Allow me to explain what happened, and what we are doing to avoid it happening again:
This all started when the original owner of allthefallen (chasosizzors) dropped off the grid, and failed to renew his domain subscription. I have since learned that he has a brain tumor, but have not heard much else.
When this happened, the person running the server (kitsuna) got annoyed, and decided to give up on trying to fix things, due to his exceedingly busy life.
This lead to the eventual breakdown of my-lol as well, as kitsuna abruptly decided to stop hosting the files.
From there, I (Dark_Matter) and a new much more active tech support ("Iamusername") have been at the helm, setting up a more stable, and suitable home for these websites.
Due to the domain being under "chaosizzor's" control, we are unable to go back to using the original domain for now, so we have gone ahead and changed the domain to "allthefallen.ninja".
My-lol will remain the same as it was.
Due to kitsuna not sending out a backup of the forum files, we are going to have to rebuild the form as well, which is unfortunate, but it will give us a chance to build a sustainable, and stable forum for years to come.
We really want to make sure everything is sound, and solid, and that we have backups available in case of things going wrong. This is why these websites have been offline for some time.
So here are some key facts to remember:
- Allthefallen.org has been moved to allthefallen.ninja
- my-lol.net will remain the same
- The new file host is the same as other forums which have lasted many years without question.
- we have set up an automatic backup system for the future, so that if the host does go down for any reason, it will point elsewhere to a different host, and we will never lose the files again.
We need everyone on top of this, posting in alternative forums, to get the word out.
The only way we will bring allthefallen back to it's former glory, is if everyone pitches in, and puts the word out, that allthefallen is back under this new domain.
Be vigilant, be active, and keep allthefallen afloat!
