Journalfen server status: not so robust ;)

[snacky]

In case you were one of the people wondering!

Regarding Journalfen being down, I checked with the JF admins, and this is what I was told:

It's not down for good. They had to cancel the old servers while migrating to the new ones, because double server payments were too expensive. The problem is that the old LJ code is too hard to install on modern servers now, so they're going to have to try to get a dreamwidth codebase installed and then find a way to import the old entries.

So it's only the old LJ codebase that's gone for good. Evidently it will be tricky importing all the old entries and comments, and it might take a while, but they're pretty sure they can do it!

There should be a placeholder up at journalfen.net soon, explaining this! HERE IT IS!

Any further updates? It's been more than two years now, are the admins completely out of it at this point? I understand that there was a serious family illness, and I sympathize, but I really don't want to see years of work just gone forever. If the admins don't have the time or interest to pursue it, I'm sure someone could be sent the drives and the work could continue.
