I was on Conservative Cave though posting rather infrequently. I registered here with my CC forum name several days ago but I doubt anyone will recognize me from CC. Between lurking around to scope out CPF and a 1200 mile trip the past couple of days (posting to a discussion forum while driving isn't a good idea), this is my first post.

From what I've seen on another forum the story is that the DDOS attack brought down Conservative Cave (and at least one other conservative forum I'm aware of) and afterward their host dropped them. Last I heard they were trying to find another host, though after this much time I'm not sure that is still the case.

Interesting, when I did a search for Conservative cave, we were the first listed in google, I had to go way down the page to find a link, only to find, you are correct, they're still down.

Thanks, Solar. My experience was similar to yours. I had been using searches to check out whether CC was back up yet when last Wednesday or Thursday CC was no longer the first result and CPF and CU were at the top.

Yeah, something is really strange here.

If anyone tied directly to the ownership of conservative cave is reading this, I have a proposal.
I'll pay to host you on my server to get you back up and running, just PM me here with the pertinent details.

That hosting company really screwed them.  I'd normally not care, but it was a conservative forum, and we need more conservative media, so I hope that provider rots in hell.  They built up a nice member base, and now they had to scatter.  I know Conservative Underground is taking care of them until they're back up, but it's still a crappy situation for them.

The bigger question, is why aren't they back up and running?

My total guess is they may not be tech savvy enough.  It doesn't take long to get a forum up and running.  If it were me:

- find some forum software you like and just get it up on a hosting platform.
- while you're rebuilding your base, get your old servers up
- then start a migration plan to get all your old boards/threads back and re-map your old members to the new members.

It would be a project, but totally doable for them.

Bingo! The members would be tickled just to have their site back, up and running, the archives could come later.

May I add to Solar's offer in this thread, if the principals at Conservative Cave need a new banner...well, hey.
