It resolves okay, but their server appears to be down.

Scott Johnston sold the shoptalkforums site a few months ago.  There are a couple of extensive threads about this on http://www.thesamba.com and no one seems to have a clue what the problem is or how to get in touch with the new site owner and find out.

Here's what he has to say about it:

Quote from: "doc"

Hello All,

The recent outage of STF was simply a hiccup at the server requiring a reboot. The whole thing is my fault. I simply had not been on site since last Wednesday. My apologies to all.

For everyone's info, STF is hosted by one of the largest and most established Internet hosting companies. The bill is paid automatically. When I finally did discover we were down, it only took about 30 minutes to get back on the air. Outages like these, although uncommon, are ineveitable. The dropped ball here was that I simply had not been on site for days - uncommon, but inevitable!

Apologies to all.


He didn't know the site was down for 5 days?  :shock:
