Good to see Fadu up and running again!


I was wondering if a Facebook page would be an appropriate back up?

FADU is like an old friend. It's amazing how you miss it when it's not there.
Many thanks to the admin. staff.

It just suddenly strikes me that everything may depend on one person. Is this the case?

I beg you not to even THINK about a facebook alternative. That insidious organisation is one I would gladly see go bankrupt. An organisation that hides the identity of pedophiles and suspects for serious crimes does not deserve to be afforded the oxygen of publicity.

I think this is a good idea, assuming the Moderators agree. A channel of communication, if something goes wrong with the site, would save a lot of confusion.
I’m going to admit now that I’m not on Facebook, but lots of people are, and a simple post explaining the problem would get the word round quickly.

Me neither Alex. I distrust a site where you are the product. I do not want to join that site and give my details solely on the off chance that FADU goes down again. If my research is correct, FADU's registration now expires on 21 Aug 2020 and as this wasn't a "computer" problem this time, I think the likelihood of the same thing happening again until renewal comes around is remote or non-existent

FADU just has to ensure that whatever the admin difficulty was, it has taken steps to prevent it happening again in 2 years time.

If it is an admin difficulty that is currently not solely within Barry's control then I am sure that Barry and the Moderators will use the 2 years to work on a permanent solution

Since we all presumably have e-mail addresses, it might be simplest for one of the FADU organisers to have access to them.

I admit that, during the down time, I hoped that it wouldn't be permanent enough to ruin the Cornish venture (all the very best for that, by the way).
