What's up with rs.org?

[amanuensis1]

Uh-oh.

http://restrictedsection.org

Tell me that's just, I dunno, one of those end-of-the-month glitches? Right?

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Please say it isn't so.

Ouch. That looks rather ominous, doesn't it? *bites nails*

[kissed-by-fate.livejournal.com]

You must not get there often... it's been down for about 4 days now... mods are working on the problem.

Doesn't look good for our heroes at this point. :(

[askani.livejournal.com]

it says expired domain for me. maybe that is the problem?

*runs around like Henny Penny* TEH SKAI IZ FALLIN'!

Conclusion: We don't just need a whole fandom journaling site; we need a whole 'nother fandom Internet. Maybe even a whole 'nother fandom planet. What's Mars like this time of year?

Unless of course, I am paranoid, per usual...

PS

P.S.: Hope you don't mind I friended you. :)

Oh shit. Expired domain + a page of sponsored listings = it looks like someone else snatched it up.

[furiosity.livejournal.com]

That's a domain hijack. Unless they're willing to cough up big money, they probably can't get it back. :\

[spare-change.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's the end of an era! And it feels like just yesterday when it first opened up. :(

[coffee-n-cocoa.livejournal.com]

And if it's a domain hijack, according to someone else on my flist .net, .com, .biz, and .info are all taken, already.

Pffft.

[kokopoko.livejournal.com]

It's not a domain hijack. They forgot to renew the domain, I have no idea why as the registrar sends out at least 10 emails, and someone else legally bought the domain.

[persephone-blue.livejournal.com]

No way. Don't believe it, nuh-uh, no how.

I shall be in denial FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK OR UNTIL IT IS FIXED.

[featherofeeling.livejournal.com]

Erp. Thanks for posting about this and I'll be checking back here in the comments for updates. :/

One wonders how Microsoft stops domain name hijacking. When will they create a domain name registration system that allows someone to automatically maintain their ownership.,

[scarah2.livejournal.com]

Eeeek!

[slashpervert.livejournal.com]

I actually gave up even archiving there since they never updated the chapters I sent. So there seems to have been a problem in that area as well.

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

I'm assuming they don't have an LJ or IJ to inform people about what's going on. That might be an idea, yeah?

Gosh, I haven't been there in forever. I still haven't recovered from PSA going down the first time. :(

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

I saw that the other night and got goggle-eyed!

I did wonder if perhaps they had switched domains/servers, and I just hadn't heard about it, but ack, this doesn't look good.

I don't know...that sight practically converted me into a smutty HP fangirl XD so I'd be pretty damn sad if it went under. Hopefully it is a glitch and nothing more.

Everything will be ok

I've been in touch with the mods and there was a Paypal snafu. They are doing everything they can to get it back up as soon as humanly possible but they have been stymied by non-response from the companies involved.

[volde-loserface.livejournal.com]

Has anyone heard back from the registrar people? They haven't responded to my email and I miss the RS.org :)

[twigged.livejournal.com]

NOOOO! D:

[veryshortlist.livejournal.com]

Oh hell no.

Do you know what's up with pornish, btw? Do I have to be a member to read certain locked posts? They're bookmarked, but I can't see them. Can I join again?

[kissed-by-fate.livejournal.com]

Will most likely be up in four hours or so, sayeth the Modly Ones.

Same Bat time, same bat channel.

[fly-chickadee.livejournal.com]

Hooray!
Restricted Section is back up. Thank goodness it was only a glitch.
All is well with the world. :P ♥
