Maybe you can tell us why Abandonia has not been operational for many days.

If you mean the FTP server it is quite simple. In every case that I have been aware of the FTP server has stopped working because the bills have not been paid. This usually happens because there are no routines in place for payment. By this I mean if a certain person goes on vacation or is sick then the bills gather dust until they return. Why they do not pay for services in full for the whole year is a question that you will have to ask the Studentis Group. My feeling is that it because they do not posses adequat funds. Which is kind of strange because everything seemed to be liquid while Kosta was in charge.

Now if it concerning the new Abandonia and why things fail frequently I will go into detail if you like. But the basic reason is because the site is built on Drupal 4.7 and poorly coded Drupal. Studentis (despite warnings from all the web developers) chose to go with an older version of Drupal and not make any changes to the core system to accomodate Abandonias needs (which are huge!!).

If you want a more technical outline of the causes including explainations of the LAMP stack then I will start a thread on this elsewhere.

Sorry, I understand your situation but I won't delete my profile, this is my favourite site ever.
Explain me why they should not care about their investiments, I don't really understand.

Btw Kosta should be aware of this, Romano could you please contact him?
Thanks

I just tried e-mailing him about this matter, but the mail bounced due to his inbox being completely filled up.

Figure that I might give his phone given at the Studentis' website a try in a little time.

Please stop..

Well, given this thread, and given how long the servers have been down, I think this is the end of Abandonia. To be honest, I felt something was wrong from the moment I saw the new website design. I said at the time it had gone from a cosy site to like a business excel demonstration, and that made me suspicious.

With this new site things like getting a thread response email, clicking the link, having to log in, logging in then taking me to my profile page and from there having to find the thread concerned to post a reply also made me angry! All this means I haven't visited Abandonia half as much since the new site design as I did before the change.

Despite the above - good luck Abandonia, no doubt in a week or so I will pop back and see what happened. Somehow, at the very least, I think the servers will still be down......

I am using abandonia as a forum and I consider Kosta a good friend. I worked close with him here in Sweden for many months. He is a smart guy and we share an admiration for Tesla. So I don't want to hurt Abandonia as a community in any way. I especially don't want to ruin any business deals Kosta may have or hurt him. So you don't have to delete your profile

But I do feel that people should be aware of the many things that happen in the background their favorite community. You can then go forward by making your own decisions based on good knowledge and feel good about your choices. Maybe deletion of profiles is a little harsh. But three or four days of complete silence will get a lot of attention. Because Abandonia is the last stronghold for Studentis.

Of course things may go the other way. A sudden flood into Abandonia to read this thread would kill the server and cause the router to have fits:nuts:
