EVE-Survival Shutting Down

I just noticed on the EVE-Survival page this message:

Server HOST Messages: HELLO THIS SITE WILL GO OFFLINE 10-16-2017 - i AM CANCELING MY SERVER CONTRACT AS i CAN NO LONGER AFFORD IT IF ANYONE WHATS THE DATA AND OR THE DOMAIN NAME TRANSFERED PLEASE CONTACT ME AT DANI@GATERUNNER.COM BEFORE THIS DATE. IT WAS A GOOD RUN, REGARDS DANICE

It’s a damn shame. It was such a good resource for EVE.

a lot of players will finally be getting what they wish. the death of eve-survival. many hated it for making missions too easy.

I mostly used it to check WH sites to avoid getting in over my head.

They havent found out about http://wiki.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?title=Category:Missions yet then.

Someone has already had the servery databasey magic stuff transferred to them and it will get reheated by another community member. Was on Reddit the other day.

I contacted the site runner a wee while after the message went up, offering to take the domain and the data.

At that time, I got a copy of the data. Someone else was already getting the domain name.

So it should be returning. Just requires that person to do it.

In the mean time, if they don’t manage to get everything done before the site goes offline:

When these things happens, I wonder if CCP could help these sites by providing a hosting option. With CCP’s bandwith usage, affording the traffic of a site like this is literally peanuts, whereas for a smaller user the bandwidth cost can easily be too much. :thinking:

There used to be a ccp-hosted eve wiki. It was shut down in favor of ccp choosing to let player groups maintain and offer that information (e-uni and such)

http://eveovermind.com will also be hosting the site. we are currently working on getting it intergrated with the rest of the site

Thank you Kong,
please let everyone know when you are ready.

Just checked my original bookmark for EvE Survival and the site seems to be back up, at least the bookmark takes me to the site. Anyone else tried this lately?

“502 Bad Gateway”

Maybe it’s cached on your system?

Edit: either way, it’s good to know others are picking it up. :slightly_smiling_face:

I got the same 502 bad gateway error on Friday when I clicked the link out of habit.
Clicked it again yesterday, again out of habit and it went to the site.
I did not specifically save any of the pages or tell my browser to cache or save the pages.
Just now I cleared all of my browser cache, cookies, history and all other forms of stored data I can find.
Link still goes directly to the site and the 20 or so pages I checked including sections of the site I have never been to all work fine.

Got an explanation?

thank you

Luckily, I mirrored the site long ago.
