Rob Chapman Forum

Is anyone else unable to get on to it?

A chap on there bought a pickup from me yesterday and I have not been able to get on to get the address. I thought it was a browser problem I still can't get on on another computer.

Dead for me too.

Maybe they've seen MR and think it's what all the cool kids are doing.

who's Rob Chapman and why does he have a forum ?

Is that the guy that invented the stick ?

It's Chappers of Andertons fame.

I think it may have 'moved' recently. My old bookmarked page for the RCForum went dead a little while ago. This should get you to the new location/hosting/whatever-its-called.

I thought the guy who invented the stick was called Rover.

It was Emmet Chapman!!

Rover was his assistant, who eventually got fired as he kept bringing back prototypes and off-cuts Emmet was trying to throw out.

Good catch, Frank.

When I posted the link I could get to the forum. Now I can't.Just get 'unable to find...'?

Someone not been paying their bills?

Looks like Dan forgot to renew the domain - it expired yesterday. I've reminded him, but he hasn't got back to me...

Seems to be back now. Oh, and hello fretboard forum.

And the other place is gone again. Anyone have a line to them to let them know?
(PS congrats to TF on your sparkling uptime in comparison.)

It's alive again now.

I do have a direct line to them, but I don't generally get a response when I tell them they've got downtime, so I kinda didn't bother this time. Last time, they hadn't renewed the domain; this time, the error message suggested that they hadn't paid their hosting bills. Oops.

For the record, we've had 45 minutes of since we started, of which 35 minutes was a planned upgrade and the remaining 10 was early on when we got far more traffic than we were prepared for
