I get nothing when I go there, except "Not Found The requested URL / was not found on this server." The site did work for me last night, but it sure doesn't now. Server problems, perhaps?
What happened to the APUG site?

Maybe they didn't pay their domain bill or their ISP bill. 😉

Maybe too many people quit and went over to Chris Weeks new site so they had to close up shop 😉

Now this is half-believable. It is rather unfortunate how little activity the forums get--the RF sub-forum has had single threads on the front page for weeks on end because no newer threads existed.

Googling got me this site http://technorati.com/tag/APUG which seems to indicate a scheduled outage that went past is schedule maybe?

It's a schedule outage, you silly geese! Sean is doing some updates I think, or whatnot.

But it started at 2AM. Doesn't 10 hours seem just slightly excessive for "whatnot?"

If it's still down tomorrow at this time then wonder...

There's the rub. Instant Messaging replaced by messenger pigeons; photo postings replaced by sky drawings; perhaps the forum was transformed into an ambulant chalkboard? Scorning "digital" makes for funny situations...Andrew Sowerby said:

I understand they have gone analog and now are just using a real billboard outside the building where the servers had been kept. They hired the 2 guys who manually put the scores up on the wrigley Field scoreboard to change fourm posts every 2 minutes. ON weekends when the site is busy they will use sky writing.

This is surprising, I recall reading a recent post by the owner (forget his name) about how he was essentially giving up his day job to run APUG full time.

Without the chatroom my life is as good as over.
Just kidding. Wondering when sean will get the site back up.

Oh if only all my upgrades, moves and changes when that quick! I've done some that were well over a full day of magic. Recently I've watched as one company tried three times (each over 10 hours) of an upgrade only to get it slammed in on the forth.

Uh-oh. I hope it's not the "Digital vs. Film" Trojan horse that is unleashed on photo forums (forae?) every month, and ran amok arguing with itself, bringing the servers and all the backup power supplies with them 😱toyotadesigner said:

EVERYONE quick, put on your lens caps, this could be a bad one. Remember, use your safelights to help identify where these little bugs are infecting!
