We (Voxel dot Net) are that hosting company. We used to have facilities at
MFN/AboveNet, which shut down their colo in NYC after going bankrupt. I
contacted someone (might have been Wensong) advising him that the site
would have to be moved imminently (to the Equinix facility across the river,
in Newark).
Admittedly, we were rather disorganized and slow in making a new server
available to the project, but we did. A lot of things at Voxel were quite
chaotic and got left hanging at this time. I'm not sure who (in addition to
myself) you were dealing with at Voxel, but there have also been some staff
changes at Voxel. I made the new server details available but did not hear
back from anybody. We've been at Equinix for over a year, so it has
definitely been a while ;-)
The offer for a free server and bandwidth is still on the table if you guys
want to take us up on it. I can also look for LVS backups, but quite frankly
I doubt I'll be able to dig anything up since it's been so long.
We might even be able to arrange a cluster. I really think the site needs to
run on one - for obvious reasons.
Keep up the great work. We're running some really high profile clients (like
Porsche, LiveJournal and kuro5hin) on LVS and it has been rock solid.
