Has "Happy Haggis" website closed down?

[Rakiura John]

All my saved links to various sections of www.happyhaggis.co.uk now state "site can't be reached". Has it closed down?

The most recent snapshot of the site at the Internet Archive was taken on May 21st 2024  which suggests that it has gone away.

This link will take you to the archived home page:

I don't know if everything is archived there, but its worth having a look. I tried the BMD newspaper notices – they seem to be accessible.

As the domain was renewed faithfully for 23 years since registration, it is unlikely that the registrant would be unaware of the pending renewal.

The site content in the Internet Archive looks rather like a labour of love, which isn't the mark of someone who simply decided not to renew

Possibly there has been significant change in their circumstances (e.g. health), and they are no longer able to maintain the site and/or domain.
