I have shifted from doing development on the more user-facing sections of the site to the admin-facing sections, both to simplify database management, but also to add some functionality to enable me to do some housekeeping.
To which, I have 140 or so sites which have been pulled from AFDC over the past 18 months that were initially inconclusive as to whether they were still up or not (many times it's obvious, but other times, not so much). To date I have put these on the back burner with the intent of going back at a later date and checking on them, but I didn't really give myself an easy way to do that. Until now. I've added some more tools and some indicators that show how long it's been since I've last checked on sites (so I can focus on which ones I haven't checked on in awhile).
As a result, I am now going through and cleaning out some of these older entries that are listed as OPEN but which are probably closed. You will probably notice a lot get added to the Permanently Closed category in the coming days.
I just wanted to give you a heads up that there's not some massive outage occurring, it's more just a case of getting caught up. It's likely these have been closed for months.
