Anybody have any additional insight as to what happened to ifnotnil.com? I got an email from them about recent posts, but the site is apparently no longer!

(I know some of you here frequented that site as well, and maybe you have more info...)

What did the site do?

INN should be transferred to NPalardy but they had an accident transferring the Server Droplet on Digital Ocean. As far as I know all tries to get the Data back failed and they have no access to the original account while the founder and domain owner of the site was leaving. So I guess: yes, Ifnotnil is gone for now, possibly they will form a new Site but the chance to get the old one back is becoming smaller and smaller from day to day. Sad for the Xojo Users and yes: it looks like it is on purpose.

Hey, @ThorstenStueker . thank you for that update!

From the article linked above, it seems the original owner just decided to shut it all down with only the briefest notice.

It's too bad. They had some good threads, and it seemed to be a good community. I know that some of our B4X members were active there as well.

Yes there was a nice community behind. But we will see if it can't be rescued what will be the rest when building a new one. I can't believe the they hat no backups outside that droplet. I never will be able to understand that especially while they are all so called computer specialists. But what ever: they will find a new home. I am sad even if I am only an Ex Xojo user but Java user. But it is what it is.

Yes, Norman and Tim could rescue the Site. A few days are missed but still...better than nothing. So we will be available on INN and see forward.
