Most of you are familiar with this address: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/, but XP tweaks are not there anymore.
It was OK this morning.
-
Might be a server issue? Don't really know.
Doug Knox has many of the same tweaks and fixes http://www.dougknox.com/
-
Domain has expired...a sad Day indeed.
-
I hope, they moved somewhere else, instead of shutting down. It was a great place.

Nothing on her blog. Maybe it is a mistake. (forgot to pay the bill?)

You sure, it's her blog? Looks kinda religious blog to me.
-
That's her...
-
It's back.
-
Thanks. I noticed it, too. Great!
-
I think i'll send a Donation.
Least i could do for all the uses i've gotten out of it.
-
I've actually never heard of it.... It looks pretty handy. I've even bookmarked it, and I rarely bookmark anything. ;)
-
Nice idea, patio....

That site saved a lot of butts...

I hadn't heard of this site either. So if taking it offline did anything, I'm sure it help spread the word about it.
Maybe I should take Computer Hope offline for a few days. ;)

Came across this topic when running a search query for:
https://www.startpage.com/do/dsearch?query=what+happened+to+dougknox.com
Unfortunately, Kelly's Korner is gone for good; it's now parked via some host (privacy.co.com), WHOIS@
https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=www.kellys-korner-xp.com
... Used to be very fond of these (& other!) Windows "Tips" web sites, over the years - many of us have grown up with them. It'll always be a great memory! ;-s
P.S.
Should anyone, perhaps, know what happened to Doug's web pages, please do let me (us!) know. Haven't seen any updates for years & everything is - pretty much - malfunctioning, including the Feedback page which doesn't work (on submit). I've tried to look for (the real) "Doug Knox" on Twitter and wherever, to no avail, meh.

Nope, you aren't missing anything, it's been gone for a number of years now. It's parked by some kind of advertisement website.
The script apparently checks for ad blockers- if you have them on you get a blank page. Otherwise it gives you pretty typical advertiser's parking page.
-
Just to add, based on web.archive.org- it was up February 2014, but was gone in March 2014, and was already a parking website.
Like when it went down related to the creation of this thread, the hosting probably expired and didn't get renewed.
