Rat Chat??????????

[vevodap]

hope it is only temporarily, but I'm not able load Rat Chat page, anybody with the same trouble?

 

[SharpBits]

Yep, it's been down all day AFAIK. Maybe a rebuild in progress?

I've been able to get onto Rat Chat today, and I just tried again and it also worked. I wonder what's up

Maybe you guys could try the direct link http://www.swampratknifeworks.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

Let me know if it works or not.

 

[vevodap]

Didn't work yesterday
not working today

 

[Eric Isaacson]

I'm confused because I've been able to view and post over on Rat Chat both today and yesterday.

Can you get on the website, or is it just Rat Chat?

Try the domain name www.swamprat.com

I'll send the webguy a note also.

problem is only with Rat Chat
Everything else is working just fine

 

[SharpBits]

Nope, still can't get to the Chat page. The URL www.swamprat.com works but the forums are unavailable. Have they made recent changes in the DNS entries? It can take up to 72 hours for those to propagate.

Ditto here.....

Same thing here

I can't get to the main page or to the forums (using the direct link Eric posted). First noticed it last night and it's still the same now (1300 EDT)

Rat Chat Fell Flat and Thats That

OK, new info.

I can't get to the main page or to Rat Chat using swampratknifeworks.com, but I can get to both if I edit the URL to swamprat.com. I think SharpBits was right, it looks like a DNS problem.

Vevodap - try using these URLs and see if it helps

Doesn't work for me:
http://www.swampratknifeworks.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi or http://www.swampratknifeworks.com
http://www.swampratknives.com/

Works for me:
http://www.swamprat.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi and http://www.swamprat.com

Eric - can you get your webguy to look at it using both URLs and see what he finds? Tell him I've verified this with nslookup and it says swampratknifeworks.com is non-existant, but swamprat.com is fine.

 

[ajrand]

That link gets me to the front page of Rat Chat, but there is no content. Any attempt to access the strings falls flat.

 

[vevodap]

ajrand is right

Ok , hope I can live a while without RATS, mayby NOT
we'll see
