      And it's another reason we so appreciate all our WWKC Members and our banner advertisers
      who help support Koiphen!
      When you get a chance, buy from a Koiphen vendor, join the Club, and keep our forum going!

      It has happened before. Typically it has been due to exceeding their bandwidth and have to either pay to keep it up or wait until next month for the limits to reset.

      It has been a few months since I was there. At that time, I was surprised at how few threads/posts there had been in the previous month. It looked like just a couple of users talking to each other. I'm wondering if it will come back, or if it "Bito the dust".

      It has pretty much seemed to be on its' deathbed for the last few years like NI, Koishack and so many others before it. I check about once a week looking for a new post here and there. Hopefully it will reappear.

      If not, although a lot of the info contained there is now outdated or obsolete, there are some classic gems there that IMO should be preserved.

      If they do not come back, maybe WWKC can buy the info from Brian and make a new WWKC section "KoiBito Archives" for our WWKC members?

      Just a thought

      Hopefully it will continue.

      I'm actually going to be supporting the forum again with a vendor space so stay tuned. I've had some pretty heated arguments on here but also have pretty thick skin and brush it off. Regardless of where you go it will be the same people arguing about the same old thing and seems everyone just keeps more to themselves now. We are all entitled to our own opinions and make us who we are really

      Not the first time in the past 15 years that Koi-Bito has gone off the air. Let's hope it is back later this week.

      Preserving History!

      I agree. However; if it is not coming back, would you support the idea of WWKC purchasing the site's data and making it all available for WWKC members to access and read only a "KoiBito Archives Forum"? Obviously, no one would have the ability to post, but would have the access to read only. History Preserved!

      As you know, I sold Koiphen to WWKC a decade or so ago for $1. I no longer am a mod, admin or a member of the BOD! But I am a WWKC Member!

      This decision would solely be made by the BOD of WWKC and I imagine that it would be dictated by the cost and the interest of the members!

      Please speak your thoughts and opinions folks!

      Ironic when you do a Google search for Koiphen this 2006 koi-Bito thread on the turmoil and imminent collapse of Koiphen usually is the second item listed.

      Is Koiphen and Koi bito competitors?

      Probably best described as friendly competition with simular services.
