Looks as if Derrick and Rob's FunHouseRock.com domain expired yesterday. That's the site that hosts KnoxBlab.com. Good luck getting back up and running, guys.

no blabber left behind
Really? I'm still not getting in. Nostalgia & ghosts of Blabsmas past. I surfed the google results for "knoxblab" a little while this morning and walked around in the old yahoo group site from July '05 when Bubbablab went down.
*sniff sniff*
Life is short. Make every blab count. Love thy blabber as thyself.

I was there yesterday, and
I was there yesterday, and saw a woman shopping in her bathrobe, complete with matching slippers. It was the light blue with clouds combo. And it was the middle of the day, quite light outside.
And, today I ran in for something after church, and as I left, I encountered another woman in her pajamas. She did have on her coat over them....

The above link is still working. Guess metulj is right, it's cached or something.
There are posts today from just a few minutes ago, so some folks are still getting through.
The IP comes back to 65.254.250.102
Rapture?

I think he means that the site pages were still cached inside the browser, meaning, that even though the site is offline, the pages were still showing up in his browser.
Maybe the IP was cached in
Maybe the IP was cached in my DNS server or my PC, or the domain name records were cached in my ISP's DNS server.
I flushed my local DNS cache and it doesn't work any more. Or, maybe the DNS records expired from my ISP. I don't know.
I can still reach their server by the IP address, but the forum software doesn't appear to like it if you come in that way.
So, I don't know.
Ask metulj...
As for a civilian explanation, their phone number was ripped out of the great Internet Yellow Page in the sky because they didn't pay The Man, but if you still knew their phone number you might have been able to get through to them for a while before word got out to the The Man's corner workers.
Civilian Cure
If you cach KnoxBlab, I suggest a few shots of whiskey and bedrest. You should be over it by Christmas.
Have a Merry one!
winter solstice
Is it somehow related to the winter solstice?
Just wonderin'
Anyway, I need to kick my Blab monkey addie.
It is one of my resolutions.
But tis' Christmas, and I didn't want to kick it right jest now.
Thanks Randy, for letting the flotsam collect here until further direction (NSEW)

questions
So is it still working for some and not for others? Or is it just down completely? I feel so disconnected.
It was down and dead as a door nail
And Christmas Eve to boot.
The air was cold and wet,
and a fog swirled about.
The Blab was down.
T'was dead, it seemed.
But what do I see?
But, in the distance, a red light appears...
And a snort, yes, a snort

Tess, so you were planning to quit blabbing anyway, just not yet?
tracking ya'll down-
I told spiney I was doing ok from the withdrawel shakes but the bouts of sweating are just not proper for a southern lady to be having...therefore, I am having blab glistenings.

I'm getting it fine, and can post.
I just posted in the "blab Junkies" thread.
Anyone see it?
You're just posting because
You're just posting because (I think) your dns servers haven't noticed that knoxblab is down. Or something. Me could probably elaborate.
Essentially, Rob & Derek forgot to renew funhouserock.com. Probably once they get online (Wednesday?) they will notice this and be able to renew the domain (sometimes you can after it's expired, sometimes you can't). Either way, knoxblab.com is owned by Ian and is fine. But right now most people can't get it, and those who can won't for long - their ISPs just haven't noticed that funhouserock is down.
I've thought about setting up a phpbb forum (vbulletin costs $) for the interim, but only the people who check here would notice, so I don't guess it matters much. And few peopl will be online the next few days anyway.
incidentally, nothing is
incidentally, nothing is lost. Everything that was posted is in a database on
WAIT.
Rob (or Derek) just updated today.
Funhouserock should be back online tomorrowish.
The Blab is dead. Deader than a doorknob.
But, I "will keep my Christmas humor to the last."
A sad Christmas eve, indeed.
