the problem?

Get this...
you have to know how dns works to get this.

*.Spiritplants.com uses NS1/2.PeerWeb.net to turn the domain into the IP address.

*.PeerWeb.com uses itself (NS1/2) and NS1/2.JetServers.com to resolve *.PeerWeb.com to an IP address

*.JetServers.com uses NS1/2.JetServers.com to resolve *.JetServers.com to and IP.

So what the hell?!

Well,
#1, JetServers.com has now expired. So, JetServers.com wont resolve to anything. When PeerWeb trys to look back at JetServers to figure out its own name, JetServers is gone, so it doesn't resolve. Then Spiritplants trys to resolve using PeerWeb. Its all a big mess.

Spiritplants ->> PeerWeb ->> JetServers

When you lookup SpiritPlants.com, It trys to use ns1.PeerWeb.net to resolve the host, but it can't even resolve the ns1.peerweb.net because it is relying on itself () and on JetServers. And then because jetservers is down, it messes everything up.

So i thiiiiiiiink that might be the issue.

Now where the heck in eddy to redo his Whois records!

Anyone have ANY clue what the old Server IP ADDRESS used to be?
The server could still be up and on the internet! Just not being resolved!!!!

we will see..........

[typonaut]

Certainly sounds like an issue. Haven't the faintest what the IP address is. Wish I did.

Good work, nitrosleuth.

is the problem that php virus that google had. ethnobotany australia was down for a week with that, about the same time as spirit plants.

[caulfield]

Yeah, 2 other forums I frequent also went down around the same time and when they got back up someone mentioned something about a virus hitting webboards or something like that. I haven't heard anything though.

64.233.179.104

Me thinks. Run googoo google search and type in "spiritplants + {insert topic you know exists there}" your nick will work, and then hit "cached". That is the DNS in the addy line.

You must've gotten the pre-flight and in-flight routine mixed up.

Can't find anything

[CJ]

Gawd,seems like you busted your butt trying to do something!

    I don`t understand what it is,but I do understand effort.

[moppy]

Eddy owns the peerweb name or at least it comes to the same PO box i/we always used back at theforestfloor:


WHOIS information for peerweb.net:

[whois.srsplus.com]
peerweb.net

Registrant:
         Cy Co.  (cyco@cyco.biz)
       
        PO Box 910  
        Bucyrus, OH  44820
        US
        419-563-0205



BTW, not posting personal info---just what the whois server gave up.

[Cassie]

I spoke to Eddy in the chatroom on December 15th when he said he would be away for a month.  That month is almost over and i am half expecting him back any day.
If he returns we will have spiritplants.com back online but there have to some changes, so that this can never happen again.
If he doesn't return , i suggest we buy the domain name (in July) - Nitroburn has already expressed an interest in acquiring it and hosting it himself, which would certainly suit me.  We could stay here until then ??

After some discussions with JRL, Cenacle and Bush i am liking the idea of an admin team which makes decisions by consensus and one or two technical people who have the keys to the website and enact these decisions.
I think its is preferable to have as the key-holders people who are 100% tried and true. Everyone is happy for nitroburn to be a key-holder and if Troutmask feels competent to be #2, i think he's our man.  Our kind host, Andy@yage is also apropriate and if we had these 3 as key-holders we'd be in good hands.
Where decisions on contoversial issues were needed a meeting of the admin team would be called (at nitro's chat server). The suggestion mooted is that the team would consist of  ex-moderators from spf and also long-standing and active members who were keen to be involved. (there would need to be a maximum number agreed on for effectiveness).

At present i am still in a state of dismay - to think that the archive is lost ...

 

When i spoke to eddy last he said he would give nitroburn the keys to spf but he disappeared without doing so ... damnit!
He thinks the missing pics are still there somewhere and seemed happy for nitro to have a go at finding them all.
anyways .. for now i am still waiting and missing the old place a lot but i am so pleased that we have this home to be in for now...
many thanks andy!

[laughingwillow]

Sounds like a plan, cassie.

But if I had a nickel for every time eddy said he was going to do something and then not coming through, I'd have coffee money in me pocket.

[judih]

it sounds good to me.
i like the minimum number of key holders with maximum access to chat for brainstorming.

hope eddy shows up so that some of the good old stuff can be archived in a safe place.

If not, not! Life goes on.
sand mandalas come and sand mandalas go.

But the energy remains and carries on.

(enough cliche for now, but never enough telling you all how glad i am to witness the blossoming)

[laughingwillow]

cassie: The only part of the plan I don't like is having to migrate a forum discussion to a chat server. I can forsee virtually no scenario that would be so important as to have a group meet online in real time. The idea of a specific group presenting opinions as time allows makes a lot more sense, imo.

And besides that....... I get the feeling that a lot of past spf decisions were made by eddy in chat while brainstorming with only god knows who. Forum bidness should remain in the forums, imo. That way, those making the decisions are also those using the forums.
