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 totally understand your point and frustration.

Not sure when you came to the fandom, but the site that was up (before it went down) was a new and improved version of the previous site - which had been under different management. The person who had been managing the site had asked for someone to take over the site from her, that was when Cael ended up with the site.

Regarding the site's continued downtime, I truly believe Cael believed that the site would be up by now. If you go back and read the comments and postings in bjficsite and follow the threads and comments by Cael, she has had numerous service issues that have thwarted her regarding timeframe to get it up and working.

I had inquired about moving the hosting to another company, and I believe she ran into the same problems that Elsa Rose had when she had tried to move Midnight Whispers to a new hosting company - that was the NC-17 nature of much of the fic.

Regarding access to the archive - the archive is in a database format, so to extract all the existing stories would require scripting - not sure if Cael does scripting.

just my $.02 (which is worth less in this economy)
