p.1 #1 · Is cogitech's forum still alive?


Last two days it hasn't worked for me, i get an address not found message...
Anybody else noticed this? one thought I had is for some obscure reason it may have been added to Australia's (trial -so far) internet filter blacklist. Unlikely I know but a few incongruous ones have been put on the list previously..

I was/am really hoping to see that forum flourish!

It was March Break in Canada over the past two weeks, so he just may be away and not able to deal with whatever the problem may be.

www.cogitech.ca still loads (placeholder page), but forum.cogitech.ca does not, making me think something is wrong there with phpBB software.

i too hope the site returns; a wealth of information there...

Still down. I guess he is taking his 'forum hiatus' pretty seriously.

I am really missing Dimitry's excellent Fast 50 shootout shots which were hosted on this website. Anyway, we can get them transferred to another site?

Perhaps somebody here has his email address and could ask the man himself what the deal is

I would offer to host it but im not sure whether it would eat up all my bandwidth each month. I only have 100gb!

You guys need to remember that he wanted to get away from the "cyber life." He just logged into this forum a few days ago to check in with a comment or two.

Of course!
My proposal was meant to be along the lines of finding out what the deal was and possibly having somebody else take over the forum..
I can certainly understand his position.
I think I need to distance myself from computers and the interenet a little as well, as is probably the case with most forum frequenters out there.

"I only have 100gb! "

Um, yeah - I think that would more than cover it. ;-)

Just didn't want to lose access to all your excellent work.

I assume you have no plans of adding any special 50 1.4's to the mix, like
the CV 58 1.4 and the sigma 50 1.4?

Well that is true for the most part, however I dont want my brides having any issues accessing their galleries! =bad mojo.

But, I s'pose it could work... If things get out of hand I can have double that for a few extra dollars a month.

I'm OK.

Getting better all the time.

Since I owe some of you an explanation; the site was compromised by a member of this forum.

I'm not going to spend my life dealing with shit like that.

Oh, and Fred (if you are there) just get on with it already! Do I have to YELL?
