Ivan's (brukner's) site not working?

Post #1by billybob884 » 27.01.2003, 02:13

I haven't been able to get to brukner's site lately, i've just been getting page timeout messages. Did he move his site? Or is he updating? Or is it just a band width problem? Anyone with any clues please reply.

The computer's up (it responds to ping) but the Web server isn't responding.

I dunno why, though.

Well he hasn't updated the site or posted in here since he anounced he was going on his honeymoon. I am statring to think that the new wifeypoo is taking up all his free time anymore. Maybe we arn't going to here from him anymore and maybe he is just going to let the site slide into the abyss. I hope not he was a great source of add-ons.

Well my point is that his site went down a while back and almost for a month and then it poped back into view. But in the whole time the sites been back online, since like November we have seen nothing of an update, no news , no posts, not anything. This is why I think his site is probably going to have to be replaced or it actualy has in many cases. His site was great in its time but with neglect comes the problem of obsolesence and the site has become obsolete. The images in the gallery have not been updated and the work of Fridger and others such as Rassilon and myself included have made those images in the gallery the stuff of old. Most if not all the files can be downloaded from other Celestia user sites. So in the grand sceme of things I say leave Brukner's site be and don't worry about it. There are other resorces and sites and at least they are showing some updates. Obviously he is to busy with other things to play around with the site anymore or to waste time with us. Time to move on as he seems to have done. I think this discusion can be closed until we here directly from the man himself if and whenever that may be.

if he were to put his site up for one more day (if he really is closing down {dont start any rumors please!}) i could download all the files from him and make them available at another olocation if ever desired or needed.
