What is going on with Amiga.com???
« on: December 18, 2011, 05:04:36 AM »
It's been awhile since I checked Amiga.com, but today I went to Amiga.com to check out the site and was greeted by some kind of hosting site.  
Is this really the end or my DNS screw-up?

It's fortunately not working here either.

Maybe they are about to release Snowman maker ver 2.0!

It's been extremely slow and unresponsive for a day or two now, at least for me.

It's a far cry from a few years ago when they tried to sell the Amiga brand for M$100. Now they can't even afford the web hosting!

So what's to stop anyone from taking over the address? So if i get the site address does this mean i am the owner of the Amiga brand?

No & they could probably take it back from you.

Maybe it'll go back to the rightful owners.

" The SuperHosts.net team consists of:
Ray Akey - System & Technical Admin - This guy does it ALL, on top of being the best coder on the planet. www.codemain.com"

There's the link between Amiga Inc. and the apparently current holder of the domain. Ray Akey used to be (?) webmaster of amiga.com

(What a f-ugly site superhosts.net has BTW. Looks like something out of the early 2000s).

Seems to be a problem with the host. Other sites hosted by them are doing the same thing.

IIRC, I believe Ray Akey was a developer or purchaser of the CNet BBS program for Amiga at one time too.  Small world.

Damn it! We might miss some important info if the site won't go back online soon!
