newbuddhist.com outage?

Hey, was it just me or have there been problems with the site for the last few days? I haven't been able to connect at all. I get the "Looking up newbuddhist.com..." message for a while, then it'll come up and say the site is unavailable.

This is the first time I've been able to get on the forum since (I think) Tuesday. Considering the low number of new threads and posts, I don't think I'm the only one. Just wanted to post this while I can...

:eek:

Any known issues? Or perhaps it's simply a lesson in impermanence?

    Apologies for the downtime. There was an error in the DNS at our host; it should be corrected now.

    It'd take a LOT to knock this place offline for good without notice. I daresay most Buddhist sites don't have a full-time web developer and former web host administrator for owners. :p

    Did anyone say Impermanence ;)

    Seriously, it is bound to happen to any and all sites due to upgrades, provider outages or even something simple like DNS entries.

    I think this forum has a great track record and I for one am very thankful that it's here.

    So thank you for providing such a friendly and great online Sangha :thumbsup:

    Man you got that right, one second the forum is alive and well, the next it's gone with no trace and no way to find out what happened. :o

    I guess that's sort of how death is one second we are alive and breathing and the next poof... gone! :crazy:

    No one ever thought E-sangha would die ! And shock horror they did ! :lol:
    Of course they created the causes for it to happen with their authoritarian intolerance and so on and so on.

    This place has friendlier atmosphere much better. :)

    Totally agree. E-Sangha should been smashed into a wall 'till it bled to death :wtf:... friendly atmosphere *breathe Jellybean, breathe* :p. I'd hate it if this place closed down, but it would take a lot... we should have a back up forum if the case happens anyway :buck:

    See friend thats part of the negativity that killed that place, Negativity creates the causes for suffering. When they where interacting in such negative manners and not adhering to right speech they effectivly helped destroy themselves.

    ah, i am a traveler that ended up here via the e-sangha crash. eventually i got sick of waiting and thought, "well, what else is there?"

    and i agree. i'm not nearly as afraid to post stupid (but important to me!) questions, haha. i think it is the nature of all message boards to lean toward debate, but this place is a little more respectful when doing it... :D

    i really do love this site.
