It has all the signs of the conspiracy, even the page title has lost the 'hell' bit.

If Franks and the admins manage the software on the server what could ntl possibly be doing?

Speculation anyone?

Jeez-would everybody just calm down for a moment?

Frank & the rest of the team do not look after the servers, we look after the site itself, & all the registrations/queries that come into the site.

The site is hosted on an ntl server, in an ntl data center, & there has been a problem with it this morning. The problem has (I believe) been identified, & a fix is being implemented at the moment.

There is nothing to speculate I'm afraid, so I'm sorry to disappoint all the doom mongers & scaremongerers, but that's all there is to it.

Re: .com just gone down?

The title of the page is 'ntlworld' rather than 'nthellworld' and the ntl image is in the base directory, not the /images directory. However, the original images are still there, so it hasn't been nuked.

Re: .com just gone down?

The thing that puzzles me (it shouldn't being NTL) is that the site is NTL owned. Ashg and others must know what has happened and they must know who their admins and mods are and how to contact them. It should have been common courtesy to advise the admins / mods of what the situation is. Have they done this? No!

I actually don't know the full details of the fault (yet ), but I do know the site should be up this afternoon.

Anyone else got a good conspiracy theory!?

Re: .com just gone down?

Yeah, probably.
I don't see why they should close such a popular site.
It will be back though. (I hope)

Re: .com just gone down?

Didn't the unofficial community site used to redirect to the official community site?
If you go to http://www.ntlcommunity.com you get the message

nthellworld

nthellworld.com will hopefully return soon...
