www.downport.com contact info?

Hi,

Does anyone know how to contact the owners of www.downport.com? I am getting back into Traveller and I wanted to update the BARD pages, which they have hosted for over 15 years. I wrote to colin@jtas.net that was listed on the site and it bounced.

Thanks,

Lewis

Stay away from that server. It was compromised long ago. Best to start a new URL or something. Maybe post stuff to your own shared cloud somewhere.

According to THIS POST ON COTI, Marc and FFE have taken over hosting the Downport.

Aramis may know about it or you can contact FFE at gmail to confirm if they have it. The Admins here are your best first stop since they are probably the same people that would handle all the FFE BBS tech (do they still call them BBS?)

Most of the links are broken or outdated on the splash page, last I checked ... what, last week?

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. The BARD pages on Downport were one of the few sites that still worked. Probably because they were hosted directly rather than being a link. The hosts of Downport.com kept the BARD pages alive for the last 15 years since I stopped updating it, so I give them credit for that

I will probably create a new website for the BARD pages. I've grabbed a copy of the files off Downport. Some files were missing, but I've managed to get copies of those from the Wayback machine. I'll post an update when I get the website set up.

Anybody know what happened to Swordy? I ain't seen that boy around in years.
