Mate, yours is not the first heartfelt offer received.
The fact remains that we cannot "steal" a website belonging to someone else.
I hope that Jimmy comes riding by.....

EasyDrinker, hearing you loud and clear! This forum is a wealth of knowledge and pretty much the only UK one I know of. More importantly, It's one of the friendliest, especially for the newcomers and that matters. It would be a real shame to lose the community. Should the need arise, the offer still stands, even if its two years down the line when the domain expires. Hell, I'll probably even learn how to install forum software and do some basic admin.

I would offer my help anyway I can. I have already tried to contact Jimmy.

It's not the hosting per sae, more complex than that unfortunately. The owner is absent, and the owner calls the shots. No owner, no shots!

The best thing anyone can do for themselves at the moment is to email..

Just to be clear.
Only Jimmy can validate a move of this site.
And if he knew of the need, and cared, then he would fix it,and remove the need.

Ergo, he is currently, and maybe permanently MIA.
Simples.

Robert.

Can we be sure that Jimmy knows?

Sorry mate,
Jimmy seems to remain oblivious to the plight of this site, and only he can fix it's woes.
It remains his property though, so who here has a right to bitch?
After what this site has done to help all?
Even "members" here are "guests".
Other threads have comments from users willing or wanting to move away.
Personally, I will go down with this ship and not be seen again, if it does go down....

From my point of view.,

Any more news on this? I would happily move to another server/site to keep this going. I don't log on too often, my distilling time is severely limited at present, but this site has helped me achieve so much.

Just a thought I had that might help contact Jimmy, I was in lovebrewing in Liverpool once talking to the YouTube guy who made all the shit videos showing how not to use your Airstill, anyway I mentioned this site and he said “The guy who owns it is a friend of his”, I said “Jimmy?”, he replied “yes”

So maybe he has contact details for Jimmy, or can at least pass a message on, sorry can’t remember his name, Richard I think.

I don't mean to speak out of turn and I hope Jimmy is just on holiday and things will sort out on his return but without new users the site is in decline, at what point do you set up shop elsewhere? I don't think anyone wants to jump ship but also doesn't want to lose what we have, if the decision is left too long there maybe little left to rekindle.
Just sayin... (I heard that somewhere..!)

I know there is software to download complete websites but if this can be used to upload to a new forum I don't know, maybe ask phpBB, I'd put my hand in my pocket to help set up a clone if thats what was decided.

Not to point out the obvious but it may be usefull if more than one person has a set of keys...

Just the usual Red kitten contact info via PP.
Thanks for the tip mash, I won't be using it (in this case).....
1.The owner is not always the occupant.
2.I already feel like a stalker.
3.I already invested in another site donation.
If that does not swing it,then goodnight gentlemen.

Maybe a few more donations may achieve something?
If you have not donated, but value the site?
For past, present or possible future use.
Of course, donations are voluntary.
Just sayin'.

Robert.

PayPal. Very Jack Reacher. Well done.

It may also show you an email address on the statement.

I have also emailed you an idea....

Thanks Robert, you have done everything that can be done at present. The only other possible way that I can think of (long shot) is to get someone to go to the address and ask the present owner for information.
