can everyone still get in to it ok
i don't seam to be able to even tho i could earlier today
i was in mid conversation with anither member too.
it might be just my internet as it has been playing up a bit .
:thumbs_down:
Seth...it's down for me well...
Mmmmmmmm..... I hope not for good?
Could be one of three things - in order of increasing likelihood
1. Forum shut down, unannounced.
2. Much awaited, unannounced forum upgrade.
3. Just a general hiccup. Happens to everyone from time to time.
My money is firmly on #3
hi guys
well I keep that page open while I am on here to.
and ive just gone on there and its not working if I refresh the page it come up not there
as you say it might be just a glitch in the network ???
Hope your right vlad

:thumbs_down:
well mate ive tried on both my ipad phone and comp and still nothing finger crossed that it come up latter to night
time will tell i do hope the old org can last but with out maintenance it won't :thumbs_down: :cry2:
It's still down. That's a few hours now.
i keep trying to :frustrated:
i has been doing this every now and then for a while but hasn't lasted this long for a while
:thumbs_down: :whatever: :facepalm:
hopefully it comes back
also hope the folk from there find here
:cheers:
yes I have being at it to but :frustrated: time its not good guys I am thinking hope I am wrong
all we can do is hope it comes back on sometime soon

well done vlad and all the rest :clapping:

I :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute: you all on the hard work in getting this site up and running bravo :onya:
Had no luck trying this afternoon :whatever:
Hello Org2
i was on the old org most of the morning
was going to send a message to vince about his brake/clutch line kit
came off to have lunch and couldn't get back on after lunch.
actually a bit pissed off as i don't have vince number due to it beung in a pm on that org. :frustrated: :whatever: :thumbs_down:
I think its bad new my self sorry but it looks that way sad :thumbs_down:
Let's give it some time before we write it of completely. I remember it was down for a few days last time, and it was a day or so before we got any news on why and what was happening. To be fair I can imagine it's now going to be way down on the priority list for Synk given recent events and lack of response to the org members.
Let's wait..... :smile2:
yes I am not saying its gone and you all know better than me if it will come back on so sorry if I was implying that guys .... I for one wont them both running like you all do
Exactly what I was afraid of with the emergence of this site. I'd say Synk finally logged on & took the many negative comments to heart and has shut the org down.
I do hope that I'm wrong but I doubt it. A final statement from the org admin would have been nice.
Everytime it goes down with no warning it just pisses folk off
i hope its here for a very long time but fear the worst
folk stop going back after every time it crashes so less active members each time
:whatever:
yes its bound to get to people the way it is ... but you never no it might be ok wait and see
been in touch with a few of thr old orgsters who are not here and they can't get in yhe old org either
I can't get into the old .org either.
Just hope all the years of information on there aren't lost forever :furious:
hopefully not
thats partly why here was set up to save the info and knowledge :computer_type:
Yes it is a shame if it is gone ,but I am sure someone will have most of the info stored some how ,, And it's a good job this was setup
I messaged Sheff earlier, he had no knowledge of the org. being down or of an update, although he was at work, so lets hope its a glitch
Ok well that is reassuring at least it's not a shut down by the sound of things good
Hopefully it will be back and up and running soon
just tried logging on there too but its still down :whatever:
Gaz
spoken to sheff via messanger
he's didn't know it was down till teatime ish and has been trying to get hold of synk since then but getting fed up of the lack of response so far .
i am going to speak to him tomorrow evening hopefully.

I've said this before - I have most if not all of the main technical and "how to" articles stored down, been doing that over the past year or so, ever since it came back after the major disaster a few years back. So the info isn't lost, although it might take me a while to reformat it all and pop it up here. In the interim, if anyone needs anything in particular, feel free to pm me and I'll see what I can do :)
top man dave
:clapping:
old org still down this morning :thumbs_down:
You can tell Barmy was a top IT bloke before retirement... that's called good risk management! :clapping:
its called getting so fed up with things doing something about it
luckily he knew how to do it . :onya:
if here hadn't been set up we'd all just be sutting at home waiting and wondering if the org was ever going to be back up or back on
:thumbs_down:
Yes still down. Bad timing if nothing else. Fingers crossed it's not the end :cry2:

I agree...this forum needs a source of 'member drift'... :rofl2:
Seriously though I hope it comes back.
As I've said here and on FB, from time to time for all sites (even FB itself) shit just happens, beyond the control of the site owners/managers.

