WIX Down?
Sun Aug 08, 2004 3:25 pm
I haven't been able to log on to the board for two days....the board seemed to have been down whenever I tried from either work or home.
But it looks like many other people haven't had any problems and have been posting away.
Anyone else have a "break" in their WIX service?

It's been down since Thursday night for me, and only back within the last hour or so. There was DNS issues with the warbirdinformationexchange.org domain name that was only resolved today. Most likely the reason some people could still access the WIX during this period is their ISP's DNS servers were not properly respecting the zone's(domain's) timeout and were caching it too long(good for them in this case, but bad if the server's IP address ever changes). Sorry if that's too technical, I was a sys admin at a mom & pop ISP for a few years so I'm very familiar with these types of issues.

In the UK, WIX has been down since Friday until this afternoon (Monday) and as a result, I have had the shakes, although these are gradually stopping, the more posts that I read.
On a serious note, the 'site seems slow, is this just me or a result of the down time?

It's not just you Tony, the site is also very slow for me as well. Since it is at least working though I shant complain, however I think we should all organize a WIX "monkey hunt"and flame the monkey's once and for all.

Sod the Monkeys, were's the bloody 'site Founder and Administrator when he's needed most?
Swanning around the countryside chasing horses!
I hope it's worth it
