The Historian's Archives

UPDATE: I just recently received an email from Homeschool Gold. Good news! They managed to get the website back up, and are even planning to add a forum to the website. Anyone who had a website up on Homeschool Gold, and who removed their Homeschool Gold button from their site due to its being hacked may now put the button back up. If you do not have the html code of the button saved anywhere, it is bound to be somewhere in your email box, from when you first received the code from Homeschool Gold.

Way to go, Homeschool Gold!

This morning, I received a sad email from the web administrator of HomeschoolGold.Net:

Our server was hacked last week, decimating all the sites there. You may have noticed that the button no longer works. While we were able to restore the sites from backups, we were forced to move to the only available hosting service, which unfortunately, does not allow topsites type sites, therefore homeschoolgold.net will be forced to shut down. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Homeschool Gold was just a little website were homeschoolers, who no doubt rely upon the vast troves of educational knowledge to be found on the Internet, could go to learn about other homeschoolers, or could go to websites and blogs with material to help them in their homeschooling programs. That such a site could be hacked only proves how much opposition the homeschool movement in this country is receiving.

I am going to miss the Homeschool Gold website; I hope that soon anther homeschool website like it will be created in its stead.
