Skyehawke Down

Since a lot of people are replying to the last post (which really has nothing to do with downtime), I thought I should at least give us a place to officially panic and share news ( Read more... )

It's working for a few people but still down for others.

Such panic when an archive goes down for even a day.
But it says that we readers really do care.

Yes, their registration expired.

For a while, at least, they're the only folks who can claim the name, so it won't be stolen out from under them if they can re-register quickly.

So, does this mean that the site will be back or don't they want it and it is down for good?

i'll try to get a message to tienriu -- maybe a bunch of us can pitch in via paypal?

If it's an issue of funds, I am sure we get it together.

yeah -- i PM'd her, and basically said that i was pretty sure that if it's finance-related the harrydraco comm by itself could probably rumble up the funds not only to purchase 3 domain names for the next year (if skyehawke also owns .org and .net -- a lot of websites buy up every variation of their names) but to fund server costs for a bit as well. because judging from the reaction over there, people are pretty anxious to get it up, and would be willing to pitch in.

Can you let us know when and what you hear back from her? That would be great. Thanks for sending the email to TienRu.

Hi. You don't know me at all, but I'm an avid reader of fics on Skyehawke.com. The site is down (we've had people all over the world reporting in as it went down in different countries, which is kind of cool), and there's a bit of a freak-out going on in the HP fandom over it ( ... )

It's a perfect storm of errors!

Glad to know the outage isn't due to serious misfortune. Thank you for all you do to keep the site wonderful!
