Hello.
At some point in 2008 popuw.com was no longer available and was greeted with "404 Not Found". Popuw.com was only back online in July 2011. I would be interested in what was going on? And why did it take so long until Popuw.com is online again? Has something happened to the server, has there been any dispute or due to natural disasters?
Why was popuw.com Down for 3 years back then?

(I'm not sure why you posted your question on the "Introductions" board, but...)

Maintaining the PoPUW website+forum was time-consuming and arduous (yet fulfilling) for Jalal, and when he ran into hosting issues, he decided to take a break.

It is very important to know that keeping a forum alive, being its manager, keeping the community alive, contacting old members to remind them that some open threads may need their answers, keeping the phpbb versions, skins, latest pop news and download sections up-to-date, banning spammers, etc is a very hard task jalal was doing everyday.
