I’ll ask here, since it’s not really a question about SDMB itself? What happened to the Page-O-Flames, and [fathom.org](http://fathom.org) in general? I’ve not been able to read PoF for quite a while because the connection is refused. Did Fathom go belly-up? ---

I just tried [Fathom.org](http://Fathom.org), and it does indeed appear to be down. ---

The Teeming Millions site has moved to its own domain at [http://teemingmillions.com/](http://teemingmillions.com/). The Page o’ Flames appears not to be up at the moment. ---

\ Opal and I were just discussing fathom _in person_ this weekend. \ She’s been migrating servers and some of the stuff needs serious recoding. Whether that applies to PoF I know not. ---

I h’ain’t been able to get into the PoF for a _long_ time. I just assumed Opal didn’t want to maintain it anymore.
