Thread: Where did everyone at alipac.us go?

So I was just looking through the posts on this board from back in December and I noticed that there were more users engaged in discussions in early December than there are now. What happened to everyone? The post views were also generally higher then compared to now. Are some users not able to reach the new servers anymore? The site did switch servers right? Perhaps DNS record changes have not yet propagated to all DNS servers? A DNS record ties a domain name to the ip address of the site's main web server.

Why do you ask?

The post read counts are lower because some of our activists have not rejoined us yet and we have cut off some of the unnecessary web traffic to this site from foreign domains in China, India, and Russia.

Also, ALIPAC.us has taken an expected web traffic hit with the move that we are working to rebuild. We knew that would happen because there was just no way to make the needed software upgrades without breaking hundreds of thousands of existing links into our site. Had to be done.

Our web traffic is starting to rise again and once the website is OPTIMIZED in the next thirty days it should rise more and eventually exceed the amount of traffic we were receiving for ALIPAC 1.0

I also noticed a drop in post assumed some members simply did not transfer from old site.

That's what I'm saying. I'm a web developer and know that when you change servers you may lose users that for whatever reason can't access the new server.

You can hardly get a good discussion here with the 20 some users left here.

There was a full grown wolf in my front yard just now! My dog was pounding on the door yellin' "Let me in!" he was making weird sounds I've never heard before, we live in town! I've seen coyote's walk down our street but this was definitely a first!

There are far more than 20 users active here Googler. Please check our Who IS Active section where it indicates we have over 500+ active users and that number is growing.

Googler, you are very new here and you have not been here long enough to know how ALIPAC's support levels and participation levels fluctuate throughout the year and around our varied activism intensity levels.

Yes, there are about 10 of our more active users that have yet to rejoin us on ALIPAC 2.0 and we are working to bring some of them back in shortly.
