Any news on Familyrelatives.org/.com?
« on: Saturday 24 March 07 08:28 GMT (UK) »
Familyrelatives.org has been offline since March 9. That web address is dead but if you go to familyrelatives.com you will get redirected to this message http://www.familyrelatives.info/message01/message01.htm announcing that the service is being upgraded and will relaunch as familyrelatives.com in about 10 to 12 days from March 9. So it's getting a bit overdue. Does anyone know any more about the relaunch date ?

I received around 20 identical emails from familyrelatives.com today, each one telling me that my subscription will expire in 2 weeks' time.

The service is still down and has been for the last month.

Does anyone know how to get in touch with the proprietor ( a Jersey company called Treequest) ? I've tried sending email but it just bounces back.

I just received '27' mails from them to tell me My subscription will expire in 2 weeks! ::)

I think their Auto-mailing System must be the Only thing that They have 'Up & Running'! ::) :o

The only addy I can find is:

TreequestLimited_26386[at]dotmailer.co.uk

But I think this was only there 'Mail Sender' addy (I don't think it will be any good trying to send a mail to them using this addy)?

Also, they have Changed their Mail Server Anyway! ???

P.S.

The addy that sent me the 27 mails is from a Different Server!

I received my 27 mails overnight telling me that my subscription is about to expire.

Well I'd really LOVE to use my un expired credits..........but they've still not got themselves up and running again!!!

Spose there's nothing we can do then?

Their update notice says that the expiry dates for Members’ units will be extended while the site is unavailable.

If you are keeping an eye on this, you might want to note that they say they will be changing from ".org" to ".com" when the new server is up and running.

Don't get too excited just yet, but there is another update this week saying that they are in final testing mode and they expect the data transition to be completed  "around Easter time" (yes I know Easter was a few weeks ago!).

There is an apology to those who suffered from the "technical malfunction" - presumably that refers to all those emails reminding us to use up our units.
