Maybe the hits to the site were too much for the servers to handle, and they went up in smoke:)

Likely story…sounds like CBS is behind this.

You know, if this was the right-wing equivalent of DU, we'd all be questioning the timing of this fire right now, and suspecting a dirty-tricks op by James Carville or something....

And if we _were_ DU, we'd be saying Karl Rove did it to frame the DNC...

Thanks for getting that out, Bill. With all the weird happenings at the same time that CBS recants ('without admitting' to the forgeries, source, and it's own REAL culpability on this matter), it wouldn't be hard to drift into 'conspiracy theories'. Retired AF and a Texan...

I question the timing of this fire.

I'm having the best month in my two year history (people need a little break from politics now and then) and boom, the web host shuts down...

Damn the liberal media for making you friggin' bloggers so popular they kill the servers... lol

What would Mulder say?

Could this See-BS truck have been in front of the web host minutes before?

Note the smaller sign inside the windshield.

I think Mulder would say exactly what Dan Rather said:

"I want to believe!"

More like this lately (courtesy the blogosphere): "You know, sometimes, it just gets really hard to smile through it when they ask you to bend down and grab your ankles."

If someone could get a message to Ratherbiased.com, the host is back up and running and if he isn't up he should call between 7-8pm central.

RatherBiased Site

It's a p2p distributed web hosting that should be used on any site that is under heavy load, append
.nyud.net:8090/ to the url of any site, and as long as the web site is still working good enough for the caching servers to grab a copy, anyone using the link above gets to access the site off the distributed servers instead of the original site. For sub pages, you need to append the line above to the end, ie:

http://www.indcjournal.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=971.nyud.net:8090/


if you just use it for the front (index) page, and then click on the links on the page, it won't work, you have to append .nyud.net:8090/ to the end of every url, and probably remove any trailing slashes of the original url first, if it has one

(ie: http://www.indcjournal.com/example/.nyud.net:8090/


probably won't work,
http://www.indcjournal.com/example.nyud.net:8090/


probably will).
