problems with the site

[Gunload Master]

We should be fully up and running now everyone. Here's the low-down.
Our server that holds all the information is and was always running perfect. But there's another server that actually holds our name (gunloads.com) This is basically the DNS (Domain Name Server). That server holds the name and helps populate the name around the World Wide Web. The DNS server makes it so when you type in gunloads.com it points it to the server that is hosting the site.

Anywho, the DNS server crapped out and reverted everything back to default. So I had to go in and change the settings back to where they should have been, but even after that happens it takes time to populate the name around the web so everyone can access it. That's why some people could access it and some could not. All that can be done is to cuss out the DNS server operators and go about it as normal. Sorry for the downtime everyone.. It sure wasnt just Ken who had the headache the past few days.....

Well, thanks to all of you who had to jump into the breech on this one (and every other time, too). There have been problems all over the web, with DNS operators scrambling to patch against this latest vulnerability.

Or, you guys could just be muckin' with us so we don't take you for granted. I could go either way.

I'm glad the site is up and running.
A big Thank You for all you folks that keep up with the BS.

We are still here and will continue to be Ken. They haven't made anything yet that can't be broken. Gianni

Um, How'd you get here? According to Ken you were the one guy being kept out intentionally.

Glad its up and running good again.

Our MAH board went tits up real bad with the EZ board "hack" so I'm always nervous in situations like this.

I know this isn't that ezboard s***e or puku or whatever that crap is called now, but down time still makes me nervy.

However wonderful computers are I still think its a fundamentally fragile and flawed way of working, if something needs more than two people to understand it its not good.

Also if it keeps needing fixes then it seems broke to me.

Anyone ever read Dava Sobels book Longitude?

I got so sick of the re-directs I shut off the computer. if I ever see powweb again it will certainly be too soon.

[Murphy]

Ken,

It's great to see you back. And yes...if I NEVER see POWWEB again...it'll be too damn soon. I even took the desperation route and changed my DNS settings to access the site. A rather bold move as I'm not that literate with computer settings.

Catch ya' in chat soon!

It's good to see all the Ol' faces again. Glad it wasn't permanent; I woulda been in the nuthouse by now.

Good work to all those who work it out so we could meet again, here.

John.

I just got back into town and the first thing I did was check this site. I could'nt get on for 2 days last week and it was almost traumatic for me. I'm glad we are back!

[sundog]

Glad you're back! Feeling a little better after our fix, are we?

[USARO4]

It was just what the doctor ordered, I visit a few other sites but the people here truly seem like friends even though I've never met one of you in person.
