I went to go visit the "Hallcross" website today...and found this...

http://www.hallcross.co.uk/

..is there anyway to recover the site?

The way back machine is not going to work because the site had a robots.txt the blocks crawlers

Robots.txt Query Exclusion.

We're sorry, access to http://hallcross.co.uk/* has been blocked by the site owner via robots.txt.

Ok we need to sort this one out people
We need to get some one on this right now
damn it

Looks like a page that is put up when the hosting fees are overdue.

Yep, it must be the fees not payed anymore

either that or they have been suspended for whatever reason.

It is about a year ago now that Splodge had to move all his Hallcross files to another server, so If he payed for this one for one year, it could be for that reason. Perhaps the Photoshopcontest.com can take over the Hallcross pages as a sister site and keep it going. There are so many tutorials on it, that loosing it will be a great shame.

if tina can get access to the files, i will host them

That is an incredibly generous offer. I'd do it but I don't have the space (or bandwidth).

SquidMan, send a PM to HellsGate (Hellsg8?) [Tina] and see if this is possible.

ok, PM on the way..

I have a mobile me account and don't use all of my space. I'd be happy to host it or parts of it. He also hosted some of our best site images there.

Let me know if/how I can help after you hear back from Tina.

Thanks Nancers, I would be more than happy to host anything like that.. I would hate to see your mobile me account jeopardized. (i dont know how they work or their terms of service) Your more than welcome to handle the admin side of it too if you want, i can make an account for ya if this all comes to play so that you can admin, add/remove/update and whatnot.

I should have plenty of room and bandwidth. I have 3 professional hosting accounts.

I sent tina the PM with info that might help her get the info to me she would need in order to get that sorted. If for some reason I cant handle it all, then I will send some your way.


There is no catches here i can foresee, It is simply part of who I am, and what I do for communities and friends that I like.

Yeah he also had the most recent copy of the class photo and a lot of other PSC related images and created sites, ie scavhunt and a few forum game sites.

I was wondering if it would be possible to host some of these with in the confines of PSC. That way we get to keep our heritage. Even a special splodge rocks section...just a thought K

is psc wants to host them thats fine as well.

I have plenty of oomph for it. can even point the domains at my servers.

if tina can provide that info to me, no one will know the difference unless they just know..
