[DECtalk] It works, here's the actual E-mail

[Blake Roberts]

The Flame of Hope  is currently down because the person who hosts  Snoopi's
web site did not pay Internet bill. Thus the server hosting Snoopi's site is
currently unavailable. I anticipate that The Flame of Hope will be back
soon. Snoopi's web host had anticipated having everything working again by
today. Apparently the server is not back online yet.

A bunch of us in Discord (a chat client for Gamers, kinda like Skype) have
noticed that Snoopi Botton's website (theflameofhope.co) is not loading for
us.

 

This highlighted our concerns that the DECtalk community is built on top on
websites that aren't being maintained, including but not limited to:

*	https://msu.edu/
*	https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1323522
*	https://www.reddit.com/r/DecTalk/
*	http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2859772

 

I've set up my own website to counteract this, at
(https://talk.moustacheminer.com/).

 

I hope I can bring DECtalk back to life with an online web application and
an easy to search library. (sorry about jQuery)

 

This project is built for people who are interested in DECtalk, like the
Moonbase Alpha community, so is currently not friendly to screenreaders. It
is also done in my spare time as a 16 year old going through exams

 

If anyone has any suggestions, like to add features or add songs to my
database, just pop an email back through (somehow, I don't know how these
mailing groups work)

Sidenote:

 

This is just a cool project scraped together using node.js, a "legitimate"
Windows 7 installation and a piece of software downloaded from
theflameofhope.co before it went down. (isn't all of the software around
DECtalk "legitimate"?)

 

If there are any issues, or if you want to contribute code, please go to the
