Was commented upon a couple of days ago.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

That comment on Thursday 30/9/21 was:
Cactiguide seems to be down for at least two days now...
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=165299&start=50

Succulentguide.com is up and running though. Shame they didn't keep the forums separate :twisted:

Message from Dave Whiteley who was in correspondence with Daiv on the 27th of last month:

Dave

Yes, I'm working on this. Something started using too many resources. I hope to get it up and running soon.

If the bandwidth is the problem then it could be something like Pinterest hot linking the images. That could very easily use up all the bandwidth.

Further update from Dave and Daiv just now:

Dave,
I was going to put up a temporary page with the explanation. So we're working on getting the site moved to a new server. It is a big site so it is taking a while. I hope it is ready soon.

Daiv

Our thanks to David Whiteley.
