Has somebody jacked BYOC?

Has somebody jacked BYOC or is it an upgrade happening?

[IsaacMoth]

I was wondering the same thing. It seems any link to the forum is bad.

Nevermind, just tried it and it worked!

I haven't been able to log in all weekend. So what goes on?

[Effectsiation]

I'm still having issues with this at work, no problems at home though. I wonder if some ISPs or what not are blocking it for some reason?

[Vallhagen]

FWIW, i just clicked around their site, and it looks just fine from here. Its not a site i browse daily though.

It's messed up again. I get redirected to some ecommerce site.

They use Yahoo over there and I'm here to tell you Yahoo sucks major ball sacks IMHO. They are a horrible host for them and I've got my own issues with their site myself.

Of course I'm someone who lost a few thousand posts over at BYOC when there was a massive SQL crash so you could say I'm a tad bitter. Out of those few thousand almost all of them were usless by me but there were a few gems I would have liked to have had a few times since then.

Toy think they keep getting hacked or is it just the server / host? Either way it pretty much blows.

[JohnL]

God, how I am supposed to get thru work today? Oh yeah, hang out here.

[TNblueshawk]

Jimi, in the past it was always the host. Heck, Matt the admin there completely lost his ID and all his posts to give you an idea. He couldn't get back in for the longest.

JohnL how dare you mention the word "work" while I'm at work 

[TNblueshawk]

Word from the hood is that BYOC is doing some site maintenance.

[Mike B.]

It appears that maybe they're migrating to the new domain name, and possibly (hopefully) new hosting provider.

I'm really hoping for that second part myself.

[patrickbrose]

John! Where have you been for the past 24 hours? I can't live without you!  I spend most of my forum time at BYOC, and I am hoping the "maintenance" is a true migration to another server. They have been doing a number of upgrades to the main site, so hopefully...
One thing they could have done though; I get emails from them periodically about sales and such. Couldn't they have sent out an email blast letting us know what is up?
Also, thank goodness I ordered EFx's effect blade before I lost his site name.
