is xbmcscripts.com down?

chill guys...

enderw does the site as a free service to the community.

we do not know, something bad could have happened that he cannot get to it right now. i hope this is not the case as i hope all is well by him but it is a possibility.

give him some time.

xbmc scripts.com have been down all weekend does anyone know whats going on with it?


i had a thoughts as well how about a mirrored site for xbmc scripts i have unlimited apace and bandwidth not hard to set up

just an idea.

please post your suggestion here http://www.xboxmediaplayer.de/cgi-bin....t=18799

the dns for the site is ns1.sytlefone.com according to whois lookups, and that dns appears to be down (pings timeout). the site is most likely running, and its just a dns issue. if anyone has the direct ip for the site, i'm fairly sure we could use it to temporarily access the site.

what this doesn't explain is why enderw will not respond to anyone who attempts to contact him. seriously, how hard is it to make a quick post letting folks know that he is alive & well?

ultimately enderw is not required to be at your beck and call. he has gratiously volunteered his time, server and bandwidth (all of which cost money) and asked for nothing in return (not even a banner ad). you should keep that in mind at all times.

while that is true, if he no longer wishes to host the site it is his responsibility to inform someone of this so another arrangement can be made. i'm sure that there are other people who would be more than happy to do this, they just need some form of communication to let them know that their assistance is needed.

hello,

whats up with the site? no comeback?

it's time to think about an alternative...

i'm very interesting set up a new site (php+mysql based).
also webspace i no problem, we have much capacity free.

btw. the xbmcscripts.com site was not really "state of the art" - poor functions and no clear structure...

what do you think, what should we do...?

cheers lolol

if enderw's site is going down it will not be the first time this has happened. i think it was threezee who had a similar script database that can be accessed from the xbox.

for me i think the most important factor of a replacement would be longterm availability. whipping up a database driven site can be done in less than an hour with ruby-on-rails (not that i could) but keeping the site alive is harder.

somehow making the site more portable (hosting in different locations) might be something to think about. there should be a mechanism of insulating site availability from suffering from high operating costs / maintaner absence. perhaps a p2p solution? a rotating site redirection?
