ASPToday.com
I see that the site is being moved to another server. What has being going on with ASPToday for the last couple of months? One day the site is there, the next it's not... And the content hasn't been updated since mid-March.
On top of that, one of the articles I wrote for ASPToday was awaiting publication (supposedly in mid-April) but I have heard nothing from the editors stating that publication has been delayed, etc & all attempts to contact them have failed.
Could someone from Wrox or ASPToday please respond?
Thanks,
Mark Hughes.

I think a lot of people would like to know what's happened to ASPToday and CSharpToday - especially those that have paid for an annual subscription.
They were great resources and worth paying for, but not telling us what's going on doesn't do much for the image of subscription services on the 'Net.

Well I got my subscription back a couple of months ago.
And I guess that the content was not updated, and the sites have now disappeared, because wrox went bankrupt. QED.

Responding on behalf of Wiley and Wrox, we did not purchase asptoday.com or csharptoday.com along with the Wrox name, books, wrox.com, p2p.wrox.com, and the other web sites we did purchase.
So, no one at the new Wrox can comment on what the new owner of those sites might have planned for them, or even if there is a new owner.
If there is someone out there who does know definitively what will happen with these sites, we'd welcome an answer here.
I apologize for the confusion created by this.

I have a feeling, though I am not 100% sure on this, that Apress now own the ASPToday and C#Today sites, along with the other Wrox books that Wiley didn't acquire. But don't take my word for it just yet - the whois information for asptoday.com and csharptoday.com still shows Wrox Press, Chicago as the owner of both domains, even though Wrox no longer exists in that form.

This is what I am sure. I already confirm with both party(APress and Wiley)
Apress bought ASPToday, the site is up. You can get all the infor u need in ASPToday site now.
About CSharpToday site, this is what I got from Apress
"No, Apress did not purchase C# Today. I'm afraid I don't
know what happened to that site. The liquidators informed
me that they sold it to Wiley, although I've been unable
to get any direct confirmation of that from Wiley."
But Wiley (jminatel) he deny that Wiley bought the CsharpToday web site.
This is what happened now, if u paid for ASPToday site then you are lucky. If u paid for CSharpToday site then its bad luck to you. You need to hope one of buyer will buy csharptoday site or hopely someone else will buy it.
Good luck to you all.
