That's bad. Someone told me a few months ago that the folk who built it had given up updating it and that it's future was in doubt. Very sad if someone doesn't take it over and revive it as it was a really useful database.

The web site you are trying to reach has exceeded the monthly Data Transfer allowance, please check back later.
If you are the owner of this site, you need to increase
the data transfer allowance which you can do in the
control panel for your web hosting
That's not good at all - does anyone have a contact there?

The site seems to be working this morning so maybe someone's paid the bill.

Great! Maybe I'll go and donate now to make sure it stays up for a couple more weeks!

Same thing happend to me a few months ago (maybe four??) - the PFAF site was down, and I thought to myself - 'well, that's the end of that then
' but was up and running as normal a few days later!!
I think they have been looking for someone to look after one of their sites... not sure, just remember reading it on their site a while back. I think the creators (Ken Fern + family) were going to move to somewhere sub-tropical to continue their research...???

thank god for that - all that info cannot be lost.
Hope Ken et al manage to get things sorted out - if I lived a little nearer to the site I'd definitely be keen to help them with it...
