Title: What's happened to The Hovel?
Post by: Hippykitty on January 11, 2008, 11:26:48 AM
Must admit, I didn't visit the Hovel much as nothing seemed to happen there - not enough chat. But I tried earlier and found that the link took me to something which was nothing like a cat forum.

Anyone know what's happened?

Tried to open 'hovel' link this morning - keeps taking me to a website which is 'hovel' but has nothing to do with the hovel I've been talking on!
Has the website been stolen??

When I closed my website down the other week, something like that came up for a while.

Not sure where they have gone Daisy.  There is another thread running on this as well - http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php?topic=11204.0

I'm going to merge the two topics Daisy so you should have replies on the other thread.


Edited to add: peeps, two merged topics here relating to same question, ignore any inconsistencies in reading through the thread up til now.

Having looked at this and the google links, it is possible the host went down. This appears when you are looking for new domain names for example. Various reasons could be in play here. The site ownership may not have been renewed, or the host itself went down and all those who host their websites with them are affected. could be any number of reasons.
