Does LQ still have man pages?


The last couple times I've tried to access man.linuxquestions.org I have been unsuccessful. This last time (within last hour or so) I checked what was happening with tcpdump. The name is resolving to 207.44.182.114 but there was no response to the syn packets that were sent. Is it down? Abandoned? Under reconstruction?

This was already discussed last October in this forum. Here is the jeremy's answer:

We removed them well over a year ago as a result of the code being old (and broken) coupled with low usage. This is the very first time I can recall someone inquiring. If the demand is there we'd be happy to look into a new solution, but I can't imagine that'll be the case. Thanks for the feedback.

Oh dear. Senility must be closer than I realized! I fully intended to "click here to find similar threads" but now that I think back, I don't think I did. And I could have sworn I had used the LQ man pages within the last year. Oh well ...

Anyway, thanks for your response. And may I suggest that man.linuxquestions.org be removed from the DNS server?
