jQuery Forum

my plugin was also deleted!?

whats up there?

Please help...

Anyone managing the Plug-ins side of things have an idea what's going on?

I can find all of them on google cache.

Have I done something wrong?

Now they are all gone

The plugins section has been a disaster as long as I've ever used it. The search has never worked, the release management tool is broken, and it is impossible to delete old uploads (which I tried to do once I realized it was a bad place to host files because they couldn't be managed).

Does anyone actively maintain this section of the web site? 

It's really a mess. It would probably be a service to the community to simply take it down, if it's not going to be maintained.

I do hope they will be re-integrated though.

A couple of mine have disappeared too:

It's not clear to me whether they restored an old database backup or what, but obviously many people have been affected. So it would be nice if someone involved in the web site maintenance could drop in here with some info.

Of course it's all community supported and jQuery is an awesome product of that community. I could never fault people who don't get paid for doing things, for not doing them. Unfortunately though that plugin site is still a primary stop for people looking for plugins so I think it should either have some basic level of maintenance or be removed.
