It says their domain has been suspended?  :confused

If anyone hears from Doc tell him I have enough space to host it if he needs it.

I never lie. (except then)

Wow! That's pretty crazy. :eek  That site is way too busy to get the plug pulled on it.  Hopefully it's just a minor glitch.

BTW, Jeff was on here earlier today, but I wasn't aware of any problem.

Doug's check bounced and they pulled the plug!!!  :D  :D

Don't know how may computer geeks will care about this, but those that love irony may enjoy the story.

There is a worm that was launched around christmas that is infecting php based website.  Ours of course is php based.  So without warning, on friday night before a holiday weekend, my server takes me offline.  Now not only was MWBP down, but several other local business websites that I run came down too.  I finally get ahold of some high school drop out sitting at the help center on friday night and here is our converstion:

Me:  Why is my site down
Him: you have code that allows the worm, you're suspended until you fix the code.

Me:  Okay, I know the fix, just let me in so I can change the code;

him: as soon as you change the code you can get back in

me:  the code I need to change is on the server,if you don't let me back in, I can't change the code.

him:  okay, as soon as you have the code changed I'll let you back in.

Me:  can't change the code without getting to the code, which is on the server you won't let me into.

him:  okay, just change the code and I'll let you back in.

me:  AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

This went on from friday night until monday morning for hours at a time!!!!!!

Anyway, long story short, we're back up and running, bug free, and in the process of moving to a server that doesn't have their head up their collective asses!!!!!

Gotta love that Tech support/Customer Service :laugh  :laugh   Most of the time it's just a kid/retired old lady/foreigner reading a script :rolleyes   Try and tell them to jump ahead a few pages in their script and it confuses the hell outta them and makes it worse.  I NEVER call tech support anymore.  If I have a problem on a remote server, I just troubleshoot it myself and then call my sales rep and let him know what the solution is.  Bam....get's back up within a few minutes :good
