Just wondering what's going on. Has the diyaudio.com domain been hijacked? I have to use www.diyvideo.com to read the board today.
www.diyaudio.com NOT reachable!!!
Hall,
I don't know what is going on here but thanks to my message on the AudioAsylum I got back here.🙂

Hi folks, quiet round here🙂
Thanks for the link on the Chip Amp board, Elso, I never even thought about using DIY Video.
Has anyone spoken to those in Authority yet?

Unless it's those secret MIB types working behind the scenes who realized the only way to stop Fred posting was to crash the board😀 
www.diyaudio.com not working
Hi All,
I got the new link ( www.diyvideo.com ) from Mirlo on the AudioAsylum. Seems we have to spread the news or it will remain very quiet over here.
I have absuletely no idea what is going on.

Has anybody emailed the moderators yet? V. annoying 'til the diyvideo link was found. Is this a global problem or just Europe?

Is this a global problem or just Europe?Paul
I have emailed Dice45, Dave ( planet 10) and Jason, but I'm assuming they must already know, as the board has been down for about 24 hours now
I have also posted a note on Headwize , and will post on Madisound as well...

pinkmouse,
thanxalot for mailing me the diyVideo link.
I will tell the other moderators.
All,
futile to discuss what caused the mess, only fact we know is that diyAudio is down since more than 24 hours.
I have tried to reach the siteowner. No success so far.
Brett,
Fred's existence harassing you so much? 🙂

Bernhard,
Get a sense of humour. I like Fred.
It's called <b>irony</b>, mixed with a bit of sarcasm.

Our communication is dominated by body language, 80%, so the communications scientists say. The remaining 20% are divided into 3/4 how we say something and only 1/4 of content, of what we say. Makes a sad 5% in total for content.
Email and forum communication is restricted to the 20% but we all, including me, are usually not permanently aware this is the case: makes the whole show even more dangerous.

That's where smilies can help 😀
Uhm, me humour? no way.

Bernhard,
Keep the rants to yourself. You haven't told me anything I don't already know. Somehow I bet Fred knew I was taking the ****, and who was on the receiving end.
As for the emoti-gifs, I have yet to see a single instance where they add anything significant to communication. Haven't I stated this clearly enough before?

Whatever the problem is, I'll bet it's Fred's fault.
He used... sarcasm. He knew all the tricks, dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes and... satire. He was vicious. .

DNS problems
The current www.diyaudio.com problem seems to have actually started sporadically some 2 or 3 days ago. This points to a mistake -- either accidental or a highjacking -- with the download of information from ICANN to the root DNS servers. As the caches of everyone's ISPs was refreshed diyaudio.com started to point at sitepoint.com (big internet advertising site).
Please pass on to everyone you know the alternate address .

DNS
For info,
Here the problem started on 1st November at around 4.00 AM
(GMT +2).
All of a sudden I got a blank page iso the forums' homepage.
After some e-mail between Ken Lochridge and myself (Ken thanks again) I got back in but that lasted only for about ten minutes.
We did some pinging and since I first got some timeouts from the IP address I realised my firewall was the culpritt.
After that was bypassed I did get replies but no name resolution.
Ken and myself came to the conclusion that it must be a European DNS server causing the problem.
Hours later I tried again to no avail and Ken reported he now had no access to the forum either.
Now let's just hope the mailservers can take the traffic.
Thought I'd let you know.
In the meantime I hope we can keep the post civilized please??
Cheers,😉

I think we have a pretty good picture of how the forum looked in first days of activity (when Jason and Grey were mostly around)😉
Domain Problems?
For me it feels like the site is hijacked and we are drifting away off course.
