Fotopic?

[The Exposer]

Does anyone know what has happend to Fotopic? Nothing seems to work.

Interesting, it appears as if Fotopic has had another meltdown, or alternatively a big problem - I hope Denair backed his album up after the last scare

Apparently the home server is down - from Neil Fraser, moderator of the CCMV Yahoo! Group and ccmv.fotopic.net, of which I am a member:

Dear all,

You're probably already aware that Fotopic.net has been offline now for several days and every single Fotopic gallery is unavailable. Speculation is rife but no one actually knows if this is another serious hardware failure (servers were recently relocated) or whether the parent company has finally gone under this time and the plug has well and truly been pulled. The longer this goes on the bleaker things look.

I have all the CCMV and AEC pictures and captions safe. Fotopic may come back, but its reputation is so damaged many gallery owners have already begun looking for alternatives. Indeed the former owner of Fotopic is bringing forward the launch of his new product but it's still a little way off.

The thought of rebuilding the galleries from scratch again is a bit daunting but of course this pales into insignificance in view of events in New Zealand and now Japan.

I'm sure a solution to the gallery problem will be found so please keep the excellent flow of pictures coming.

All the best,

Neil F.
