XGN server will be shut down
« on: May 06, 2024, 02:24:51 PM »
Hey guys,
I'm currently hosting XGN - for a few years now - but sadly it needs to move from my company account. 
The reason is: our security stance needs to be improved.

I've tried to contact a few of you looking for someone that would like to continue hosting it or organise hosting for it.
No takers.

In light of this as a last effort I'm asking here publicly if any member would like to pick this up?   If yes, send me a PM.

If I get no response, sadly I'll be forced to shut the server down as I've no time organising a new hosting.

If anyone wants to pick the slack up, I can package the code & DB up for you.

The domain name is another matter, though, I think it's in Brit's hands at the moment, that's the last I've known of it.

It has been most generous of you Bird to have hosted XGN for many,many years, I thank you on behalf of all XGN members.

Will we have an archive of the site after it's gone done?

And a redirect for a short time?

Yep, absolutely agree. I say a big thank you too, and for the work you've done in things like SMF upgrades and so on. Also to Brit for the domain name registration for so long.
