Title: Is UC Down For The Count?
Post by: RSLancastr on February 12, 2013, 11:47:23 AM
Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere (I can't find the thread about it from a week ago), but last I heard, the site's webmaster was coming back from a week's vacation "the next day" (ths was several days ago) and all would be fixed then.

So far, nope!

From what I read, there's a 99+% chance that it is gone for good.

In a nutshell, changes by the ISP raised prices for concurrent user connections to the point that it was no longer feasible to run as an un-sponsored site without ads. Ths all apparently happened over a very short period of time. The person running the site couldn't/didn't want to (understandably) bear the increased burden alone.
