RFF seems to be up now 2:37 EST

[froyd]

The site seems to be working right now.

Hmmm. Not on my computer, it isn't.

[froyd]

Not sure why... but I'm on with several other people and posting.

[one90guy]

Just checked, not working for me.

[Tony-S]

No worky for me, neither.

Truly bizzarre!

I cannot open another tab to rangefinderforum.com without getting the "Server down" message. But the on the tab I opened at 2:37 I can navigate, search, and post. There are three new messages in the past 30 minutes from a couple of users.

Try loging in here: http://64.38.3.147

I get a Godaddy.com parking page when I go to RFF by name. When I use the dotted quad froyd posted, I get to the page and can see some articles, but trying to enter the (e.g.) Retina forum sent me back to the Godaddy parking page. The fact that some people see the page correctly and others don't, along with the fact that the direct IP address works, suggests to me that the DNS entries are being updated and it hasn't propagated to all the DNS servers yet. That, in turn, suggests that somebody has changed hosting providers or at least domain name registrars. But I'm not a 'Net expert, don't take that as gospel.

Maybe Steve got it up, but now it's back down???

[tomalophicon]

I'm looking at it now.
Wow! You guys should see the gear these guys are posting about. Damn!

The server is up (use the above URL posted by froyd).
But the domain name "rangefinderforum.com" is not associated to the server yet.

Don't bookmark the IP address, my guess is it won't be long until the site is accessible by name again.
