Due to unexplained issues with some browsers on hosts connecting via
some ISPs, some users have been finding this site blocked with (unsubstantiated)
claims that the site contains links to malware. Since most of the site has not
been updated since 2003, that has, as far as we know, never been the case. However,
to improve uptime and bandwidth, the site has been replicated to a new server, which
may be its permanent home (unless the club choose to take over maintenance and move
to its own site). Please update links and bookmarks to
The new NPC archive site. Thanks.
