Talkorigins.org back up 12 Jan 2009 The website www.talkorigins.org is now back up, although links to the temporary archive www.toarchive.org/ still work for now. The story is roughly this – the company (joker.com) we bought the domain name from reassigned the IP number for the site as part of changing their data centre. They apparently sent an email notification to the administrator – Wesley Elsberry- but that went (you guessed it) to the email at the domain name. Since the domain no longer was active at the IP#, Wesley never got the email, and because we couldn’t use the registered email address to contact joker.com, they ignored many requests for help sent from other addresses not in their list. So it all had to be done by snailmail, and as it was the Xmas-NY break, it all happened in molasses. Anyway, we have resolved it and I will be one of the people who can fix the problem if Wesley is not contactable (I’m executive VP in charge of antipodean marketing for the Talkorigins Foundation). So with luck, all will be well in the future. We still haven’t fixed the commenting scripts that were taken over by a hacker in 2006, and the likelihood is that we never will, but the Interwubs move on… Administrative Creationism and Intelligent Design Evolution

So instead I will ignore the layers of irony that the naming of a… Read More
