Does anyone here know how to get up with Gerry at dvarchive.org? Emails to his published email address have not been answered for a couple of days. Is he still maintaining the site? My login does not work (account disabled) even though I have been a registered user for a long time.

I was able to log on to the DVARCHIVE.ORG website and found that Gerry last posted on July 5. Maybe he's on holiday....

 

[neumannu47]

He very well could be. Thanks for checking that.

 

[neumannu47]

Still no response. Any suggestions?

Bringing up an old thread, but I'm assuming that http://www.dvarchive.org is now DoA?!?!? I can't seem to surf to it anymore.

 

[nded]

Well, I can't get to it either, but I haven't tried in a long time. For now, you can download V 3.2 from the mirror at http://www.videohelp.com/tools/DVArchive


If that goes away, I'll post a copy of 3.2 on www.replaytvupgrade.com

The URL is no longer valid. Either he forgot to renew it or he let it die on purpose.

I think that Gerry's pretty busy with his "real life", so I suspect that he just forgot to renew it. He doesn't visit the site very often, but he stopped in a week or so ago. In addition, he replied to a thread about the plans for DVArchive saying that he was pretty busy with life but planned to continue supporting DVArchive as time was available. Domain names don't cost that much, so I would suspect that he just got busy...

The domain name just expired a couple of days ago:


Expiration Date:18-Dec-2009 15:44:06 UTC


But, the registration is still on hold, so there's still time to renew it...

[icecow]

how much does it cost to renew it?

 

[hdonzis]

I'm not sure for that particular domain, but something like ten to twenty bucks a year is pretty normal (at least the last time I checked). Doing multi year is cheaper and pretty normal...

I'd do it for him, since I have a registrar reseller account for my hosting biz..., but registrars lock these things now - there were too many domain scalpers out there. Domains are now locked for 30 days after expiration to allow the owner time to get his/her **** together.


A 5 year registration of a .org domain should run about $60.

 

[hdonzis]

Gerry posted on Planet Replay that he renewed the domain name registration and all should be right in the world (again)...

I've been getting the message:

The server at www.dvarchive.org is taking too long to respond.

for the past 5 days now. Since we're well past the "Domain Expiration Anniversary", I'm guessing it's something else.

(Since the above was posted: 12-20-08, 03:34 PM, Henry probably meant to type 18-Dec-2008

).


Would someone please try to access the DVArchive Forum and confirm/deny my findings?


Thanks!

Not working here. I just get a connecting message in Firefox but nothing happens. Eventually, I get Problem Loading Page.

 

[aeblank]

Not working now but a couple of weeks ago I posted. So it *was* working in 2010.

 

[ClearToLand]

Back online!

No message as to what the problem was though...
