On the move …
Having started at Lycos and later moving to GeoCities, this site has moved around, already. Until end of 2013 it is hosted at Worldonline, which became Tiscali and then Telfort. That company is an Internet provider that supplied me dial-in (modem) access. With the improvements in mobile access their services became obsolete for me. I had registered a domain for a small NSU-related webshop in the past, and decided to expand that site with my personal NSU data.
At the same time, I am migrating from the layout maintained using Notepad++ (directly editing the HTML code) to something more of these days – WordPress.
Over the winter months of 2013/2104 I will be migrating the remaining texts to this site, and some to the site of the NSU Club Nederland. The old site was stopped. As far as possible, I will use the original date and time of the updates, so you may see posting that are published from before this WP-site was installed.
Check back here for frequent updates, and please bare with me as I get the hang of this (to me) new environment.
The move made me aware of something; for some reason multiple parties seem to think they are the ones that need to save the former GeoCities data, and host it for your, as previous owner, without any notification to yourself. So while you go on updating your site in it’s new location, stale data is left in multiple places, polluting search results and potentionaly hijacking or diverting traffic.to the new-and-improved version.
In the past week I contacted Geocities.ws, and Oocities.com to request dismissal of “my” sites as hosted on their servers. And Webring somewhere seems to have decided to do the same, but they provided my a service to simply remove both my stale NSU webring and the site copy they were hosting.
I’ll make sure to keep on Googling myself for the coming months to see where else my site might have been duplicated.
Be aware … !
