wkisting Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Hi guys, Can anyone else get on the B&B website? I tried earlier, and now, several hours later, I'm still getting a message that says the site doesn't exist. I'm sure I'm typing the URL correctly, as I'm using the same old bookmark and I've also tried typing it in separately a few different ways, for different pages. Perhaps the Everglades Challenge has earned Graham so much celebrity his site has now been crashed by waves of would-be Core Sound builders, all descending on his site simultaneously to order plans? Anyway, just wondering if it's something gone awry with my computer, or if the site really has vanished. http://www.bandbyachtdesigns.com/ Quote
john_manchester Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 It's toast for me too. Does it work for Joe? Quote
Designer Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I can't get on the website either but I am hoping that it is a good thing. We have not been able to get into it for a month now and maybe our constant badgering has finally gotten them to work on the problem. Quote
Guest Oyster Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I was on it the end of last week, sending the link to several other folks on the Princess. Quote
Tom Lathrop Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I got on yesterday but now. Graham's server (pinelink) is having the problem. Quote
Steve Day Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I, too, was not able to get onto Graham's site. Hope he gets Pinelink moving to correct their problem. Steve Quote
edt Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I too was able to reach the site over the weekend and possibily on Monday. Today I just get a pinklink.org filler page... Ed Quote
sandy claws Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 :cry: B&B, Where are you? :?: Site is still not up! Quote
edt Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Graham, Maybe you should tell pinelink that they have hacked your site and if they donot unhack it quickly you will phone the FBI. It worked for this town manager: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/03/24/tuttle_centos/ Just kidding... You have _not_ been hacked just reset. To me it looks like Pinklink needs to restore the web server. I wonder if they have a backup? Ed Quote
edt Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Hi, A more constructive idea. Go to the reset B&B page, click on the Questions/Comments link and sent a polite message asking them to restore the B & B page. Be sure to use a real email address so they can verify that many people are seeing the problem. Comments? Ed Tomlinson Quote
wkisting Posted March 26, 2006 Author Posted March 26, 2006 edt, That article you linked to was very funny... I'm still laughing as I type this. I especially liked the journalist's sarcasm at the end of the piece: Er, so despite the fact that CentOS went out of its way to figure out the problem for Tuttle, Taylor still places the blame on CentOS for not fixing the problem - that it didn't create - sooner. In addition, Taylor didn't really start off the whole process on the best foot despite Tuttle being a town "Where People Grow - Friendly!" Grow friendly, threaten to bring in the FBI at the drop of a hat - what's the difference? Man, would you feel like an idiot after that or what? Of course, from the sound of it, the City Manager in question still doesn't get that he was completely wrong about the matter. Ah, ignorance--or computer illiteracy--is bliss. Quote
edt Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 If was not for the fact that CentOS got good press from this idiotic situation I would be temped advise them to sue for defamation... It might just get the city manager to learn enough to understand just how stupid he was. I bet the city has an IT department - they are probably fuming. The manager should have contacted them first.
