WinPenPack closed

Today, after a lot of attempts to enter to the Portable Software WebPage WinPenPack and reveived the same Index, I've seen that the page was closed.

It after a economic problems (I think because of the restrictions) and the user and download restrictions of them.

With that, we all lose a great ally in the Open Souce/Freeware Portable Software, and in the development of new portable applications.

We as community must see that fall as a example of what we DON'T do to extend this.

Moving

I think they're just moving servers. I believe someone had mentioned it earlier in the day. They're a relatively small site, so moving and having a blank page isn't uncommon.

We have no intentions of implementing user registration requirements, download restrictions, delaying source releases, repackaging questionable products or any of the other things that go on with the other portable software sites out there.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Back up

Site's back up. They posted a news article about it: http://www.winpenpack.com/main/news.php?extend.198.2

But there’s no sense crying over every mistake,
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
