starting to get more anxious, so here’s the backup/archive i did in late december (with some gaps for 5-6 page threads)
===
When it was available I captured the nslookup and now I used hosts file to enter the ip addresses resolved previously. Perhaps sni for tls makes it work - despite I am talking to the cloudflare’s endpoint close to me while asking for www.crsociety.org I am served correctly and can access the forums, except the authoritative dns all other things are working.
But this is definitely is not the way to go for the most of the users. The problem is with these authoritative dns servers, they are not responding with dns service right now, perhaps something is not ok with them. Unless somebody will either make them work or the owner re-register and reconfigure the name resolution configuration of the domain things will not work normally - cloudflare’s resolver wants to have an authoritative answer before it will also resolve it (a dns proxy service of cf).
It is easy to cross-check what I mean with dns - use dig @1.1.1.1 or a tool @ https://freedns.afraid.org/
For the cf’s endpoint close to the user maybe any other cf’-served site (there is a plethora of them) could be resolved and pasted to local hosts file

He says update when he has free time perhaps by early March
It’s early Mach, still no update (I know he’s still dealing with things, but if this indefinitely happens the site will be gone)

Gordo says [on longecity] it very briefly went up and back down
There is not much time left before April 15… Maybe it’ll auto renew but who knows
Sent Brian Delaney a new email. So far, his needing to put things off has not been of too much consequence and he has gotten more time he needs for his emergency, but we do not know how much time crsociety has left, it is now closely approaching almost a year…
[getting it back, at some point, is one of these actions that will matter eternally]
fwiw I visited Pittsburgh for a few days last week, I know some people on the forums came from there. No meetups tho.
taking way way longer than ideal, but there’s still hope (they are…slowly… trying to fix it now) [them saying this is still not a guarantee]
1. Use a Free Website Monitor
- UptimeRobot (free tier monitors a site every 5 minutes)
- Better Uptime (good free alerts too)
- Distill.io (can monitor changes too, not just “up/down”)
Set it to monitor https://crsociety.org.
It’ll email or SMS you immediately when the site comes back online.
