gave him 30 days to get his stuff hosted elsewhere.
I even backed up all his content and databases and put them on a 1.5TB
external hard drive and shipped it to him (while keeping the sites running the classiccmp server).
Even though I told him 30 days, I gave him about 180 days before I said
"you
have to get these moved or I'll have to turn them
off".
After about another 90 days or more, I did redirects back to his home site
so
they at least weren't dead.
The content and databases are still on the classiccmp server, although
publicly inaccessible, just to make sure the new locations are up and
running
before I delete the content locally.
Oh dear!
Can we have the backup of the contents somewhere downloadable? If not the
code, which may belong to the owner, then at least the actual manuals? What
other options might there be to ensure that the content is not lost?
