Adios from ColdForged

  • Just FYI.

    After some trouble with my hosting provider — meaning having my account suspended for CPU usage 3 times — I’ve gone ahead and shut down coldforged.org. I currently have no intention of finding another hosting provider and starting anew, so this is the end of that era. Thanks to those who read and those who found my plugins helpful.

    My plugins, Enhanced Views, Paged Comment Editing, Image Headlines, and the Spelling Checker are still freely available under GPL from the plugin repository but I will no longer be supporting them. If by some chance I decide to revive the site in the future, I may pick up where I left off but I certainly wouldn’t count on it. And I’m sorry to say I won’t be checking back here for support questions on any of the plugins. There are lots of people using them who may be able to help you, though, so it doesn’t hurt to ask here.

    This also isn’t a call for help, free hosting, or debugging my installation. I’ve tried many things — static caching, disabling features, cached gravars — and I realized following this time that I think I am using the seemingly notorious “Brian’s Latest Comments” plugin which has caused such issues in the past. However, I’ve apparently had one too many strikes with my hosting provider and frankly don’t feel like paying more or going through the headache of migrating. Not worth it. Thanks in advance to anyone who wanted to help :).

    Adios, friends.

    Thanks to everyone for the kind words and thanks, sithicus, for the generous offer. Believe me when I say it’s much appreciated and I’ll keep it in mind. Right now I think a hiatus will be good, though I do find myself missing a place to fling thoughts up :).

    hey, maybe you’ll get sent an invite for the new wordpress.com, and have a free, hosted blog. coldforged.wordpress.com wouldn’t be a bad thing…

    Well CF whatever you decide your site and the plugins and advice you have given has been so helpful in helping chrisvschris.com get started. If you ever decide to get back into the game, I’m sure the community will be happy to help you out.. and we all miss you throwing up your thoughts!:)

    I’ve followed your blog for a while. I miss hearing about your daughter! And of course, I miss your ongoing contributions in plugins and discussion.

    Keep looking up,
    Lee

    Wow! Sorry to see you go. And thanks, ColdForged, for your development efforts.

    I’m just now installing Image Headline on a new WP site, and thought, dang, I’d like to look at the page on your site that has little tips and tricks (like how to call headline on the fly? or in something other than titles?). So sorry to see that it’s down, and >gnash!< it looks as though your site, circa 2005 didn’t make it into The Wayback Machine. Hm. I just tried my own site in the internet archive, and it’s not in there for 2005 either. Tried advanced search in the range of dates, and lo, nothing for 2005.

    P.S. I’m back ;).

    Wow, that was quick. 30 days. Welcome back, CF! ??

    That’s excellent news!! I’m running right now to the page where all the Image Headlines stuff is and saving it into a PDF (thank you, MacOS). I don’t want to be without that stuff again! (I wonder if the comments-paged plugin lets you see all the comments in one long page. I hope so. Um, yes, I did. 83 pages in a pdf. The Knowledge Has Been Preserved.)
