KnoxBlab Down | KnoxViews

Submitted by Michael on Sun, 2007/12/23 - 10:38am

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

Submitted by earlnemo on Sun, 2007/12/23 - 11:19am.

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.

Submitted by Pam Strickland on Sun, 2007/12/23 - 4:19pm.

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....

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

Submitted by R. Neal on Sun, 2007/12/23 - 9:44pm.

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.

If you cach KnoxBlab, I suggest a few shots of whiskey and bedrest. You should be over it by Christmas.

Have a Merry one!

Anyway, I need to kick my Blab monkey addie.

So is it still working for some and not for others? Or is it just down completely? I feel so disconnected.

You're just posting because

Submitted by jah on Mon, 2007/12/24 - 12:49am.

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.
