Killer Wolf's domain seems to have expired: mirror request
So I'm currently in the process of adding OXPs to Oolite v1.77 on my fresh Debian "wheezy" installation, and while trying to fulfill the dependencies for [wiki]SothisTC[/wiki] I noticed that Killer Wolf's domain purgatori.net appears to have expired last month. I considered sending him a PM about it, but his profile shows he hasn't logged in for over 15 months ...
Could someone point me in the direction of a mirror for his OXPs, and/or get in touch with him regarding domain renewal? I'm mostly interested in the Sothis station, but the [wiki]King Cobra[/wiki] looks tempting as well.

Re: Killer Wolf's domain seems to have expired: mirror reque
Don't know of a mirror, so I think people who have got the last versions of KW's OXPs should consider hosting them on box.com...?
Re: Killer Wolf's domain seems to have expired: mirror reque
I think I have the latest version of pretty much all of his OXP's. Unfortunately, with the exception of the "King Cobra", he has not included any sort of licence. So I'm hesitant to put them on box. Also, his latest appearance on the forum was a bit unfortunate, so I'm not sure he would want anyone else to host his OXP's.JazHaz wrote:Don't know of a mirror, so I think people who have got the last versions of KW's OXPs should consider hosting them on box.com...?

Indeed, I fear the somewhat jocular nature of this board claimed a victim here.
Like many, I hope KW will forgive and forget, and return here one day.

Maybe someone could start by contacting him and telling him no offence was intended. It's sad that he left in such a way.Smivs wrote:Indeed, I fear the somewhat jocular nature of this board claimed a victim here.

Would be good to have him back here.

With regard to KW, that idea has tempted me several times before - but no matter how well-intentioned, I think it would be an abuse of forum privilege.Gimi wrote:Maybe someone could start by contacting him...
I would need a second opinion from the other Mods/Admins before I'd consider emailing him (and I somehow doubt he would respond anyway).

Re: Killer Wolf's domain seems to have expired: mirror reque
Should we move KWs oxps to the broken section in wiki?

Re: Killer Wolf's domain seems to have expired: mirror reque
I don't know about that - they are not broken as such. Their un-availability is a problem though...spara wrote:Should we move KWs oxps to the broken section in wiki?

Re: Killer Wolf's domain seems to have expired: mirror reque
True. Maybe "unavailable" or "MIA" section would be in order. Or someone just puts them up somewhere and we'll see what happens. In any case, I think that something ought to be done about it.Smivs wrote:I don't know about that - they are not broken as such.

Re: Killer Wolf's domain seems to have expired: mirror reque
I think it would be better to update the relevant Wiki pages with a note that they are currently unavailable. Possibly a small note in the OXP list as well.spara wrote:Should we move KWs oxps to the broken section in wiki?

Yes. That way new users won't be clicking "page not found link"s. Those give a bad feeling.Gimi wrote:Possibly a small note in the OXP list as well.

Re: Killer Wolf's domain seems to have expired: mirror reque
From the "OXPs with Problems" section of the [wiki]OXP List[/wiki]:
IMHO this is where they belong at the moment.
.The following table contains OXPs that have problems eg. broken download [...]
