I'm not sure this will get resolved. He initially told me that the hosting provider said it is back up but DNS needs some hours to propagate. This was Wednesday. I have sent an email to Adrian after that but the site is still showing down and Adrian is no longer replying to me.

This could be the end for the dope.

This may be useless info, but DNS has propagated at least to Comcast in Michigan.

I can successfully ping diamonddope.com via name. In general, the server hardware is up on the network. App could be dead.

Yes, I sent this to Adrian too (several days ago) but he has not replied. Either he is not interested enough to fix it or he is away for a few days.

There are a lot of great data and tools in there. Can we resurrect it? What would it take financially to keep it going?

Happy to contribute again.

I offered to host the site a few years ago. I will ask again.

I only ask this in terms of sustainability, but is it more realistic to seeing the long-term success of DD if it was based on a subscription model? I appreciate the fact that it's a service that's there for the community but if we had to kick in a few bucks a month to use it I imagine that would go farther in guaranteeing its existence in the long term. Adrian has earned his Strato Sainthood in spades and maybe it'll be better if the financial burden is structured in a way that we all do our part, and not in a "donate if you feel like it" kind of way.

Just my two cents.
