I have found similar screens occasionally when trying to link through some of my more ancient bookmarks. Sometimes googling some distinctive content (if you can remember any!) is enough to find the new location (if one exists).

Wikipedia has this article - Internet Archive which I thought might provide a way of getting at information from no-longer-extant websites. At least, that seems to be the aim of the project.

Just a thought - I know the DigiTrad has at least one occasionally-updated mirror site here:- Yet Another Digital Tradition Page but I don't believe there is any equivalent for the Mudcat Cafe itself. Could there be? Should there be?

Is there any way to contact the administrators of the Cyber Hymnal website? If they needed money to keep the site up, why didn't they ask for donations? Is there some way to contact them to find out how to get them up and running again?

Thanks for the up date everybody. What do we have to do to get it back online, I use it weekly for our Sunday Services & it's sensational! It must not die & it will if we let it!

I'd still like to know what McGrath was looking at.

Anyhow, the disappearance of the CyberHymnal would be a huge blow to those of us who look for hymn texts and hymn-tune midis online. With over 7000 hymn pages as well as a huge amount of sound files (midis, nwc's) and biographical infopages on just about everybody whose name ever graced an English hymnal's index of authors and composers, it will be impossible to replace near-term and hard to do long-term. With its nearest competitor, the more liturgically bent Oremus Hymnal, in wiki-under-construction mode, oy vey.

My latest link at 6:43 seems to support Virginia Tam's theory.

The link I posted before that (at 6:34) has both lyrics and midi for the hymn.

Hello, Susan :)

If anyone's desperate, I have a copy of the score files (nwc), but they're from Feb 2004. (I only have the 'a' midis).

McGrath- Can you access anything on the site with your link. It just takes me to the same useless screen the rest of us have gotten so far.

I recognise that screen. Means the domain name owner has not kept up payments to the server I think.

There was a memorial page for my daughter from her frinds in the SCA after her funueral that disappeared and was replaced by that exact same screen. The person who set up the page evidently stopped paying for it.

I ran into the same thing a while ago. I did come across this link that seems to have an archived version just now. Is it any help?

When I went to the CyberHymnal (cyberhymnal.org) to try to access "In shady green pastures (God leads his dear children along)", this is what I got:

Pretty girl, I suppose, but not a pretty picture, especially the night before Christmas Eve. Anybody know what is going on there?
