Any updates on crsociety.org?
It seemed like it was a thriving group with plenty of users. There must be someone who can bring it back.
People are anxious, so I’ll send some snippets of the emails:
““The CRS forums can easily be brought back online, and technically they are currently online just not accessible without modifying the DNS at GoDaddy. The current issue is more of an annoyance and lack of access rather than being concerned about data loss. Thanks for your interest in this and being willing to help. I’ll let you know if there’s anything that comes up that I think you could do, but we’re currently waiting to hear back about a few details related to bank, GoDaddy, and Invision account access.””
“REDACTED is doing his best to ressurect the forum. Apparently the forum is still “live” at Innovision, but something about the DNS info is messed up at Godaddy (where CRSociety.org is hosted), so the link to the forum no longer works. REDACTED is trying to get the login credentials for our Godaddy account so he can update it, but nobody seems to have it. If nobody knows it, the CR Society needs to send an official letter (probably from REDACTED, the president) with a death certificate for (REDACTED) to get the account transferred so REDACTED can update it. REDACTED reached out to see if either somebody knows the Godaddy login or can draft such a letter.”

Thanks for the update AlexKChen
I’ve been reading the crsociety forum for a while and it’s been really informative. It’d be a real loss if it died.
There’s some progress made… Still will take some time

The problem right now is at fabricationspecialties.com which hosts the dns entries. That’s a real company with a real phone number so you might be able to talk to them about it.
“We are working through the process of transferring account ownership from a recently deceased CRS board member so we can update the DNS record. The forum itself is funded and functioning. We just need to update the DNS record to make it accessible.”

The forum is still unreachable. Is there any new information?
According to this thread, it’ll be a few more days. I think it’ll be up again just as soon as we get usable fusion power, which as I remember from my childhood (I’m 66) we have been assured is just around the corner. So now the question is, if we take all possible life extension measures, including rapamycin, will anybody from around here be still alive to witness that glorious event. In summary, a few more days.

A few more days of which planet?
Venus has the longest day of any planet in our solar system. It completes one rotation every 243 Earth days

I’ll ask for updates.
Crsociety.org has always been less “overwhelmed” than rapamycin.news/latest, you don’t get these massive 300+ comment threads, so easier to organize content there. I’ve had to switch to posting here, but miss some of my content (esp the content about microplastics, which have become more relevant again)

How does one provide proof of ownership documents?
We may have to bypass GoDaddy and go straight for Invisionboard (which seems to be more cooperative)

Interests, topics as well as people mature and tend to fizzle out. Maybe it played out its evolution to extinction. I was involved with it many years ago about when Wolford’s book came out. Met some good folks in the Bay Area (SF) at local meet up back then started by a fellow named Warren (can’t remember last name). Followed the approach for about three years, now, I’m here.

There’s LivingTheCRWay too, but it doesn’t have much activity
Yes, I remember Paul and Meredith from long ago. I actually bought some powdered longevity product from them which they were using before it was produced commercially. Paul was involved in setting up software, I believe, for Life Extension as a start up. Gosh, can’t remember what it was I got from them.
If we go for a decade or two there will be a ton of people doing rapa that have died
It’s like saying that because Blagosklonny got cancer people on rapa for a long time get cancer
The totally of data for CRON and mild CRON in health and longevity is arguable at least as good as it is for rapa.
See eg the human clinical trial that Yale and the NIH finished just a few years ago and from which there are a handful papers in top journals on
I knows meds are easy and even mild CRON is more of a hassle, but let’s not be biased as to what the totally of data suggests
(If you want anecdotes - a lot of Michael Lustgarten and Bryan Johnson’s successes have by themselves been attributed to their non-extreme CR)

“Not” or “now”? Not sure I understood your post
archive.org has a few threads archived (but far from complete) - there are only 18 captures of chit-chat, the latest which dates to February: https://web.archive.org/web/20240206030701/https://www.crsociety.org/forum/9-chitchat/
if you go to 3rd page, only 3 of Chitchat - Page 3 - CR Society Forum
Only a single backup copy of General Health and Longevity - Page 2 - CR Society Forum … [page 2]
invisionforum gives admins the ability to back up forums easily/for cheap. If only someone could get access to the admin panel…
[and if not that, https://www.youtube.com/@JohnWatsonRooney has some tutorials on web scraping. I’ve used httrack before, and this is the forum that httrack wouldn’t work so badly on, if only had I known this forum was at risk, and I had a premonition it was, but I didn’t know it would end up like this]
It’s really tragic that almost no one cared as much as I cared.
