University of Hull Royal genealogy pages blocked?

[J H Garner]

I tried to access the University of Hull royal genealogy pages yesterday. Suddenly, my web browsers are blocking/being blocked from all access to the pages, both in Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 and in my preferred browser Safari 5.1.7.

The Hull royal genealogy pages are the ONLY ones with these access issues. Other sites I often visit are working normally.

I do not believe I am using proxy servers in Safari, and not being able to access with Internet Explorer sort of defeats that as an answer to the problem.

I sent an e-mail to the Hull help desk and received a reply asking me to resend the e-mail with a 'University user i.d'

I know Britain has has a number of budgetary crises in recent years, and I saw that Hull drastically increased their tuition for the 2012/13 academic year. Are the royal genealogy pages created by Brian Tompsett now restricted access? Has anyone else encountered this?

Thanks

JG

It looks as if the server is down. It doesn't even respond to a ping.

The new location is http://www.hull.ac.uk/php/cssbct/genealogy/royal/ The pages include an apology for the relocation, which it says was caused by "management actions beyond my control".

That's an old location, copyrighted up to 2005. The main site has been
locked for years.

I miss the royal hull website. Why take something down that was so much fun and so informative. There are so many ugly places on the web why not keep a beautiful one up.

I live in California and there is only one copy of Tompsett book in the state. San Diego. Nice.
How about University of Hull apply for an arts grant. So the public can enjoy learning about English History.

Genealogics is a good web site for looking at royal genealogies.

I can't access them either using any browser. I tried the "new" link below but it isn't working either. Hope it's back up soon.

The University of Hull shut it down! Here is a tribute to his work:
