I went to go visit Volition Watch and I got this

volitionwatch.com

This domain name expired on 04/10/2005 and is pending renewal or deletion.

It was bad enough that they stopped updating sometime ago, now I think I just saw the end of an era....

Volitionwatch has closed down long ago. The staff and projects have migrated here. HLP is the last big HUB for freespace.

Now is an end of an era?

Try a year ago.

Thing is it looks like only the domain name is gone. If anyone knows the IP address of the telefragged server hosting the site you could probably still get in.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

Closed. The archives have been shut down. On this very day.

I was browsing the misc. files section, hit refresh, and the site was gone.

Crap.

I just noticed it too :(

I know the site hadn't been update in, well, ages, but it's still a bit of a shock that it's now totally gone :(

Man, all the cool FS stuff I got from that place... definitely the end of an era :(

Are the plans still in place to relocate the contents of the Archives to HLP?

It'd be nice for historicle purposes, but to be honest, there was little of anything particularly large on the Archives.

Is there some other place that Bob's PCS tutorial can be found?

I didn't mean the site; I meant all of the missions, campaigns, and miscellaneous mods.  There was also a great hosted site, Tech Freespace, which had, among other things, full descriptions of the origin of ship names of all the FS1/2 ships.  I'm assuming that'll be on the Internet Archive, at least.

Rumor has it, that the Archives somehow became corrupted, so mass backups weren't feaseable, and even the VW Alumni for some reason couldn't access them from the FTP...

Don't worry about the Archives. They should be restored in the future.

Damn, that site had a modelling and texturing tutorial that i wanted. :(

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

Yeah.. we don't actually own the domain, Telefragged does.. so when the time comes around every year, they don't have automatic renew on it, I guess.. so it takes them a couple of days to renew it. It's renewed now again, though... so at least another year of VolitionWatch's existence for archival purposes.

The situation is this: everything is still on the servers... everything. One problem: they changed the logins a long time ago and contact with Telefragged is sketchy. We've tried to get in contact with them on a few occasions to get stuff back for archival purpose, but to no avail. So as it stands: everything's still there, but we don't have access to our own site anymore.
