Bingo.
Add the following line to your hosts file:
69.80.198.27 my350z.com www.my350z.com

Yup.. that totally confirms that they let thier DNS expire.. Thet just need to renew thier DNS name.. and we should be back to normal ... although I do have to say.. I think I like 350z tech allot better...

+1 Their Garage setup kicks ***. I just uploaded a bunch of pics and added all my mods in the tech Garage section. If only we could get all the Mid-A member to move to tech. Their regional forums are non exisistent.

They did it on purpose so that deltafarce will never figure out how to get here.

Notice this was posted on 350Z tech.......


I don't know... I'm pretty sure that only sunlight or fire can kill that site. I am sure it's just a small hiccup, then it'll be back to business as usual. On the other hand, if they are gone for good...

When I was a boy a friend of mine lived next door to this crazy shut-in woman whose house was literally infested with mice and cockroaches. One night the house burned down. Did it kill all of the vermin? I am sure some lost their lives, but no, they just moved to the neighboring homes and infested them instead.

Regards,
Ronin Z

Everyone moved over to www.*********.com/forums/ (should read: 350z -tech without the space) it seems. Well, at least the more active members did. Haven't been there in ages but it's good to be back there.

I am about to give up on this new address. I cannot get into several forums because they link to here: http://samurize2.com/. Very frustrating.

They let the domain expire. Don't you get the "domain expired" message when you try to access the site? Like I said, add the IP entry to your hosts file for now and you will be able to use the site and everything that links to it should work. The hosts file is in the system32\drivers\etc folder under windows.

How they let it expire is another thing altogether. I mean all of the registration hosts I've ever used send alerts to the domain registrant prior to expiration...like a million times. Plus its relatively quick once you pay to re-activate. Admins?

I couldn't get here all day, it sucked...haven't had a single problem from my home pc though...it seems like the site is down at work and up when i get home. You can't fathom how bored i am without this site...i feel like a waterpark in the middle of a snow storm...useless.

Anywho, i went off to another place on the entarwab and it was great...lots of familiar faces...errrr...screen names there today also.

sorry guys, if i knew anything i would tell, but I know what you know, actually I found out through these threads.

I'm sure the admins are doing what they can to get the site back up and running, just try to be patient.

I knew yesterday that this was a simple case of a DNS problem... I did a whois query on the domain name.... it was set to update yesterday so something obviously went awry with the update. What exactly, it does not matter. It will be fixed soon enough. DNS is simply the service that translates human text address ex: https://my350z.com into computer intelligible address ex: http://69.80.198.27/ The server is obviously still working.

Domain Name: MY350Z.COM
Registrar: INTERCOSMOS MEDIA GROUP, INC. D/B/A DIRECTNIC.COM
Whois Server: whois.directnic.com
Referral URL: http://www.directnic.com
Name Server: NS2.NAMAESERVER.COM
Name Server: NS3.NAMAESERVER.COM
Status: clientDeleteProhibited
Status: clientTransferProhibited
Status: clientUpdateProhibited
Updated Date: 30-jan-2007

All the people on the other Z sites moaning and groaning (and the mods deleting/editing posts on how to get to my350z.com) are seriously cracking me up. How amusing.
