Yes this happened once before with Kye, he then changed his server
number to:-

I have emailed Kye using three different addy's so we shall see.
Not sure if they are current or not.
Cheers Wendy

Did it go down for some reason? Can't seem to hook up. Could someone
give me the correct address again.

Thanks....Chuck.


I think the lesson here is, good intentions notwithstanding, it is at
this point unrealistic to expect to rely on the availability of any of
our current outlets (abpo, rgo, and Kye's two). I know several of us
have begun using Flickr as an alternative. It has new pics posted
notifications, pm availability, new comments and other activities
notifications, and 'contact' lists to enable one to keep up with others'
postings, etc.

It does not have a general message forum, unfortunately. The AOS forum
is working now, but it's so broken up into microforums there's no
community there, either. And who knows when it'll go on hiatus again. Or
disappear in a cost-cutting move.

I am at a loss for anything to replace the newsgroups as they are, but
I'm afraid we are all confronted by the fact that they are going away
and there's not really anything to be done about it; alternative
newsgroup readers don't really seem a viable option; several I've tried
just don't work, and the sad fact is with so many cut out of newsgroups,
there just isn't anything much on them anymore to try to follow anyway.
