Is Sadoun website down or is it just me?
I tried accessing Sadoun with Firefox and Chrome through out the day.

it appears that way here as well

It won't load for me either. On a similar note, Ebay searches do not currently work.

 

[Fizbi]

It's the beginning of the end...

 

[Cadsulfide]

probably a programming or server problem

WOW, It's still down this Sunday morning. Hope it's nothing major and they back online soon.

Try sadoun.us
Their forum is up if you use the .net addres but has some odd behavior.

Oh thanks!..... I didn't know they had a .us address... I was using the .com and clicking the link from the gold sponsor list......

Last night when I went to Sadoun's forums my antivirus program kept complaining about an ad from some Russian site that was trying to look like Google. It seems to be gone this morning.

 

[teched]

The .ru site is gone, but there is some bogus content in one of the files still:

Grab forums/geek/gal/clientscript/gal_popup.js from the .net site and look for YFiXz

The code works out to loading an iframe from a .cn site.

Hmmm, no warnings from AVG and Firefox. Maybe I didn't get that ad for some reason.

A trace, suggests HostRocket.com may be his hosting provider, and they seem to have a routing issue in-house.
'Course, I could be wrong.

(hrnoc.net is hostrocket.com)

The holiday season is a bad time (for business) to have your web site go down.

 

[woodheat/nooil]

went to Forwarding to forums which works, but then hit the link for sadoun on the top left. then waiting for xblacknet.cn came up. I did not wait to see if anything would pop up.

 

[madmadworld]

want to make a order dang
would get before the weekend ....they ship fast.
fix this
they want it fixed more than i. lol
but i do need stuff

 

[turbosat]

It's working for me now,glad they got it fixed. I wonder what really happened? Not techy enough to understand how these websites work, but it sounded like some foreign site hijacked it or something.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yup its back up and running now.

 

[Anole]

Yep, glad to have 'em back ! - :up

The good news is, with so many of us watching the site, I bet he heard about the outage immediately.
I know I've PM'd Brian more than once over the years, when his has been acting up.
