Title: Acube dead already ?
Post by: Everblue on December 31, 2007, 06:46:31 PM: After reading the (fantastic) news that a company is going to start production of complete minimigs I hurriedly followed the link to the company's site, only to find that its dead.

http://www.acube-systems.com

Can someone tell me if this is temporary, or other things have happened?

Thanks!

Post by: EDanaII on December 31, 2007, 07:29:43 PM: Here's the problem:

Everblue was using this link: http://www.acube-systems.com

And those who have access are using this link: http://www.acube-systems.biz

Wrong suffix.

Post by: EDanaII on December 31, 2007, 07:34:00 PM: No need to roll your eyes, CLS. It's clearly a routing problem.

Post by: Piru on December 31, 2007, 08:11:11 PM: I think it's no routing problem.

The acube-systems.com domain has (probably) been parked, waiting for renewal:
Code: [Select]
Domain name: ACUBE-SYSTEMS.COM Created on: 2007-01-05 Updated on: 2007-01-05 Expires on: 2008-01-05
I've never heard about parking it before the expiration date, though, that sounds a bit weird :)

Post by: EDanaII on December 31, 2007, 09:29:47 PM: Hmmm... speculating further... maybe Acube, themselves, are parking it in preparation for dumping?

When I followed the link provided by SLayeR first realized that there were two domains in question, but the page changed a couple of times. First it had the image SLayeR suggested, then it looked like the page I remember from previous visits, then it looked like SLayeR's image again. So, maybe... it's just under construction?

Changing provider
Bassano del Grappa - Italy - 23 december 2007: ACube Systems will move its websites to a new hosting company. Thus, you may experience a few problems in the next days accessing our websites and contacting us by email.

Probably nothing to worry about.
Happy New Year....

Post by: Everblue on January 03, 2008, 01:32:01 PM: So, anyone sent Acube an email, and got an answer back?

Post by: doghouse on January 03, 2008, 02:09:33 PM: Confounded customer services!
I hope they don't go the way of Commodore.. BANKRUPT.

Perhaps the logical explanation is that they're just getting back to work after the Winter holiday season...
