So, the site's been down for a while now and I'm starting to lose it.

Any support groups available?

You mean support group as in, "I just can't stand it any longer, I'm gonna go crazy without swgcraft.com online?" ;-) A lot of us are missing this site. I don't know of any other resource like it online, and what I have seen has been out of date and incomplete data.

What to do if swgcraft doesn't come back? Hey, we are Artisan's, lets pool our resources (pun intended) and find a talented developer who can build us a site. We can offer donations through PayPal to offset their expenses. I'm serious about this, the value of a resource management site like swgcraft.com is huge.

I'm hopeful that swgcraft.com will come back online. When it does I will be looking for ways to offer my support to the person(s) who do the work behind the scenes.

Thoughts?

I can offer space for a database, and could put up a nice-looking forum. Don't have the skills to program a database interface from scratch, but there are some canned programs out there that could help us get started.

swgcenter.com has some of the same stuff, but it's not the same I tell you

It is amazingly hard to keep a site like that up... I tried it with swgminer a while ago and failed miserably . I hope they can bring it back.

Let's find out the story here first. We don't want to jump to any conclusions about the site being down permanently. That said, I have the ability to write the software for a site like SWGCraft, though I don't have the server or bandwidth resources to host it.

Throkk has been doing a great job running this site. We need to get a response from him first to figure out what's going on.

i agree with you on that. my letter was an attempt to find out what his intentions are, thats all. I hate to see such great contributions to gaming to end up wasted.

This is terrible I thought it was just my computer.

It is weird how the day they capture Saddam the day swgcraft.com is down hhmmmm....

lol

I wonder if SOE shut them down for some gameplay reason. They've been locking threads on this subject on other boards, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Seems the network route to the host is bad. I did a traceroute fromservers in FL and CA and both give H! at different points. H! ishost unreachable so Everyones Internet may have a router or officer that is down ("Everyones Internet, Inc. EVRY-BLK-1" reports "The destination host is unreachable"). The reverse on the IP for swgcraft points to Everyones Internet as well. Give it a day or two and hopefully it will be corrected.

The router/officer being down is speculation but that isusually the problem we have when we get H! in traceroutes here.

i actually have an account with EV1, Let me see if there is any know problems on their boards

The only thing i can figure out is that EV1 did a major dns change, however that was only for machines that used their dns as resolvers, It should have had no effect on hosted machines, However only time can tell.

For the first time, I finally find a need to go to SWGCraft.com and what happens....
Just my luck
