VOD
« on: December 11, 2021, 09:09:19 AM »
Is VOD no more?  Just had a look this morning and I get a page saying account suspended.  So it looks like it may have been finally laid to rest, died, popped it's clogs.  Or is it just sleeping?

Yep...same for me. Dead in the water, belĺy up. Slipped off this mortal coil. It's fuckin' snuffed it.

Lets face it chaps...its been dead for a long time. Shame Paddy didn't see it/didn't want anything to do with it.

Working for me.  There's a lot of cumulative knowledge there that shouldn't be wasted.

I don't think anyone has even been able to make contact with Paddy to ask or offer help.
Forums in general seem to be on the decline in favour of things like facebook groups. No doubt something new will come along and they will loose popularity too in time.

Ah, it was just resting then.   No doubt it will be off for another snooze in a few days to rejuvinate it's failing bandwidth!
