Sloclone forum gone?

[Davidg]

Thanks for all the response guys.I was able to register again with different email address and created another user ID and password. It is strange It will let me log in but says this forum had no forums and will not let me get to the board index.
Maybe I ticked someone off with a post or just like you said Phil the lights are on but nobody is minding the store. Thank you for taking over this site before it withered on the vine. I would hate to think Rig Talk and TGP were my only outlets for gaining knowledge on amps and such.

Can I ask how it is possible that they could have lost the domain name but the forum still be up and running for some? Seems like I remember a similar situation with Schematic Heaven before it went belly up. I could go there from a bookmark on my computer but if I searched and tried to access from Google the domain was for sale. How is that possible? I am clueless when it comes to IT tech

I'm an IT guy, the domain registration can expire which means DNS might no longer point to the site itself (meaning mapping the name slocloneforums.com to an IP address on the internet) but the server is up on that address.

Some people possibly could still get to it if their DNS servers were not updated yet to the changes (or lack of an address in the case of expired domain) As soon as the sloclone owners re-subscribed the domain it was back again.

Cool. Thanks Phil I like totally almost understood a couple of sentences you wrote there. I think I'm ready to do an IPO on my startup company now. Lol No I get what you are saying I think It is like the bizarro worlds in Seinfield and Superman. Except instead of opposites personalities the forum domain was both for sale and inactive and also active to a select few at the same time.. Or something like that. Thanks for answering!

Just for reference (damm my speling ;D )I leave this link here. It is a very technical oriented forum with a very extensive knowledge base about all kinds of high gain amps, not just SLO!

Reverence or reference? ;^) Looks like it's still up and running. I can log in.

Sometimes the spell check will help you out, other times it can make some pretty humorous mistakes.
