I kept getting a search engine for my forum links! Boy, no wonder they always preach to take notes on your cooks. One day this forum could just up and vanish!

Their domain name registration expired. Someone forgot to pay the bill. But they've renewed it and it looks like we're good for another five years.
Think there is more going on then that. I haven't been able to get on since it started, until just a few minutes ago...sure felt lonely!
Cal, you poor thing, you had withdrawal longer than most of us 
I couldn't get on for a while, then I got on later in the night. The next day, I tried to use a link (or something) on my Android phone and got back to the bad place...I don't know if it was pointing to something old in the address, I can't explain it, but it is all good yesterday and today.

When I saw I has access on my iPad, but not my phone,
I cleared the history and caches
Life was better afterwards

Yea. I couldn't get on for quite awhile until later in the day. My wife caught me laying in the hall closet in the fetal position sucking my thumb. I'm better now.
ROFLMAO
When I couldn't get onto the forum I felt like I'd lost a good friend. I was wishing I had a way to know you all outside of this forum. (names and email addresses).
I felt a great loss. I am glad the forum is back!

I smoked some ribs with my exchange items and felt much better!
Has anyone heard from MaxQue? I saw on the Cook Shack facebook that he was having troubles getting on the forum.
I don't know if it helped, but I reached out to Becky this morning by e-mail, telling her of my troubles.

I made meatloaf with my exchange items and enjoyed the change from my usual rub/sauce. Variety is the spice of life!

Yea, I caught that one also when I saw the dreaded Network Solutions default page. Checked Whois and saw that they were cancelled due to NP, then later renewed.
Sure is a foolish thing for a site administrator to allow to happen. The forum going down is one thing, but to have all ecommerce shut off is something else altogether.
Think I would be looking for a new administrator.
There is a separate admin contact & technical contact, not necessarily the same person.
I was trying to get on at least 10X over the weekend. Was expecting the worst
How is Cookshack fairing in our rotton economy?

Nope it was just that. The domain registration needed to be renewed and it was. The internet then takes a little time to "register" the name around the world to point to the CS servers.
All is well and good.
Sorry for the withdrawals. I saw it too on Sunday and contacted CS immediately.
