Inside 3D - WTF?

[MH]

Seems to be going the way of QuakeSrc.org - say it ain't so.

i was about to make a thread about this; but all it would say is

inside3d.com
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

No

what the hell happened? the forum was so active with young talented coders entering the community and modders

[Chip]

Sad

Could it have been hacked? Right now it shows registrar's ads.

A quick whois shows nameserver set to NS1.PENDINGRENEWALDELETION.COM. I hope the owner will renew it in due time.

That's why we needed a database backup.

I hope for the best, I don't think this is the same as the quakesrc.org situation somehow.

[reckless]

Wth ?!?

hmm seems the domain name ran out according to the referal but that was a bit surprising :S

[Dreadlorde]

reckless: Is there an IP address we could go to and access the forums? Or is the server down as well?

[mankrip]

Which IRC channels do their admins use? Did anyone contact them yet?

[mrmmaclean]

Nooooooo! I just got into this stuff! What a great resource gone!!! (?) I hope that's not the case.

Hi guys,

Any idea what happened to I3D ?

[Baker]

The DNS shows an expiration date of 9/25/2010. Registrars always give you a bit of a renewal grace period (10 days usually) and I'm guessing after 5 days you get the generic "registrar page" as a heads up.

So probably how what is going on is different than quakesrc.org is it is unlikely that the database or anything is lost, just that the DNS needs renewed.

/All of that is speculation except the DNS shows expiration of 9/25/2010

Inside3D is run by FrikaC with scarecrow, Error and Dr. Shadowborg having Inside3D staff status. Maybe someone should try to contact FrikaC? As far as I know some of those guys hang out at irc://irc.anynet.org/qc #qc

p.s. I will scarcely be around this next week.
