Main site downtime
-
Knightmare.com redirects, but none of the other Knightmare links do though. I got here through the putting in the talkknightmare address, which is stored in my browser memory. I first tried knightmare.clara.net which of course directed me to the main (down) site. Just a thought though couldn't part of the main site (i.e. the main page and series guides) be uploaded (temporarily) to a free host? Or would that be too much trouble. Could someone else do it voluntary just while V21 isn't working and then delete it when it's working again i.e. someone opening a temporary account. Just a thought and idea though.

I'm probably being over-careful here, but the Forum's FAQ is on the V21 server (and therefore unreachable at present) , and there's been a number of newbies joining the board today. Even if you can't mirror the rest of the site, Illusion, it might be a good idea to repost the FAQ on a new server so they've got the guidelines to hand. (Especially as the main site is redirecting to here right now, which is likely to attract the attention of a lot of potential new users.)
-
Oh dear, that is tiresome. I suppose the only small shred of comfort is the fact it might mean a few more people joining here after getting the direct link.

Good to know, I'm making a Knightmare web page as a school job and I spent half an hour trying to get to the page  ::)

Ouch.
I have to admit that I too tried it for a bit thinking it was my evil browser messing up, as per usual. Even tried a system reboot to try fixing it. But just for once, neither AOL or Windows ME was to blame for something.

Guys, if you need some temporary hosting (until yours is back), let me know.

Well the hosting provider reckons they can get things back up by the end of the month, and I'm prepared to wait and see. If it doesn't materialise I will shell out a bit for some new hosting elsewhere.
Thanks to people who offered webspace etc, but the main issue and cost is bandwidth. This site seems to take up a lot of it as it gets bigger and more people visit. This forum itself is over 120MB and has eaten 2GB of bandwidth in the last 2 weeks. The main site is nearly 200MB.

Hmm. Unless you got yourself 3 other IP addresses to avoid suspicion, you could try angeltowns.com. Best I've seen (and I've tried plenty). 50MB webspace, infinite bandwidth (that's nice of them), just log in every 90 days so it doesn't disappear.
It's also free. One of these overlooked ones. I've still yet to find a catch. Maybe there's been secret underground deals to get bandwidth, or something.

Regarding the sponsorship issue:
I believe the site being down may have caused problems: for despite the whole company policy explanation I was given, there was never any chance it could be wavered with my promise of advertising not living up. I've updated further letters now though; aware that there are difficulties with the site, and so hopefully the integrity will not be judged on that. Cringe at the timing though.

Has anyone come to the forum through Knightmare.com lately? I like what it says there!
-
Hehe, I hadn't seen that. It's rather amusing, I have to say.

Thanks for that. Had a quick look, but they only take registations for new accounts during the first 5 days of each month, and the the maximum file size is 900k. I'd imagine the site will be back up and running before I can set up an angeltowns account. Still, quite a good offer.

I noticed that nobody has done anything to remove the forum FAQ from the v21 server. You have added the page if anybody goes to www.knightmare.com (by putting it on the talkknightmare host, judging from the address it redirects to), so surely the forum FAQ can be put on the talkknightmare host (or do the same thing that you did to create the page mentioned above).
Ah well nothing drastic  ;D