Good luck. I hope it's solvable
tonight i had a long chat with sheff about a few things
the old org is down as everyone knows
he's messaged synk several time but had no response yet .
he is very fed up about that and very flustered as he can only do so much of the admin and nothing as far in as it needs
he had spoken about getting the org more updated to run better on newer device's and be more user friendly ( he does everything via his iphone6)
to be fair i could use 90% of the old org no problem on my samsung S5 only thing i couldn't get was video .
he will keep in touch and hopes he'll hear something very soon but nothing more he can do untill synk re-surfaces .
he knows about here and that its a good place and the idea behind it all
he might appear here in the future but as you can imagine is very down on the whole forum thing just now.
he's has been getting grief from all side of his life the org only being a part if that.
i now have his new phone number and will be keeping in touch with him.
if any more news comes i will let you all know
seth
Thanks mate.
he's very down on the whole thing
and his hands are tied with what he can do
I'll keep in touch with him
seth
He's been through this before - Synk is only available when Synk wants to be, and it's very frustrating for him. Synk did the same to Gnome when he was around, basically was unavailable and in the end that's what got to Gnome and why he stood down.
I really feel for Pete, as he's a decent bloke.
he is indeed a top bloke
tho he's pretty down just now
Sorry to say but it's always the good guys that get pissed on.... :angry:
so true and always through no fault of there own .
its still down this morning :thumbs_down:
:onya: sheff is a top man it would be a great shame not to have him around he knows so much about all aspects in running sites and knowledge on the 1400 as well as other thing in life
What a shame chin up sheff we all luv ya.
There are a lot of members on the ORG surely someone must live by him? We are all knocking the guy because of past history but as anyone seen him or spoke to him. Just saying as the guy maybe sick or in hospital.
Chin up Sheff, its not your fault.
I don't blame you and I am pretty confident I am not alone in this.
Hope to see you here soon.

We are not knocking Sheff in any way shape or form Gordon - the problems as always is the unavailability of Synk, even Sheff can't get hold of him (again).
I wasnt talking about sheff Dave I was talking about Synk
We're here and it's now so I shall not dwell upon the past. Like a previous girlfriend that you liked so much but eventually outgrew we have moved to fresh fields, with happy memories and hope for a better future.

Absolutely - you must have met my ex-girlfriend then !! Lol :smile2:
just tried the old org again :computer_type: i say its gone to the same place as the dodo
If that really is the case, it's a shame after what - 15 years? - of being up and running and with all that info and history there. Whilst I'm thoroughly enjoying being here, I would like to see the "old" org come back up. But given the time its been down now and the complete lack of communication, even from those who also frequent FB, I do wonder if it will return. I know Sheff has been trying to contact Synk for status with no joy, the guy seems to have dropped off the planet
I think i have his home address, and according to member map Del is the closest lol.. Del fancy knocking on Synks door?!?!?!
:lol: :devil: :wheelie:

:rofl2: He lives in or near Dunoon i believe!!
Go figure..
i might have his phone number watch this space :cheers:

:popcorn: move over it's a three setter pop corn anyone ;)
There are or were submarines in Dunoon.........maybe he's underwater
i found a number for synk :jack:
its an old number but I've sent a text and it has gone through
I'll let everyone know if i get a reply :frustrated:
well i got a reply from synk
he says
he didn't know the old org was down untill today
hes contacted the host company to try and find out whats happen with it
hes working in the middle east with limited access to the old org.
asked to put in facebook he knows its down but i dont have facebook .
time will tell if anything happens
My neighbour works in the middle east - no internet problems , and he's all over the place! we communicate regularly as does my mrs with his
Interesting he didn't respond to Sheff. He should have known it was down. Clearly he isn't interested enough to even check the org.
It's still down today.

I somehow doubt it will be resurrected, Synk has known its down for over a week now, if not longer, its probably getting to the point of no return.
A great shame if that is the case for it to end like that after all these years, but with Sheff having resigned from the org as well (due to lack of response and communication from Synk amongst other things), then I'm not at all hopeful. I think Vladtepes got this place up and running just in time otherwise we'd all be going stir crazy
i sent a text yesterday to synk to ask of any news
no reply yet :jack:
still nothing from synk and when i use the link for the old org
it goes to the chocolate frog company
so not a clue what will happen and if it will ever come back . :cry2:
Quote from: seth on Monday, 27 March 2017, 05:10 PM

No I've not had any response from him either.
I was hopeful he might make a copy of the old database available to us to host as a static/archive site. Would be a win for everyone - info retained and no ongoing work for him. Shame.

My money is on: nothing, and no.
Yep, that is a malicious move on his part. Its a framed forward. Cant happen by accident its an "in your face" move by him just to be a wanker.
framed forward?
He has forwarded the URL to another URL so when you go to www.gsx1400.org it takes you to http://www.chocolatefrogcompany.co.uk/. The framed bit means you dont see the http://www.chocolatefrogcompany.co.uk/ url, you see the gsx1400.org one.
Its like when BIG companies buy 100s of domain names but every single one takes you to the same web site.
Would he have done that or just cancelled the domain registration and someone else has grabbed it...?
No, thats not how it works.. its not up for renewal until next year and the records still point to him owning it
I see. What a bugger.
