Back in early 2004, emulation.net and the komkon.org servers went down for quite a while (a month or so). It finally came back up, and I didn't worry too much went it went down again this year. But it's been at the very least many months since emulation.net has been down, though the komkon.org servers are up. Only the Candy Crisis site is up, and John Stile's personal site is inaccessible.

I considered emulation.net the definite best Mac emulation site, but now I am wondering if it will be coming back this time. Does anyone know what happened to this site, or even to John Stiles himself?

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

He used to have his webpage hosted for free, but then the hoster got pissy and wanted money. So he moved to a different hoster.

I don't know if he up and sold Emulation.net to someone else, or if it'll just get forwarded to the new host.

Maybe his DNS hasn't been updated yet.

I guess he didn't find a new hoster. This one is by someone else. What a shame.

At least someone decided to take it up.

How odd. Emulation.net has been on komkon.org for a long time. I don't see any reason to worry though, olePigeon. Seems John Stiles is still in charge of the site, but has given the updating duties to this new individual, Justin Emery. I just wish the old URL would have forwarded or aliased to the new one, instead of just drawing a blank.

Thank you for the new address, CharlesS. :-)
