Is this thing on?
Apparently my shady registrar has been preventing some folks from visiting some sites. Can you guys get to all these: Mephisto Blog, Active Reload, Encytemedia? This isn’t some ploy for attention, but Justin has flaky access, and I’ve gotten some emails about other folks too. So far we haven’t had any luck with domain transfers.
Update: Thanks for the updates, everyone. I’ve started a transfer with Moniker Had some issues, going with godaddy now.

The last couple of days I was unable to get to mephistoblog.com from my mac at home. Oddly, my wife, on the same network, was able to get to it on her PC.
It worked fine this morning.
I’m in Scottsdale, AZ using Qwest.
by rick on 15 Mar 16:39
Sergio: hah, this site is on a different host than the others, with dns registered from godaddy I think.
by Martin on 15 Mar 17:29

Both mephistoblog and encytemedia is inaccessible. “Problem loading page” kind of error. No 20 seconds of trying to load, no response whatsoever.
I’m from Norway, Oslo. Mail me and I’ll do whatever pings and queries you’d like to get this sorted.
by Matt on 16 Mar 22:20
No dice for Mephisto or Encytemedia in Washington, DC through RCN. However, I’ve been able to use the Mephisto site though anonymouse.org, though:

MephistoBlog and Encytemedia do not work but ActiveReload does. I also have trouble accessing RailsWeenie here in Alberta.
by Victor on 23 Mar 14:06
Still can’t get to MephistoBlog or Encytemedia from Bainbridge Island, Washington. ActiveReload’s fine.
by Walter McGinnis on 25 Mar 23:21
Only active reload works from Wellington, NZ. I’ve been using France’s Gandi.net for years as my registrar (well before I jumped the US ship). Cheapish, custom DNS, no complaints.
I dealt with GoDaddy for a client a few years ago and hated it. What a mess.
Cheers, Walter
by Sindre on 26 Mar 11:56
Only ActiveReload works here. I’m in Norway. Railsweenie.com has the same problem.
by braver on 27 Mar 21:44
GoDaddy is sh*t, they turn off domains at will. Don’t use them!
by rick on 02 Apr 10:38
braver: 2 things—1) I’ve used godaddy for years on this domain… so we’ll see.
2) Please don’t censor yourself on this blog. Be proud of who you are :)
