datablocks .... dead ?

[ISAfxp]

http://www.datablocks.net/
All user pages & even the homepages redicts to a blank page with :
"HEY WAZUUP!?! I'VE MOVED TO A FASTER SERVER HERE!!! "
(link to clickheretofind-crap) and some pop-ups ... is datablocks also already dead ? :(

[AlabamaMan]

Look like the server has been hacked

[Unknownguy]

No I read a few days ago on their board they just got some new server that they were planing on moving the site over to.

[username]

why is it taking so long?
There must be something wrong here..

[username]

What the.. what the.. what the..
Datablocks has been changed to NEET hosting, and my site is totally gone!!!!!!!!!

[fatman]

There goes another free web host. :(

[sparkfan12]

I would like to thank the owners of datablocks for letting all their users know about this. I never even knew about this change until it happened.

[keith]

wonder what will come of netcabins now... weren't datablocks and netcabins supposed to be sharing a server?

[fatman]

That happens more often that you think when a FWP "dies".

[ edit - oops - this was in reply to sparkfan12's post, not keith's ]

Gosh darnit, and I just signed up with them and I was finally happy. Stupid datablocks...

[keith]

...and the search for the perfect host continues for ryan_man.

To be honest, John hasn't told me about this. I'm waiting for him to be online again so I can find out what is going on. I still intend on running NetCabins but if he has changed his plans, then unfortunately this probably will never happen.

[username]

Can you keep us posted about how it unfolds? :(
Has the users been told about this?
Maybe I missed it then.. :(

[Coolin]

Oh man... And the NeetHosting site looks like junk!

[username]

Does anybody know how I can get my files including in the database back from datablocks?? What is the contact mail?
Help pplease...

[Coolin]

When a host disappears without notice like that... They probably have no intention of going back up again and supplying you with the files.

Then again, some people are nice. But then again, nice people would warn their customers when they're closing.

[username]

how can I contact John? Anybody has his email add?

[NC_TOM]

According to John, lightning struck his server, killing his motherboard. He's waiting for new parts and everything should be back up in a few weeks.

????????????????????????????????


I sure hope things work out!

[Coolin]

Why would he redirect to NEET Hosting when lightning hits his server? Wouldn't he just keep the domain empty or redirect it to some place that would notify users of the situation?

[NC_TOM]

I guess they're giving him a big load of money to redirect his domain there for now.... for some reason...

This is just what John has told me; I gotta question this as much as everyone else who's reading it.

[username]

uh.. lightening?? Hitting the server?? Motherboard wouldn't be the only one to go..if ..I don't know..
Lightening.. hmm..

[Webdude]

Where's he keeping his servers?? Out in the open in his back yard? C'mon guys, he's pulling your leg. If he was doing that, he would at least put a lightening rod above them :)

[NC_TOM]

Yeah Really...

Well I talked to him on the phone today and he seems serious, and our co-locator, Xmission in Utah, has admitted to having some power problems recently. He says that the only things damaged were the Motherboard and one of the CPUs. I have to question everything else too. Whether it was lightning or something else, it probably got a bad power surge and John says he's working on it.

Hopefully this will be the last of my endless list of problems. Murphy should be executed for making Murphy's Law.
