The RFC certified unofficial site has "left the building"
This is the good one with old member pictures, recipes,
birthdays, etc

I went to it yesterday: recfoodcooking.org
and got the following screen message:

The domain recfoodcooking.org is may be for sale. Please send an
inquiry to

Maybe someone here with spare money and time might take it over
and bring it back to life but that probably won't happen.

"All things must pass" ;(

Come on, Gary, I'm sure you have a few dollars kicking around doing
nothing. They probably date back all the way to the 70s.

Dude the Newsgroup will not ever go anywhere. It does not matter who
buys it or who sells it. Besides how can you sell an open forum that
has already been established on many servers?

Hes not talking about the Usenet newsgroup itself, but a domain that
existed previously and was used for rfc €œstuff€�, like photos of us,
recipes, etc. The website was maintained by an rfc member.

Somebody already owns it - for now, at least. Mostly, that site wants to sell you some other similar sounding domain or somebody bought it for resale. My guess is that you could probably register it in your name for cheap - but why would you?

Sadly, our potential wealthy digital philanthropist has proclaimed to
have "eschewed tech". John can now be found fighting the local tribes
of squirrels for their acorn hoards, and drinking direct from the
local streams (AKA drains).

One can still view parts of it:

This one seems to work fine. Thank you for that. I didn't know
that websites were archived.

I just wanted to look up a recipe. Guess now, I'll look through
them and copy any I might want to keep.

No problem, most sites are not fully archived though.

Indeed it was! Maintained by several members over the course of many
years. It changed hands a bit. It also contains many 'In Memorium'
listings of RFC posters over the years. I sort of figured it was going
by the wayside when regular poster Cheri Gaudet died. I was still able
to access the site and clicked on Contact Webmaster (last known, Chatty
Cathy) and asked that her obit be added to that page on the site. Never
heard back and it never happened. I got the same message Gary did when
I tried to access it some time last month. Yet, when I tried again a
few days later I was able to access the RFC Signature Dishes page and
printed off a recipe I remembered and knew I could easily find there.
It's probably shut down now.

Hey! Sheldon always complains about how no submits pics of themselves
to the RFC photo gallery. Maybe he'd like to buy the domain and become
webmaster. <j/k>

I used the Contact Webmaster from the RFC site itself when Cheri Gaudet
died. Asked Chatty Cathy to add Cheri's obit info to the 'In Memorium'
page. A couple of times. It didn't happen. I don't think she's been
monitored the RFC site webmaster email address for a while.

I'm not terribly surprised if she's not interested in maintaining the
site. IIRC she came back here not all that long ago. Found a bunch of
trolls, including one pretending to be me who greeted her with a "****
you" response. Something I'd never do. I don't blame her for not
sticking around. Or for not wanting to maintain what used to be a fine
and dandy RFC website.

New trolls or the same old assholes using new masks?
There had not been much activity for a long time, but RFC on FB is quite
active.

I'm sure it is. RFC on FB doesn't have much to do with the RFC website.
Lots of good archival information there. Recipes contributed by folks
from this ng, photos (even a pets photo gallery), a map (that was a
mistake, people kept putting themselves in the ocean). Chatty Cathy
used to post fun surveys and the winners got to choose from a number of
Tinfoil Hat designs. It's too bad the website is going by the wayside.
It was fun. I'm glad I printed out a bunch of the "signature dishes"
over the years.

Not really..... so long as people realize that is just the usual cast of
assholes nymshifting and tolling.

Chatty Cathy hadn't been around for a while so she wasn't expecting it.
At least that's the impression I got. She hadn't thought to check
headers or set filters.

Yeah, well the demise of the RFC website really has nothing to do with
us sticking around RFC on Usenet. We're still here, despite all the
naysayers and trolls.

I'm having a hard time deciding what to cook for dinner. I'm going to
thaw a 1/2 lb. pork tenderloin for tomorrow. Many choices for cooking
it. I could brush it with Dijon or other spicy grainy mustard. Roll it
in garlicky breadcrumbs. Place it in a baking pan and roast it. 20
minutes at 400F. Delicious!

Or marinate it in a bit of olive oil with lemon juice, white wine and
crushed rosemary in the fridge overnight. Roast it. 400F for 20 minutes.

Decisions, decisions.

I already emailed Chatty Cathy two days ago but no reply as of yet.

I don't know how to maintain a web site but I'd gladly donate the few
dollars, I don't think the fee is very much. Something must have
befallen them in South Africa... a very troubled spot on the planet.
And actually from what I was told it was her husband who mostly
maintained the site.

We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I'll vote for that! Popeye should take it over as soon as possible.

POPEYE, WHERE ARE YOOSE?

Popeye is rich, but yoose wimmens will have to chip in a little
aging pussy to keep the old admiral happy.

If any of yoose are 100% mayan mexicans, he will go for that!

One needs to secure the domain name, or change it slightly if the
original is being held hostage for big bucks. Let's call the new one
recfoodcookingforever.com for now. I used to use GoDaddy for this.
<www.godaddy.com>, but there are others. It's inexpensive to secure a
domain name. It can be expensive to use a old one.
Then you need a hosting service. I used BlueHost, but I see GoDaddy
seems to do this now. That is fairly inexpensive also.
The total cost to me used to be less than fifty bucks a month. It may
cost a little more for a secure server site which one ought to have
these days, I've been told.
HTML 4.01 Strict forever! Yeah! Um...obsolete.
Then you have to create and upload the site to the host. I used to
create and upload my own stuff, so there was no charge for that. But
I'm old now and haven't kept up with the web. HTML and CSS were a
breeze to learn and a breeze to forget.
Creating a site as simple as rfc is/was easy, but maintaining it with
new info is a pain in the ass if you're not dedicated to the job. I'm
surprised that Chatty Cathy maintained it for so long for nothing at
all. Thanks, Chatty Cathy, from the bottom of my heart!

I used to have a domain name registered through a proxy. The hosting and domain cost me less than $200 a year. I had it for thirteen years. $600 a year seems kinda steep.

Hmm... I did say less than in my defense. I gave up the site in 2015.
Domain name ended at $35 per year and hosting looks like an average of
about $100 per year. I just looked it up in my financial program. Could
it have been that cheap? Probably. My mind is aging. I thought I gave
it all up ten years ago, not four.
I stick by dynamic maintenance is a pain in the ass, and I still thank
Chatty Cathy.

Some folks do pay $50 a month for basic web hosting. I sure wouldn't. Maintenance can be kind of a drag. That's why it could be a good idea to have some guy handle that aspect of your business. I sure didn't - but I probably should have. OTOH, I had a dirt cheap advertising budget.
