Title: Dragon Booster Fan Site?


Et<laayz> - November 20, 2006 12:51 AM (GMT)
Does anybody know what happened to Dragon Booster Fan Site (http://www.dragon-city.org/webrings.htm). Every time I click on it, is says it no longer exists?

Yeah.
Furox's hosting company is having problems, so they temporarily shut the web site down while they make repairs. :(
(Just incase you didn't know, Furox is the Guy who made this webpage, and maintains it with the help of a hosting company, so if the hosting company falls, the website falls.)

Hope it gets up and starts running again. I was planning on going to Word's Image Archive and getting pics for my sig. They had good links there.... Anybody know when they'll fix the problem?

Dragon-City.org is Back! :dance:

Man, what a dragon-sized headache this was for me. I left on two weeks vacation on Nov. 6th, and the hosting company I was using had some kind of major problem on Nov. 9th. They never got my site back online and wouldn't respond to any support requests. Naturally, this had to happen just after I left town when I couldn't really do much about it. I need to be at my home computer in order to do something major like moving the site to a new server. I never found out what happened with them, but if you ever decide to run your own web site, DON'T use vizaweb.com.

I signed up with a new hosting service this last Sunday so my account would be all setup and ready the moment I got home, and guess what happened: for some reason that is still unknow, my ISP (Comcast) won't route traffic to the particular server my site was to be located on! Of all the millions of computers connected to the Internet, they pick the one that I need to use and won't send traffic to it. That means I got home and couldn't upload any files to the new server. Nor could any Comcast customer view the web site even if I could have uploaded it. Since Comcast is a major ISP in the USA, this was an unworkable situation. So I canceled that account and setup another new account with a third hosting service. I guess the third time is the charm, cause this one seems to be working.

I uploaded the site to the server this morning (all 7400+ files) and initiated the domain name server change to point dragon-city.org at the new server. DNS changes take up to 36 hours to propagate their way across the Internet, but dragon-city.org should start working again soon. If you're using a major ISP, they've probably already picked up the DNS change and will route you to the new server. If not, it should start working again within a day. Note you may have to hit reload to get that temporary page I put up out of your browser's cache and view the real site again.

If the DNS change hasn't reached you yet, you can access the site directly by using this URL:

http://70.98.54.41/~dragonci

That should take you to the front page no matter what and it should be working right now. You should be able to use www.dragon-city.org again within a day if it's not already working (remember to hit reload).

I hope my web hosting company troubles are over now so I can get back to work on creating content for the site instead of dealing with these hassles. It figures this had to happen just as I left on vacation. Any other time and I could have moved to a new server much sooner.

Anyway, the fan site is back with more new content on the way! :dance:

That is good to here, Dragon-City.org is one of the few sites where you can get reasonably accurate information. (sorry about the lack of enthusiasm, but it is 2:52 in the morning ;) )

Well, I do my best to be very accurate. ;) If you see something that's wrong or out of date, please let me know.

If anyone is interested, I'm working on a bunch of new stuff for the site, including a browse-able card library for the trading card game. Eventually, you'll be able to query the library as well (like "display all blue maneuvers with energy cost 2" or "find all cards that affect Beau", for example). Got another episode summary coming soon, too. And of course, lots more fan art. :dance:
