What's happened to Pepipoo?

Site appears to have been down for a couple of days.

Was working earlier - not unusual for it to fall offline every now and again

I don't use Twitter but a web search shows pepipoo posted there saying they are temporarily down due to failure at the hosting provider.

Normal service will be restored.

They've overcome worse over the decades!

Yes, I found that. Problem is the post I found was dated Aug 31, 2019.

Woo. Update.
Pepipoo seems to be no more. It has reappeared as:

Hmm. Is that a temporary location to resurrect the same forums, or a permanent new home with Pepipoo having died? This new one shows a couple of the regulars' names. Let's hope it's moderated as well.

It has often been noted how outdated Pepipoo was with little or no technical support should the whole thing collapse. It would be a shame to lose the vast history of cases stored there.

Time will tell.

I have contacted the admins and offered my server, web and forum creation services should they be interested. I am not seeking any money, just an option for them to get back on their feet.

For now, it would appear that they are starting from scratch. I have asked if they have managed to salvage their database from the forums. They are also going to need to be aware that their current hosting/forum option is likely to run into problems as they get busy and their bandwidth requirements increase.

It would be a real shame if we were to lose such an invaluable service.

The brand new Private Parking Tickets sub-forum of FreeTrafficLegalAdvice (FTLA), formerly PePiPoo, seems to be now up and running. Looks like everyone (including former regulars) has to re-register as a newbie. Doesn't seem to hold any PePiPoo archive at this stage.

This sounds serious but I trust that the fightback forums can fight back.

I looked into it and found this: -

It would appear that Pepipoo has gone down - maybe terminally - so use this link instead: -

I have pointed several people at it already.  I couldn't find any regulars, maybe they are in the process of reregistering and/or have decided to change their User names!
