Is The Offshore Wire still around or am I blocked?

**bigboydan** · 10-25-05, 12:02 PM

John, due to the hurricane the site is down. now you know as much as i do about TOW being down.

**SBR_John** · 10-25-05, 12:10 PM

hurricane? No, I was born at night but it wasn't last night. Have you ever seen a hosting facility? They are made to withstand almost anything.

**bigboydan** · 10-25-05, 12:24 PM

john, i told you what rob told me days ago thats all i know.

**JoshW** · 10-25-05, 12:39 PM

Down for me too.

I know even with backup generators and otherwise hosting can go down with hurricane related issues.

Hoping Roberto is ok and gets his site up as quickly as possible.

In the future I just can't see hosting sites in FL or the Gulf in general. I know people like to keep them local to them, but less disaster prone areas might become essential. I have a server in Dallas, on most disaster related projections is pretty safe area and has ton of connectivity.

**Illusion** · 10-25-05, 12:51 PM

I tried getting on last night and couldn't get on. Still down today. Hope all is well with Rob.

**raiders72001** · 10-25-05, 12:53 PM

John- It's not only the hurricane but you are probably blocked too.

**SBR_John** · 10-25-05, 01:16 PM

LOL Raiders! I did express my opinion on him promoting the 2nd tier books but I dont think he would go so far as to block me.

He is probably changing hosts meaning he has taken the files off of one server and put them on another. Now he is waiting for them to propagate the internet. That would be my guess.

**why** · 10-25-05, 01:19 PM

hope all is ok for them.

**jay88** · 10-25-05, 01:28 PM

I can't see it either from Costa Rica.
Weird that the hosting service goes down with the hurricane.

**steelerfan** · 10-25-05, 01:48 PM

been down for me too for a couple days. not good!

**onlooker** · 10-25-05, 04:46 PM

Thats the only thing Rob told us, it would probably be down due to the Cane going thru Florida. Only thing we can pass on for now. If we hear more, we will let you all know.

**Heysosamakeamove** · 10-25-05, 04:48 PM

TOW aka Wilma

**Bill Dozer** · 10-25-05, 05:02 PM

OasisCasino is still off-line due to the hurricane.

**onlooker** · 10-25-05, 05:06 PM

Just read that areas of Florida could be without power for a few weeks.

that don't sound good

**Dave** · 10-25-05, 05:47 PM

I just got a message from Roberto, they should have the site back online soon, but for now they have set up a temporary URL called www.WilmaSteppedOnMyTow.com

**TOW** · 10-25-05, 06:20 PM

Hurricane Wilma severly damaged the hosting company we use, which is located in Ft. Lauderdale.

We are currently working on several alternatives.

I don't expect the site to be back up before 24/48 hours.

Will keep you guys posted.

**jjgold** · 10-25-05, 06:21 PM

Thanks Bobby

He better have all the "HOTD's" ready when TOW goes live again.

**Illusion** · 10-26-05, 02:24 AM

That is the dumbest thread ever. Just more spam. We all like looking at females, but when you have to start a daily thread and post a link in another thread (to the same thread)....well it's dumb. Other than his spam, TOW is awesome.

If you want you can host it with us while you find somewhere else to host it.
Shoot me an email at Jay@[edit]or a PM?[edit]. By the time the domain is redirected the site will be up and running again.
