    Collapso.net disappeared last month and now I've just gone to look at daftdrop and that seems to be gone too. Does anyone know why? Is there any similar alternatives?

    That is a pity.. daftdrop was quite handy for seeing when a property was first listed more so than the drops IMO. Daft and Myhome both record prices changes now... but it seems that agents can opt out of them being shown, that or else they just re-list the ad again to hide drops.

    If anyone else is obsessive about when a property was first listed... You can get the file headers from daft images and see the original creation time/date.

    In saying that, I'm in Canada, so the message below may only appear for people outside Ireland?
    This domain has expired
    In line with ICANN's Expired Registration Recovery Policy, DNS resolution of this domain has been temporarily interrupted.
    If you are the registrant or an agent acting on behalf of the registrant, we advise you to please visit our billing system to renew the domain as your soonest convenience. DNS resolution will be restored as soon as the renewal is processed.

    Hey. http://www.DaftDrop.com has had a big architecture bump and is now back up and running smoothly. There were major capacity problems (and cost -- DaftDrop makes almost no money).

    UK version is at http://www.daftdrop.co.uk ...

    Oz version is at http://www.daftdropau.com ...

    Enjoy! Let me know if you'd like any features in particular...

    Datfdrop gone again from what I can see. Great website, always good for researching how long house are up and previous prices.

    The names are a bit outdated now (although holding on to the domains for the next crash, which won't be that long, would still be a good idea) when they're now usually used to track ridiculous increases.

    Used Collapso primarily to decide when to make the jump myself, probably went a few months too early but less than 6 months at that.

    As far as I can see, they're both still registered.

    DaftDrop will be back soon guys. Sorry.

    The data is still being collected, but the site is just down due to a problem and I've had no time to fix.

    Is there anything I could do to help with it? I miss the website and am a frequent visitor and user.

    Sorry all, there were other issues.

    Similar to daftdrop.com (but not as easy to use, if I do say so myself)...

    Back up. Yes, I simply have too much data and running out of memory. If anyone wants to provide access to a beefy server, I'd be very grateful!

    The alternative is to have a less-fast website (store less in memory)...which I think defeats the usefulness, and would require re-work (which I probably wouldn't be arsed doing...feels like going backwards).

    DaftDrop makes pennies and I cannot justify spending more than I already am on a bigger server.

    Sorry to bother you again, but is the site gone until further notice?
