The aussiefrogs.com server suffered a serious crash and thus far we are still trying recover the server.
 aus-city.com is taking all the web traffic for aussiefrogs.com until its resolved.
 
 Its overly complicated, but the backup server which is separately hosted is also caught in all the mess.
 
 For now there is this general forum where you can discuss topics.
 
 We still have no ETA of a resolution or fix.

gibgib,
 
 It's times like these that we remember how much we enjoy our daily frogger 'fix'.
 
 The alt site is a great contingency arrangement - especially as we don't normally get out much ...

Dunno how you others got here, but I only found this place by accident..... To get more of the regular AFers here, perhaps it would be worth emailing those members you know the addresses of?

I wrote a mod_apache script to rewrite the headers and direct any of the old links to the main page regardless of what old AF URL is entered. This way you don't get server not found or 404 errors from aus-city.com

There must be hundreds of people looking for Aussiefrogs. How can we let them know where we are? The direct link aussiefrogs-Aus-city doesn't seem to work anymore. |  |

I just tested it and see what you mean. When I typed in aussiefrogs.com.au in the address line I was directed to a yahoo search page where some aussiefrogs topics were listed. Then when I clicked on a topic I got "IE cannot find display the webpage... etc".  Yet when I clicked on my original Aussiefrogs bookmark I was directed here again. I'm probably saying the obvious: Maybe we could email and/or call our froggy friends who we have contact details of and let them know. OMG I just saw the huge list of emoticons!!!      Kaye    |  |

Just as I thought, you've all sneaked off to a party and haven't told me. But I have my ways of tracking you down! PLEASE somebody tell me they've got a copy of the 203 wiki. Personally I blame Mike's pictures for the collapse, there's only so much a server can bear.  Russell |  |

Adding my voice to the messages to Gerry not to stress, and to those offering thanks for all the work currently going on behind the scenes. 
 Like others, I felt a bit lost when AF wouldn't load, but I've come to expect and accept computer malfunction.
 
 Meanwhile, am I the only AFer with the lyrics "star-trekking across the universe" running through their head?

I only thought the other day I should (a) finish it and (b) print a copy. I thought it was much better than that 203 entry on Wikipedia. I don't know if I've got the brain cells left to do it again. Looks like bribes of pints of warm ale will have to be paid here.Russell

Hey gib,  Is there any way we can capture from Wayback Machine, I know we've lost images linked to AF but the text is all there for many of our valuable threads (strangely thumbnail images have been captured) e.g. http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20060326211107/http://www.aussiefrogs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31957&page=2 Cheers Chris |  |
