sector001 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 I can be wrong but I thought I read somewhere, they are taking it down and working on some other site instead of ATRAClife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfbp Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Have you noticed how this board went down twice (I think it moved). I tracked this one to Eric Woudenberg someplace near NY.However it seems atraclife.org's domain registration has expired. These things cost money, and I expect it's not paid for. One of the troubles with a "free" internet and the falling financial system is that lots of people will simply stop paying for their domains. I almost did this myself on one domain I look after.

Sparky191 Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Did that recently myself for a site which I was planning to use but hadn't got around to it yet. Delayed renewing it, it expired, so it went into redemption, which means its will cost be €100 to get it back immediately. Or I can wait 3 months for the redemption to expire when I can just pick up again for €9. Guess I'll wait so. Or I might just use a different name.

netmduser Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) If atraclife does not come back to life, what is the process and costs to start up a board that has the same look and feel as minidisc.orgRequirements.Domain registration 100/yr?mysql free?vBulletin free?hosting service xx/yr?time volunteer?Content sony mp3 players, recording devices, etc?Another option could be blog format, I have seen some blogs that come close to the forum format, this would resolve the backend services as it is provided.If you have any ideas please feel free to add to the list etc. Edited September 29, 2008 by netmduser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 You'd have to pay a license fee to Invision most likely, to have a decent board. There are freebies but I would never put a major BBS there. $150 initially, and then optional $25 per (not sure if 6months or 1 year) for ongoing support.Registration is only about $35 per year, less if you get a 5 or even 10 year lease from Network Solutions.The server itself - about $100 per month. No way you want it on an existing connection, this belongs on a server farm somewhere.PS right now I am sure it's only the name that's died, the server is probably out there. So it's the issue of someone's DNS server holding that name so it will be promulgated over the internet, that hasn't been paid for. Maybe someone here can figure out the last time they got an email from Atraclife, and we can access it via number instead of name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation for a few days. I will try and speak to Chris this afternoon and will confirm the situation for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGHMW Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 STILL not up, this is getting ridiculous!!!I am PM'ing both Karisu and Richyhu to find out what's up!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 If you or anyone else can find an email sent from that board, you can probably access it by IP number. You'll have to look in the headers, but it should be there clearly enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I am sorry that the site is still down, Chris is currently looking into it, but is still trying to work out the cause of the outage. Obviously he is trying to fit this in around his regular daily work schedule so it may still take a little while. Apologies for any inconvenience.

sfbp Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Worst case you should be able to set up a fake pointer at dyndns.org. Richy, take a look at your emails from that board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 ALC should hopefully be back up by Monday. Both MDCF and ALC were moved to a new server and there were some issues post-move for AtracLife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
