Is XOC dead, or just temporarily down?

 

[Bueller44]

Not sure, tried a couiple of times today and yesterday, but it looks like it is down. Probably just temp.

 

[S_e_X-Terra]

Maybe they are jealous of our sites' new format and they are updating theirs.

I hope so, I hate the software they use over there.

 

[miles]

its still down...I just tried.

Just got done talking to Alpine and it seems their hard drive crashed. It also seems the site hasn't been backed up for awhile. I hope they are able to recover, because it would be a shame to lose all that valuable information.

Wow, in todays day and age, hard drive crashes should not take down a server or site. Is it privately hosted in someones basement or at a real hosting company? If it's in some hosting company's data center, I would be looking for a new host.

There is no reason for a server to crash these days. Maintenance or loosing a main backbone are the only reasons for a site to be down. Between SAN's (or at least RAID) drives and clustered virtual servers with fail-over...server hardware should never be an excuse.

 

[PonyBoy]

No idea Jason. I didn't even know about the crash until Alpine IMed me.

 

[Muzikman]

I am just shocked that such a large forum that has been around such a long time would have these types of problems.

Didn't something similar happen to them a year and half ago or so? I just remember a really long down time not long after I joined.

 

[hattrik21]

I can't say I miss it to be honest since I spend more time here anyways.

 

[lostboy]

yeah, once I found this site I have never went back to xoc

me too :cheers:

 

[ProjectX]

Yeah, once I found this site I pretty much stopped going over there. I check it out maybe once or twice a week to see if anything is new but for the most part I hang around here and one other site.

 

[Alpine Spirit]

Something to do with dream host... thats all I really know besides a hard drive failure.

 

[ProjectX]

well,best of luck getting things back on track.

 

[Lyrex]

I am a member of a forum board for Intrepid owners too and its been down for about the same amount of time. Hmmmmm..........

XOC has to be moved to a different forum software as well... Search blows ass on that site This is a good opportunity to start fresh
