But is there anyone who is in a position to fix it, given the intermittent nature of the admins?
Still like it this morning...the end is nigh...
If the Pepipoo administrators are unresponsive to your attempts to communicate, consider reaching out to them through their accountants at
https://hillsandpeeks.co.uk/. Their recent submission of a confirmation statement on 22 August last year suggests they are actively engaged. Request that your message be relayed to their client, and enquire whether they might be open to transferring administrative control to a more proactive party.
I've seen the IPS driver error multiple times in the last six months or so. Usually goes away after a few minutes.
This morning I'm getting the below which is new, to me at least.
Database Connection Failed

This was attempted during the last outage in June last year and nobody got any response at all, that's exactly why we set up ftla.

Dear Sirs,
I trust this message finds you well.
Allow me to introduce myself; I am [NAME]. Although we have not had the opportunity to acquaint ourselves previously, I hope you will understand the significance of my outreach.
I am contacting you in your capacity as directors of Pepitec Ltd, the overseeing entity of the web-based forum community known as Pepipoo.com.
The purpose of my communication pertains to recent disruptions in service, compounded by the revelation from moderators regarding their inability to ensure the continuity of the website.
I wish to extend an invitation for you to consider presenting an offer to transfer control of the service, along with the associated domain name, which currently holds a remaining registration period of four years.
My intention behind this proposal is to appoint an administrator capable of assuming responsibility for maintaining continuity, as well as assembling a team of volunteer moderators to oversee the day-to-day operations of the community.
Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to contact me via email at [EMAIL] or by telephone at [MOB].
I would greatly appreciate your confirmation of safe receipt of this communication, regardless of your decision.
Best Regards,
[NAME]
I'll keep you all posted.
Still offline at 0830 Sunday morning. Maybe the same hack that nobbled Sainsburys, Tesco, JustEat etc.
@Night soke
don't hold your breath
The next moron to bump this thread asking for updates will likely find themselves not posting for a while.
Same for any posts to say that it's still down.
If we are made aware of any updates, they will be posted here.
I'd say at that stage it's looking pretty terminal. Fortunately the admin of this group had the foresight to transfer the major contributors to this new site.
What would happen to the assets of Pepitec, namely approximately £30k?
If anyone had donated to Pepipoo previously for the purposes of keeping the site online, could they put in an objection to the company being wound down? The idea being that any of their previous donations are obviously no longer needed, and thus with such an excess of liquidity that's going to the directors, the donation could be returned?
Why would any assets go to the directors?
Why would any assets go to the directors?
They wouldn’t but they would normally go to the owners (after settling any liabilities) who in this case are the same people (unless their are other shareholders with less than 25%).
