nemini.org needs help
To let everyone know. NEMINI.org is down and will remain down for some time. The owner of the name has had some very bad news from the hosting company.
The server was hacked and all files plus all back up files have been deleted. As the owner of the NEMINI name can be extremely tempernetal he has stated that NEMINI will NOT return.
At any rate there is a Group on Facebook called "NEMINI Spare Tire" that some members have resorted to temporarily as a place to keep up some communications. There is more explanation there of what has happened.
Please feel free to join us over there while things are worked out.
Best regards
P.S. I must say the hosting company needs to be shut down it they are telling the truth about what happened. It is unconscionable for them to have let such a thing happen.

I just got word via ravworld that things are very seriously down and out on NEMINI. 
I can't go into more details because I know very little but just heard from Steve this morning via email.
For those who are on Facebook, you'll be able to find out more. I had just quit Facebook so now may be seduced into going back to the dark side. Go to, as Schatzy posted, NEMINI Spare Tire on there.
From what little I know this has nothing to do with anyone on NEMINI's side...in other words it seems to have been the servers that may have been seriously damaged.
More news should come this way soon. Very sad, it was a great site and very useful to a "smaller" group - which actually includes many people.
P.S. Well, it seems Schatzy and I were posting at the same time.

Vintage Festival Info is over here. Of course not as much as at NEMINI.org but the main info needed is here.

As I mentioned to everyone this past weekend at Lime Rock... I'm available to help out with getting NEMINI back online. I've got the server space available, and am willing to help out with whatever design/admin work that is needed. Please don't hesitate to contact me for assistance.
Does anyone know if it will be another week or another Month? I cant imagine all the work they must have to put into this.
We should take a Collection for everyone who is working on it as I am sure it is taking up many days of there free time

We have a Beta site up and running with the admins and mods using it as well as a few beta testers.
It will probably be at least another week before the site goes live. I will try and keep you updated here.
Also, we will have a donation block just like we did on the old site and that is the best way to show your support, as right now fees are being paid out of pocket.

I know this was posted a while ago, but I wanted to give you an answer.

Nancy and Rob are still working on getting that setup.
Just thought we could help out sooner. Maybe a Starbucks gift certificate for those late nights!
Okay So i registered this morning, made a post and looked around the site for about 30 minutes. Then this afternoon i went back and the site is not available. not any part of it. Have been trying since 3 pm EST and it is now 4 pm PST
hopefully they can get teh bugs worked out sooner rather than later.
