Title: Calc.org down
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on June 05, 2006, 09:53:00 am

I noticed by trying to access Fryedsoft's website that calc.org has been down for quite a while now. I am curious if it's because they are gone for good? because while they were dead I remember weregoose and ben trettel and a few other guys were working on a new design, not sure

From what I'm seeing so far, Calc.org isn't dead as much as itmom.com is, which is their provider.

My guess is the company finally went belly up, but other than specualtion I have no idea. It's been down for almost a week now.

This pretty much is going to make us have to move faster on me and Hiryu's relocation plans. We were going to wait on in since he just moved into a new place, and it looked like calc.org was starting to go somewhere. Apparently that wasn't a great move on our part.

Pretty much, i'd like to see a calc.org staff member give us some details on whats going on, since I'm all but convinced their going to have to look for a new host.

I hope they at least made backups. Otherwise if itmon passed away this mean the entire calc.org is no more as well as the site hosted here. At least BlueCrimson was hosted on tollfreepage

well, the tollfreepage site is more or less a test platform anyway, even if it did go away it really wouldn't hurt us much.

My site has a complete backup, on my machine, on tollfreepage and on the adelphia.net mirror. I wouldn't even need the mirror if this wasn't a normal day at calc.org. At least itmom was better than that cobalt RAQ or whatever they had that kept crashing every other day.

oh right I forgot Fryed Software was hosted somewhere and calc.org was some kind of redirect. Good to hear at least.

Omnimaga used to be entirly hosted on Unitedti.org but now the forum is on invisionfree. Almost all images and every files are still on UnitedTI.org . Good because I have 500 MB of diskspace now (we used to have 100 but as a christmas gift we got all upgraded to 500 ^_^)

on top of that I have two UnitedTI webspace because one was gonna be used to move Epic Programming Studio when earthforge went down for a while, but the project never really started up, as EPS died on december and officially became a porn forum (stupid spambots) so basically I have 500 MB for Omnimaga and 500 MB for EPS, which I didnt used really

the entire site was actually on calc.org, it just had mirrors since it was going down all the time. This is nothing new for calc.org. it would go away for weeks or even months. I think it had something like 2 hard drive crashes within 5 months one year.

Right now, its a debate whether to switchover to adelphia for now, or start bluecrimson on tollfreepage and get the ball rolling. I'm gonna wait awile and see what happens with calc.org and for Hiryu to get back from his business trip before making the final decision. For one, We still need to get a domain name, and second get hosting that actually allows us to do more powerful stuff with it. 100webspace (what tollfreepage actually is called) has some pretty good hosting plans so we might end up staying there and moving over to the eblah CMS, although I was waiting for the new verision coming out soon, which adds a lot more features to eblah.

itmom is still gone. itmon is a different site than itmom, of course if I said itmon at some point it wouldn't surprise me. it took me awile to realize it myself.

On another note, calc.org is pulling up a 403, and it looks like it's moved nameservers to starlogic.com. at least thats a good sign. Hopefully they continue hosting the sites they had.

Quoted from Ben Trettel on UnitedTI.org:

QUOTE

403 Forbidden is better than nothing. The host we'd been staying on had some major issues and finally kicked the bucket. We've been moving since then. The current host is temporary before we decide on the final host. Likely we won't get the old calc.org website back online because I know little to nothing about how it worked. We're still working however. To clear up any misconceptions, I'll let everyone know the minute this project falls through, if it does. I'll upload an explanation page as soon as I get access to the new hosting.

thats sound cool, I didnt though they were dying really, because I know their hosting provider were getting worse and worse, so they should just have to get a new one now

welcome to the forums btw
