Just wanted to let you know that our site is down and we've been unable to contact our webmaster. Unfortunately, He's got most of the site and files. If I'm unable to get into contact with him I'll be transfering it to a new host to at least get email up. I'm not sure when we'll have a website though :(

Please call us if you've tried to email us within the last 5 or 6 days. 866 700-4MMS

Sorry for the inconvenience,

 

Bummer - sounds like the same guy who had the West Coast Corvette Challenge site - phones disconnected....

 

Steve - right you are. If you get this guys license plate number, I will be very happy.

Mike - we were also abandoned by the webmaster that we share in common.

When I last talked to him he claimed that he was hit by the wormblaster virus. He said it wouldn't impact the server that had our website. He also said he'd call me back in a week to give me an update. He didn't call back. That was 10 days ago. Our site went down mid-week, last week.

E-mail to him is returned with permanent fatal server errors.

No return phone calls - both his business and cell phone have been disconnected. I don't think that viruses disable phone lines. :mad

Extra bummer is that we had paid for our domain name and he never transferred it to us. In addition, we paid him in advance for the domain name and website administration as well, for the entire year. Extra :mad

If anyone has contact with this individual, name is ALAN STAD, aka ALAIN STAD, please let me know so I can - again - try and get our domain name transferred to us. No muss, no fuss, no attorneys.

We're a charity event at the West Coast Corvette Challenge and we would just like to be able to continue enjoying the name recognition that the domain name brought us.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry to here about the domain name problem. Nothing is ever simple is it :)

anyways, mmsracing.com is on a new host and the nameservers should all be updated within 24-48 hours. Unfortunately I don't have a website :(, but at least email will work.

Hopefully I can get all my files soon. I have a lot invested into the site, if not back the drawing board.

 

Sorry to hear about your problems. I run my own web agency and it really burns me up when I hear horror stories like this.

But like in the performance world it's like dealing with a backyard mechanic or taking your Vette to a professional high-performance shop with a track record. In this case, some fly-by-night HTML "guy" or a high end web shop.

If you guys need to start from scratch...give me a shout...my company can do wonders for you :yesnod: www.pod9.com or email me pham@pod9.com

Hopefully things work out all well for you!

Best,
Anhtuan

 

Thanks for the offer.

Apparently I'm not the only one out a website.

Good news though is that the email should be working providing the DNS change has propagated to all the nameservers.

 

I know the guy who does the website for wccc and he is at Carlsbad Raceway like every weekend. I'm going Sunday, if I see him I will pass the message along.

 

Hi Forest - many thanks. I may be down at Carlsbad myself this weekend if the weather is cool enough.

Again, just tell Al that all we want from him is to legally transfer the domain name to us. We will pay for any and all reasonable costs associated with this even though we have already paid him for this before. Whatever it takes.

Have a great raceday!

Gary
