Don't say another one of the better sites has disappeared.

I still can't get onto it. "Not found on this server and 404 Not Found Error", it says. I've got 3 weeks' subscription left. Any ideas?

(p.s., "doch" means "yes, there is" or "no, there isn't" depending on the context. It's German)

They were talking last week about going to a new server. When they do that it can take up to 24-48 hours for the DNS information to propagate across the internet, during which time you might reach the old server or the new one depending on where you are. And if they start that process too soon, the DNS can point to the new server before they have it fully uploaded. Bottom line- they are moving some things around and you ought to give them a day or two before you panic. I have no problem reaching their main page myself, but I have no idea if I am getting the old server or the new one.

I read elsewhere that this site will no longer be maintained. The owner didn't want to be bothered anymore. The ********** store will continue to exist and supposedly will still get updates though.
