8Warning: Not foundTheHTPC.net — Down for the count? No

Sad news — for the last few days TheHTPC.net has been show­ing a Serv­er 500 error.  Now the own­er (anoth­er Jon) has put up a mes­sage say­ing the site is broken and he may not be able to find time to fix it.  I for one am very much hop­ing to see TheHTPC.net back in the near future.  If that is not to be then I hope we will be able to source and provide a mir­ror of some of the out­stand­ing resources that were pre­vi­ously avail­able there.  RIP.

Update 20-Jan

TheHTPC.net is back online.  Outstanding!

Update 2

Unfor­tu­nately theHT­PC is back off­line, seem­ingly with no hope of a revival.

Update 3

Thanks to Jon below for the com­ment.  Its back again after all!  Great news.

I was not able to sub­mit my applic­a­tion. I got some kind of “CAPTCHA” error

What applic­a­tion? Do you mean com­ment? Until you veri­fy your e‑mail address you are likely to get a captcha to solve before you can post a com­ment. answer it cor­rectly and your com­ment will be sub­mit­ted (as the one I’m reply­ing to was)

Hi Stan­islav, I believe I have fixed the issue. My form sub­mis­sion plu­gin changed while the site was down and rendered my old set­tings incom­pat­ible. Without your com­ment, I prob­ably would nev­er have found it 🙂

I had giv­en up and thought it was all lost, but I did man­age to sal­vage an auto­mated db backup I had sent to my email peri­od­ic­ally. There is noth­ing new there for a year, but there really was­n’t at the time it went down either.

Any­way, http://www.thehtpc.net is back 🙂

Agreed. There had­n’t been much new stuff there in the last couple of months, but some of the archived con­tent was still really use­ful, and the loss of com­munity is a big loss, it’s hard to build a com­munity like that. I hope he man­ages to restore it
