An absolute tragedy for the community/hobby if this incredible history and resource disappears forever. :( Wish there was some way to preserve it all. It's seriously priceless - all that information from the dawn of pin trading. Such a loss. :(

Pin collecting hasn't been the same without dizpins and when this site disappears, our pin history and amazing amounts of information go with it. :(

Okay, okay, okay.

I'm going to try to copy everything to a free hosting site. I've done the copy and I'm waiting on DNS to update.

Don't freak out if the site is a bit wonky. I can't test until the DNS updates and you guys may see the new one before I do.

Thank you :)
 
I'm so glad to read that there may be a solution to this. I've been using Dizpins as a reference site too, as Pinpics does have missing info in places. I was visiting it daily up until about a year ago, using the search engine to search all the pin releases etc. It would be a disaster if this information wasnt retained somewhere. Thank You!!
 
Thank you Britt!! As another old timer and one that goes back to the early days of Dizpins, I truly appreciate you finding a way to keep this valuable information!! All the best to you and Figgy!! Take care, *bjr

^^^^^ This ^^^^^^^^^

Thank you!!
 
Greetings everyone!

The dizpins migration should now be complete. I don't own the dizpins.com domain name, and I haven't heard any indication that the domain name itself might someday not get renewed, but I went ahead and put a back-up plan in place. You can reach the site either by http://www.dizpins.com or by http://dizpins.host56.com

Thank you all for your kind words, and I've passed them along as well. I'm glad we were able to find a way to preserve the data without unfair obligation to the various parties involved.

ttfn,
