We are having DNS issues, we should be back up tomorrow, after Wes changes the DNS nameservers to the correct location. Don't worry, the changes will definitely be worth the downtime, however it is unfortunate.

Hey, how about this is FIG, not a4f. If you need updates find them somewhere else. People don't go to the Microsoft site and ask about their Linux errors.

possible DNS just hasn't propogated to the new, non-working setting...was it down for you earlier, or no?

And just cause I don't post, doesn't mean I don't read topics here, i'm still informed etc, I don't see the harm in giving people updates, especially since I have allowed it without a problem on A4F.

I don't have anything at all against A4F. I think it's a good forum. I just don't know why its issues have to be discussed here.

theysayjump

11-11-2005 21:45:03

I don't see it as that big of a deal since they allow/allowed it when "we" were having DNS problems. Alot of our members use it and if there is somewhere to discuss it's problems, then I see no reason why it can't be discussed here.

bballp6699

11-11-2005 21:46:42

It's not a big deal. I just don't like it, and when has anyone ever cared what I think? Why should this be any different..
