What's up with nightscrawlers.com?

Post by Technical Administrator »

If you're visiting this site as nightscrawlers.co.uk, then you probably already know that there are problems with the nightscrawlers.com domain. Some people are seeing an advertising page for tractors and such and some people are not, depending on their ISP.

Our problem is that the nightscrawlers.com domain has in fact expired; unfortunately, we had not been watching it closely and the member of the Triumvirate in control of its registration is currently offline/on vacation because his cable modem is not working.

Therefore, the entire forum has been switched to use the domain name nightscrawlers.co.uk, which is under our direct control. Please use this domain, and please direct others there as well.

We apologize for the inconvenience. This should be fixed as soon as possible.

Thank you,
-Technical Administrator

The domain has been fixed as of 1:30pm CST.

If you are still getting the advertising site it means that your ISP has to update again with the renewed domain, however all that should be over with in about 12 hours.

Most of you should have experienced no break or only a brief break in service.

The admin team is always trying to improve our processes - obviously we have some room for improvement here. :)

Thanks for your patience,

Since the forum settings have been switched back to nightscrawlers.com (and the redirection has been put back in place), you may need to log in again to nightscrawlers.com (though it's unlikely) if you have been using nightscrawlers.co.uk for the last day.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you,

We're now Nightscrawlers, the Tractor Depot! Didn't you hear?

Yeah... It's a new direction the triumvirate has been planning for the board. We're really excited about it. I hope you guys are too.
