alacache.com -- What Happened?

[+TetrAmigos]

Hi there southerners! My Alabama-native cousin sent me an Alabama Geocachers geocoin to our home in California for Christmas. We didn't get around to activating it until today, and we plan to send it into the wild with the lofty goal of visiting all 50 states before its "retired."

 

On this coin (sample below) you can see that it references the website www.alacache.com:

 

Unfortunately we were dismayed to find the site listed on the coin down, linking to a trash-link page. Any news on what happened to www.alacache.com? Alabama sure has some unique countryside to geocache in, and I was bummed that I didn't get to cache when I was in Decatur last summer. Sure hope the site is only down temporarily!

The original owner never replied as to why he closed the site. The name came up for renewal but was picked up by someone, likely in the hopes of turing it for a profit. So it sits.

 

You are welcome to visit Dixiecachers.com where most of the alacache crowd has gone.

 

Radnax, I believe handled that coin and should be able to help with activation.

The activation code was included, so we are OK. Just wanted to know what had happened.

Ok we'll be releasing the coin. Thanks for the update on the new website, Rick.
