Station V3 - Updated Daily!

Archive for the ‘site status’ Category

Bonus Archive re-updated, and updated some more

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

Apparently stationv3.com isn’t pointing to the new host for everyone just yet (and the server at the old host finally went down), since I’ve been told there were some connection problems here and there this morning. So if you couldn’t connect today and were wondering what was going on, maybe you’ll see this message in a few days and get the answer to your question!

In other site news, apparently the bonus archive reverted back to where it was before I updated it earlier this month, since my backup of the site was from before I did that. So I’ve re-updated it, and also added in all the bonuses so far this month except for the two new ones that went up earlier today.

Jatol

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

I see in the site logs that people are visiting here looking for information on Jatol.com – unfortunately, I don’t have very much. The server I was on stayed up, so I probably wouldn’t even have noticed they were down except it was time to renew a domain name with them! There’s a discussion about them on the Web Hosting Talk forums, and another on Slashdot. And apparently their registered agent in Kentucky (where the company was incorporated) just resigned.

Now, for those of you visiting for the comic (no longer hosted on Jatol) and not interested in any of that, there are two new voting bonuses today! A sprite strip in which Linton discusses the possibility of losing every round of the simulation tournament, and a bad translation of today’s strip. Thanks for voting!

Moved

Friday, September 7th, 2007

Everything seems to be more or less straightened out now – I’ve got new hosting (Vexxhost), I’ve got comicostrich.com and stationv3.com pointing at it, and it looks like most of you are seeing the site up and running here now. (And those of you still seeing the site on what’s left of Jatol aren’t reading this message…)

Today’s first bonus is a sprite strip in which Linton finds out the simulation server crashed, and the second one is a very bad translation of today’s strip (though the third panel came out okay) – thanks for voting!

Live Ostrich

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

I got the comicostrich.com domain name renewed, so Z7, Ebb’s Children, Silence in the Darkness on Q16, the forums, etc. are all back online, at least for now. Now I just have to find a new host to move them to, since I don’t know how much longer this server is going to stay up!

Trying to revive a dead Ostrich

Tuesday, September 4th, 2007

As far as I can tell, Jatol.com, the host Station V3 and all the ComicOstrich sites (including Z7, Ebb’s Children, Silence in the Darkness on Q16, the forum, etc.) is going (or gone) out of business. The server’s still up, at least for now, but I’m going to be moving to another host soon. And unfortunately, they were also the ones I had the comicostrich.com domain registered with. I first noticed a problem when I went to their site to renew it, and they weren’t there! The domain has now expired, and the company they were partnered with for domain registrations now has a parked domain search/advertising page up at all the ComicOstrich sites. I contacted them yesterday (before they did that), and they told me they’ve passed my problem on to their partner Jatol.com and to please wait 48 hours (they told some other people formerly on Jatol 24) for a reply from Jatol. I’ve forwarded one of my bounced emails to Jatol to them to see if that speeds things up at all.

Hopefully this will all be straightened out soon! In the meantime, the current Z7, Ebb’s Children, and Silence in the Darkness on Q16 strips can be seen here.
