Just now: 

IPS Driver Error
There appears to be an error with the database.
You can try to refresh the page by ....
There are known knowns which, had we known, we would never have wished to know. It is known that this also applies to the known unknowns. However, when one attends a hearing, Mr Rumsfeld's idea that there are also unknown unknowns fails to apply because, anyone who is in the know, knows that unknown unknowns are purely a deception otherwise known as an aleatory experience or also known as a lottery. I know that I know this to be a fact and, in this knowledge, I know that I am fully prepared to present my case but, paradoxically, in full knowledge that the unknown unknowns may well apply in view of some adjudicators' lack of knowing what they ought to know through no fault of their own.

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...
Bus driving since 1973. My advice, if you have a PSV licence, destroy it when you get to 65 or you'll be forever in demand.

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
Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) (2002)
Function Performed: CONNECT
Host/DB: localhost/pepipoo_cmsms
Database Type: mysql

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.
I practice law in the Traffic Penalty Tribunal, London Tribunals, the First-tier tribunal for Scotland, and the Traffic Penalty Tribunal for Northern Ireland, but I am not a solicitor nor a barrister.

Enclosed herewith is a letter intended for your clients' attention. I kindly request your confirmation of its safe receipt and assurance that the enclosed message has been effectively conveyed.

Content of letter to Mike Morgan and Steve Smith


Quote
FAO Mike Morgan or Steve Smith of Pepitec Ltd,

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.

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 am responsible for the accuracy of the information I post, not your ability to comprehend it.

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?

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%).
There are motorists who have been scammed and those who are yet to be scammed!
