Has anyone been granted full access yet

[Chris82]

It could have auto-renewed, I'd be surprised if there was any manual intervention required. The site is hosted via Kualo Limited in London. If he's paying for web hosting then his payment details will be stored no doubt and it just rolls over and takes payment.

Also checked the SSL cert for the site and that expires 2nd Dec 2025 so might as well see if that gets renewed as well.

All this hosting and ssl stuff is way over my head. Does the ssl require manual input or auto renews as well?

I’m guessing the website will just shut down one day?

Well, if you consider the 5 years of the domain, then it will or should stay till 2030, but if the hosting finishes before the domain then the website might go down sooner.

Hi, when it was identified that the domain was expiring, one of the other moderators managed to contact the host. They initially wouldn’t discuss the account as the credentials weren’t known, but they did inform us that it was on auto-renew. At that point it was just a waiting game to see if it went through, which luckily it did.
Unfortunately there has still been no contact from Doc, on here or via personal messages.
I appreciate any frustrations, but at this point in time there is no way forward enabling/upgrading accounts. It could be that the best option is to freeze the upgrade post, and add a statement so people know the forums position.

[Marcelorider]

I’m no expert but I would actually say it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do that. Since a lot of people is joining with the expectation to be helped and probably contribute, but all are locked to this chat. If you do have the reach to discuss with the other mods, in my perspective looks like it would be a good option.

[Chris82]

Thanks for the update and yes I guess maybe that is an idea that should be discuss with the other mods.

I truly hope that doc is ok and his situation whatever it may be improves so that he can return and sort the situation on here as well.

So it looks like it’s a restricted forum for a lot of us for possibly an undefined length of time.

Does anyone know or is part of any other forums like this for the caddy community?

Yes it’s frustrating and probably not going to change!
So best to move on, did you find any other caddy forums ?

I can't remember where I saw it but someone said he's still active on twitter (X) but that isn't true. His last post was 2018 on there.

God knows what's happened to him but it can't be good.

[CannyCaddyThatLike]

It's a shame that so much valuable information and contacts are locked away. Maybe the content should be duplicated or a new forum setup if the admin is AWOL.

[Chris82]

This is a good shout.

I wonder if it’s something that is possible for admin to suggest and try to do. Then everyone joins that one.

I do truly hope the guy is ok.

I haven’t look, wouldn’t know a good one from a bad one. This was my first port of call after searching for one.

Must be people on here that are part of another one.

In my own web-site hosting experience that'd be how things work. I've run sites well enough and not had to touch them for yonks. Pay the hosting and keep the domain current and leave it be.

If the domaiin is not renewed in Dec 2025 that could be where the tears start.

I see on Docs profile that he was on here last night at 9pm. (Oct 30th)

Anyone seen a change to their access yet? If he’s been on?

If he has been on and no one has been upgraded that’s worse and not a great sign that it will change.

The list is big now I’d people waiting to be upgraded so guess it wouldn’t be all at once. But hopefully some have been.

I haven’t been.
