If I notice people are going to the IP, I'll add host headers to the Apache config...

This is a temp server. We may move to a new host at any point, or even to a new VM on the current server (one built for the task this time!), hence IP may change at any point without warning...

Ok....it appears VXon has noticed my link in my sig....and changed it to point to Vxon....i could say a choice few words at this point.....but dont think its worth it.....

But hey ive deleted that link and added a new one  ;) in my sig on vxon

www.decomputerservices.ltd.uk

Wonder how long they will take to notice that one!!  :-?

If you click on the link and it takes you to a 'holding' page.....give it an hour......its takes the DNS a while to take account of changes  ;)

Cheers

Bet BT will suck at DNS updates, Autotrader changed theirs at the weekend, took BT 2 days for the DNS to take affect on their servers  >:(

I have not used VM Ware in ages, i ermm 'patched' a copy for it to work, it was very usefull at the time for the programs i wanted to run. I orginally got it to run Mac OSX but it was not supported. Not been to their site for ages, do they support it now due to the Intel based Macs?

BT's DNS servers obey the TTL. If BT's DNS servers didn't update for 2 days, that would be the muppets at Autotrader not reducing the TTL before moving servers...

Sorry m8:

DNS: Domain Name Service - Changing domain names (google.co.uk) into ip address

TTL: Time To Live - This is basically a 'self destruct' for packets, if they get bounce around so many times they die... if packets did not have TTL value then the internet would ground to a halt....


Wow i remember something from lectures!  :o

I think we should all stand back and let them get on with it  over there
after all we are a forum for drivers of a Gentlemans carriage of distinction and quality
not the young louts and ner do wells that populate the "other site" driving there little cars hung with
spoilers (kev)!!!!!!

My only concerns are this

1) Omega owners not getting the support there they could here - with THREATS made against anyone mentioning this place. The THREATS are what caused me to get annoyed and what also caused me to get my membership cancelled (also at any other site I have used personal abuse from a mod would result in losing admin privilages)

2) The way that they are blocking this site, this is actually rude, most internet forums are happy to allow mention of similar but not quite the same forums, this is common in the electronics area where www.avforums.com (UK), www.avsforum.com (US) know all about each other with some shared membership, but no competition, or when mentioning TV with regards to digitalspy. There are a few others but it is good for all.

Apart from that let them get on with it - they are losing out not us!

I have to agree to forget about them,
I've PM'd a few new members suggesting they will get more / better help here, not suggesting they shouldnt remain there or anything, but no names I PM'd ever arrived here, and someone obviously took offence and 'dobbed me in' and got me banned.  No trouble to re-reg I know, but I wouldn't waste time over there.

I pop in there most days to see whats for sale or if anything useful is about, but there rarely is any more.
