The net will go down at some point today to allow the install of a new certificate (the more security conscious may have spotted that ours ran out some time ago). You may be notified or prompted nbsp;to install the new certificate, but I'm sure ti will look better than the horrible messages you get at the moment! Tom

Fair Use

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 14:34:27 GMT

Due to recent run ins with our ISP over some of our users behaviour and letters our ISP has recieved. We've been forced to institute a Fair Use system. Changes to the world of illegal file sharing, the Govenment's slighly confusing "Extreem P***n Law" etc have made it necessaray to tighten the system up. Sorry we didn't want to do it either some changes will already be visable. Others will be comming along soon: Comming soon: Blocks on dogy websites and filesharing sites.nbsp; Guest Access for purpous of registering ONLY Limits placed on usage. Shorter Login Periods (to disrupt filesharing apps) More Trottleing of individuals who use too much bandwidth. Old Accounts and Passwords will reamin the same, however dorman accounts will be cleared out. Duplicates purged, when you try and log in there will be features to fix failed registrations and password reminders. If you've attemted to register already and faied on the email address confirmation step. I've cleared out all those faield setups please go for it again. EDIT: New Login System is Now Live - you might want to register if you've been using guest access. Tom

New Security Certificate

Thu, 07 Aug 2008 15:08:15 GMT

So that you won't get security warnings when you log in we've bought a new signed security certificate. Your browser (IE firefox Safari etc.) Should accept it as Genuine without warning you of security issues when you log in. In the event your browser says "Certificate Changed" or similar, don't worry, we changed it deliberatly. Big thanks to James and Alec for sorting this. It cost us money so if you want to paypal us some useing the link on the right we won't mind at all. The PierToPier.net team.

Nodes 1,2 and 3 Down

Mon, 12 May 2008 15:07:42 GMT

Nodes 1,2 and 3 (in other words, the whole beach between the piers) are down. There is no functioning piertopier.net access at this time. We don't know when this will get fixed - we don't have many volunteers left, and this is a big thing to sort out. In the meantime, we have a working node in the Granville Hotel, and there is free wireless available from Looseconnection at Bar de la Mer. Sorry about this.
