Any updates on the bjfic.net site?

Does anybody know what's happening with the bjfic.net site? It's been down 5 months and from what I could perceived the mod hasn't updated in just about two months. If there is no intention of bringing the site back up is it feasible to start uploading the top requested stories similar to what was done for the Geocities stories before they disappeared? Thanks in advance for any info.

I'm the same. I had bookmarked all these ones to read and naturally they've now gone. I managed to find one yesterday elsewhere but I guess the rest are history. I got hopeful for a while as it sounded like the site was coming back on - but I guess it's now gone for good :o(

I don't think it's gone for good, but I've been through this before with a different fandom and one of its biggest archives. They were down for over 8 months, and never recovered. It's back up, but most of the best fics and writers left during its downtime. It's still frequented, but gets none of the traffic that it used to.

I just hope that when it's back up that the authors archived there don't pull their fics...but, unless it's fics by people that left fandom and left their fics, I don't hold out much hope.

You make a good point. I'm keeping my fingers crossed but when your down that long writers and readers start looking for other places to be. And with everyone finding their favorites stories elsewhere - there's no real reason go back looking except for old time sake.
