Is the Cast Boolit forum down? Anyone else having this problem?

Joe

Yes it is. There are several forums hosted on the www.aimoo.com server and they are all having problems. Here's hoping to a speedy recovery!

I've been getting "connection failed" every time I tried to go to aimoo for 24 hours. Now, 1800 PST, I am getting the ominous "web site not found". 45 nut where are you? curmudgeon

Yes. This site and that one take turns falling on their face. Long live Shooters...

Well Gents..
Here we are, as Scrounger pointed out it seems we are going into another round of the "drop the servers". I am getting very weary of these episodes. I looked for a phone number when the main site was up and got nowhere. If there was somebody that could be contacted they sure didn't want us to know about it. I am on the outside looking in and wondering like the rest of you. You can bet they will be hearing plenty from me Sorry guys. 45nut

45nut,

When I sent my message to you earlier today, that ominous feelng of despair lay in my gut. What a letdown. I know how hard you worked to get a forum that centered around the poured projectile population.

Maybe we can find the culprits and pour a Silver Stream down one of their cavities.

My Best Regards,
Walltube

Thank You Sir.
Your kind thoughts are felt here and I do appreciate the gesture. Only seeing Cast Boolits back up will ease my suffering....as well as the 160+ members signed up there that are also feeling the servers wrath..45nut

I hope you don,t mean down and out as in "they took the money and ran" or are we looking at a temporary server outage? ohshooter

NOOOOOOOOOO I cant take this again.Shooters gone.Cast in trouble.NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I am having widthdrawel....
Help 45 nut help us.

Jim

45nut, with all due respect, maybe it's about time that castpics runs its own forum, paid for at a reputable provider. In the time that castpics has been at its current location, its not been down that I know of. 'Course, money talks, you know the rest. I'm not taking anything away from the great work you've done. Maybe you would like to help manage our own paid for forum? sundog

Let's not sweat it....45nut, thanks very much for your dilligence. Shooter's went away 'cuz they had no advertising income (bizarre considering I tried several times to contact them to buy advertising....to no avail....very unusual considering that I get at least 10 calls a day from other advertising salespeople wanting to sell me some lame-ass rag or another). We don't have a liquidity problem, jus' a physical/technical one. 45nut, if the problem persists I'll go ahead and renew the Peestol Postal on this site. Again, our many thanks for your efforts!

Jeeze, and I thought it was just my local server. Hope it's back soon.

I think maybe Aimoo is gone for good. I just got this message:

I guess enough of us contributed that they decided it was time to move on to other pursuits.

sundog...I think it's time to go independent on Castpics.

What's the bottom line on this? Let's see if we can get something going.

I'll help in any capacity I can including some $$$$./beagle

For those of us who contributed to Aimoo, it might be wise to frequently check your credit card/checking accounts to make sure there are no unauthorized payments being made.

It may be a needless waste of time, but I get paranoid about things like this. And, it doesn't take long to check your accounts online.

Hold on jus' a minute.....I just got a "under construction" message with a "try again later" prompt.....I'd give 45nut another day to fix 'er......

Regards......

New message says they've been severely hacked, will be back online in approx. 4 hrs. & apologize for any inconvenience. Ron.D

Well Guys,
It looks like Aimoo may be joining us again...New message

Aimoo was deadly hacked, the database was crashed. and we have been working on this for more than 49 hours. day and night.

The hacked server disk was delivered to us via Fedax last night, we are trying to recover the data now. we feel very very sorry for this event.

It would be take us another 4 hours. Thanks for your understanding.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
