Helen Bates has mailed me to say that SUCAWS is
down (again), so I am just warning everyone that
if it has been deleted by the ISP (which is what
it looks like to me), I am definitely not able to
rebuild the site and there is also little
likelihood I shall be able (or even willing) to
do so in the future. I hope to mail everyone
individually, but some e-mail addresses seem to
have gone astray and I am not here more than a
few minutes per day.
No... I do not have a backup version which spans
across two 15Mb sites due to all the many images,
so there is not easy way to repair the damage. It
was a free web space, so no good ranting and
raving at the ISP at this stage (although I do
have other issues with them, their censorship of
email from chosen ISPs and/or whole countries!)
As many of you know, I am not well, which means I
am currently unable to edit what is/was there
anyhow. My sincere apologies to everyone, but
taking everything into account, this could well
be the end of the road for SUCAWS.
IMHO it is better to have no site at all than an
outdated, incorrect one in need of
editing/correction/radical updating. This is sad
for those who have no other web exposure, but now
there are blogs and other devices available to
even the worst of techno-phobes, I do hope they
will find a suitable and more reliable
alternative to SUCAWS!
I am just very cross that all the archive section
(inc. photos of Aberystwyth 2003 and other
Clayart events taken by May L, Russel F, Jacqui
K, Marcia S et al) have very probably been lost!
Not to mention all the many hours spent creating
the site... Oh, well...
In the light of recent events - both nationally
and internationally - the loss of a web site or
two is so trivial, it seems crude to even mention
it!
Sincerely
