Although I haven't done anything with OceanGirl for some time (but it's still in my heart)
I've had some contact with martin about his site and stuff through e-mail. Not only about his site.. Also about oceangirl and stuff (and I don't mean trough the OGmailinglist)
I agree with savant. As long as we don't have the original website, there's nothing we can do.
I'm currently trying to contact the hostingpoviders and get an update on what happend to the website. (Please do not all try to contact them.)
If I can retrieve to original website. I'll be willing to host it (if the site isn't to big - more than a few 100MB - I expect it to be 200MB)
(both website and domain). Ofcourse I can't afford takingover a domain for $300. But I don't think it will be $300. That's something Tom has missread (Or I did)
My plan is to keep the original website up + a small page about martin (as an memorial to martin)
I do this because martin's death move me. I do this as a last homage (don't know the correct word) to martin.
I do not want to update his site. Neighter am I doing this to promote my own website (which I don't have) or any other reason you can think of. (At leased I couldn't)
But as Lars said something similar. My voice is not the only voice.
So just say what you think of it. If some of you want to keep the website updated, it's only acceptable if it is done next to martins page. So that Martins page remains untouched. (Or that's how I feel)
(English is not my native language so maybe some of my words are poorly chosen, my apology's for it)
