Anybody know what happened to Warchilds FJR Tech? His site was invaluable . Site says not under active development.
FJR TECH.COM
- Thread starter trimmantom

Help Support Yamaha FJR Motorcycle Forum:
To be clear, it was moved to FJRTech.net and the other .com isn't active at all...long story with the domain name renewal. As for it not being under development, that's likely a polite way of saying the 20 year old web code or hosting system (he used ColdFusion) has been retired and/or insecure and one-pager is better than throwing an error.
I wouldn't expect it to be updated. Use the existing resources including some of it that was also covered under http://www.fjr-tips.org/.
Alternatively, if you're a web guy and really want to add it back to the FJR community, send a note to Warchild and volunteer to do it. I bet he's got the back-end data still.

My first FJR would have never happened except for Warchild and the information on FJR Tech. There was nothing unique about my bike. I built it practically step by step from information on that site. For me, it too was invaluable.

Thanks for the info Iggy. I'm not a web guy.
The deprecation of code generators is why FJR-TIPS.ORG was done in hand-coded HTML. It's not very fancy but it works.
But it does bring up the possibility of someone who might want to take that code, move it to a new host, and assume caretakership of it so that it "wakes back up" with new content.
I could do it for the bi-line as my payment would be to no longer shoulder the cost of hosting and domain registration. I'm rethinking costs since a broken window at the house meant I had to cancel my plans to attend the nearby IBA event this past weekend (just to save half of my overnight stay costs and gas+M&IE). Those margins are too tight.
