T(A)U is down

Post by Cpt. Aramsham »

I was sorry to hear of the death of Gregory Trenholm Tidwell, known here as Omphalos, especially at such an early age.

Now the other Dune forum he managed, The (Almost) Undeleted, has gone offline. It hosted a whole lot of extremely interesting material, and I very much hope someone has it all backed up. (I have some of it, but I'm missing a lot of the interviews and other texts that were posted.)

I wonder if anyone has any plans or ideas for how to recreate something similar?

(Freakzilla, have you checked your PMs?)

Wow, that sucks. Greg's brother who runs the server has been going through a lot, I've been trying not to hassle him. I'll send him a message.

Thanks! I figured T(A)U was probably gone for good.

It's a small thing in the context of a death, and I don't mean for you to bother him when he has bigger issues, but if his brother can bring it back online without too much trouble, that would be nice. A different solution might still be better in the long term, though.

Some things could have been saved by archive.org. There are snapshots of the site available on the wayback machine.

We're gonna do our best to save as much as possible, but we don't want to push too hard considering the circumstances.

That is welcome news.

That's great.
If anyone knows how to save the info it contains that'd be awesome :)
