Public Service Announcement
Thursday September 20 2007 at 4:42 pm

Tim Ireland’s Bloggerheads site is currently down after his webhost pulled the plug. You can thank the latest Russian (that should be Uzbek) billionaire to reach the UK. The details will come out in due course.

Tim’s currently also without email so if anyone needs to get hold of him, I’m happy to be the go-between and pass on any message by phone. My email address is at the top of the page.

This also means that the family of websites that Tim and Clive (whose site is also down) look after are also currently AWOL. So if you’re missing the online presences of Craig Murray, Bob Piper or Boris Johnson, now you know why they’ve gone.

Tim and Clive are now looking for a new web home for themselves and the rest and are hoping to be back within 48 hours. If any sympathetic souls would help spread the word, it would be most appreciated.

Update: Some more background (via Garry). Those wishing to know more could do worse than a quick google.

Filed under a few administrative notices

This is disturbing. I for one will be writing to the asking for Craig Murray’s accusations to be investigated.

Ooops should have said to the FA

That sounds like an excellent idea, Paul.

Who was the webhost? Might be one to avoid/boycott ;)

Comment by Sunny on September 20, 2007 at 5:22 pm

Yeah, who was the hosting company??

Comment by Justin on September 20, 2007 at 5:25 pm

Can’t say too much at this point, but things will be said when Tim’s back in action.

Comment by Tom on September 20, 2007 at 5:39 pm

That’s obscene. Consider it publicised further.

Ugh, sad to hear. Best of of luck to Tim and the others in getting their sites back online ASAP.

I’d say that they should try to find a host with a spine - but unfortunately it is more of a problem with current law, than the hosts themselves.

Did you not read this from the post?
