NetworkRedux hosting going away

Plesk is easy I’d vote that if I were running it. 


If you have a way to import from a php bb without the database then I can point the dns at whatever resolver you want when ready. There’s no email addresses really for cocoaforge. I’d focus on the Adium forum the rest seem wholly inactive. I can ping nr about getting access to that server but with it being the last day I don’t think there is a guarantee of anything. Sorry I’ve been busy with retiring Growl and unfortunately this just slipped. 

The dns record is really just an a record for forums.cocoaforge.com

It may also be worth not reviving it seems the forum seems to be dead. In which case a cname for forums.cocoaforge.com to the Adium GitHub ticket system would work fine imho. 

Thoughts?

Adiumxtras is probably the biggest resource and problem to address given all the user submitted content, I would suggest starting there.

It's been a few years since I managed one professionally, so maybe they've added it?

And if we want to continue with AdiumXtras as a user resource, we'll need some sort of hosting besides GitHub. Same with CocoaForge.

I think it would be best to migrate our nameservers to Gandi… but I don’t think I have the zone files for any of our domains. Do you know if we still have some way to obtain our current DNS records without access to the NR account?
