UFN is down again? (12-28-16 edition)

Yep. It’s down.

If only there was an alternative site with most of the same posters that was actively managed and has never had even a single outage. . .

In the gummermint, UFN means Until Further Notice.   UFN down UFN

Timing of the latest outage is perfect for killing the audience. On the day of a bowl game, really?

Jesus how hard is it to pay the bill. Really, really hard, apparently. This is a case study in holding on too long. Thank you Tony for setting this up. I havent posted much because I’m currently in the wrong time zone but I’mreally hoping the migration continues.

I haven’t posted there since the last time it went down. These technical issues along with Chris’ attitude and “fundraising” have almost permanently driven me away. I don’t intend to be a regular there unless he sells it or makes a dramatic change in the way he runs it.

I mostly lurk here. This has become my go-to site for Ute news.

It is very aggravating. I don’t think it can be saved. Every time it goes down, fewer and fewer people get back on when it finally comes up. The average number of people logged on is about 30. It used to be about 100. Oh well…..

It’s Bowl Game Day and UFN is down. Say it ain’t so. Is this the 999th cut from the death by a 1,000 cuts?

I love ufn but I’m afraid it’s demise is imminent if it hasn’t already happened. Man, that site used to be hoppin’! Now sometimes it goes over half a day without a single post.

I hope this site grows and grows. It’s very well run and moderated and very welcoming. Maybe some of the old ufn vets who disappeared over the years will discover this and sign up.

I made this post there last night.  “Of all the deaths in 2016….It’s this website [UFN] that I’ll miss the most.”  I didn’t think that post would be a death blow.

That is too bad. There was a question on Twitter as to whether the site should be sold, and unfortunately the answer is “Yes, in about 2012. And the code needs to be significantly updated beyond El Jefe’s circa 2004 Cougarboard software.”

Oh well, the Chat function here is great and the info and ability to actually have a discussion is more readily usable.

Great job, Tony! You got this site up and running just in time. Saw a need, filled the need, life is good!.

Ute Fan is deeply outdated and it’s amazing to me why everyone hasn’t converted to Ute Hub.

Utah Athletics deserves a good site. Let’s make this that site. Cheers Tony and Happy New Year everyone. Let’s hope for a strong finsh to a troubling Utah Football season.  

We’ll know that UFN is truly dead when the traffic on the Political board takes off here.

I participate in discussion both here and on UFN, but I’m beginning to give up on UFN. This is now my go-to site for Ute discussion. Monkey has really let that place go to s**t and there is no reason to support it anymore. He hasn’t done anything lately to garner our support, whereas Tony has done an unbelievable job here and it gets better all of the time.

I’ve tried to be patient and loyal, especially as Chris has clearly had his share of struggles, but I’m done. Deleting UFN from my bookmarks. Good luck to whoever the hell ends up with domain.

Sadly, I’m afraid the inevitable outcome for UFN is that, one day, the site will go down and won’t ever come back up again and all that great Utah sports discussion history will disappear forever.

It’s a sad thing to think about but, unfortunately given the state of the site owner’s circumstances, a likely conclusion.

As for me, I’ll keep dropping into UFN from time to time until it’s demise, but my main source of Ute discussion will undoubtedly be UteHub.

I don’t know what the big deal is.  I have to avoid my wife a few days a month.  I can live without UFN for a few days every month.

It’s still down.

Fascinating.
