FOCAL website down

Post by Stewart Gordon »

The last few times I've tried to access the FOCAL website, it's been down.
Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at focalcountdown.co.uk.

If you entered the right address, you can:

Try again later
Check your network connection
Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)
  • This already is one of my many instances of trying again later.
  • It would appear that my network connection is OK, given that I can access most other websites without trouble.
  • It would appear that Firefox has permission to access the web (if ever I had to give it permission), given that I can access most other websites without trouble.
I've tried to access it with and without 'www.' at the front, via http and https, with the same result.

Who's meant to be maintaining this these days?

That must be the new website that they’ve been working on.

Typing https://focalcountdown.com/ will also redirect but yeah you've probably noticed the main change of to .com. The social media pages have been updated with the .com address so should be easy enough for people to find it from there.

Yeah sorry about this folks the website domain has been a very silly goose recently. focalcountdown.com is the way to go on. Going to get it all up to date this weekend.

Until there's an account on there of what actually happened at Co:MK I've been telling everybody that Rob Foster only dropped 5 points during the whole day. Obviously this is a lie.
