Has GWW shut down?

Re: Has GWW shut down?

Still down for me today, have you heard anymore from Gary Bec?

Re: Has GWW shut down?

GWW was hosted with NatNet last I knew, and as of just now, condomcash and gww both still resolve to NatNet.

Something else is obviously going on, because both CondomCash and GWW are down, and they are on completely different servers (condomcash is on 69.50.130.176, GWW is on 66.115.136.184.)

So it can’t be a disk crash.

Hopefully somebody can get in touch with Lee and find out what’s up.

Re: Has GWW shut down?

And wouldnt it have been up again by now… I mean now days even if servers crash, hard disks fails etc… it doesnt take that long to get it back up.

Re: Has GWW shut down?

no, I haven’t. But I did go back and re-read his response and see something there that I didn’t “catch” first time around. His answer was “server problem$”

Re: Has GWW shut down?

I saw that too. I find that hard to be a typo.

Re: Has GWW shut down?

I think hes saying they didnt pay the bill. Im not that surprised. I mean Condom Cash sites are not likely to win any massive awards with their 1 page tours. There is a reason why Lee didnt ever want reviews done and its not because he was scared of getting a great review LOL Also I cant believe that many people want to advertise on gww. Its hardly where the gay side of the industry get their news.

Re: Has GWW shut down?

With that note:

“No site configured at this address”

The server is working. There is just nothing in there.

I just tested this on one of my sites.
I took my index page.
Wiped everything out and just put in “No site configured at this address”

It looked live just like GWW dose.

So The site is up and working fine. That page was made to say that by the webmaster.

Just food for thought.

Re: Has GWW shut down?

I have to disagree with part of your statement Marc. At least for me personally, GWW is a major networking hub for my contacts. While I belong to quite a few boards, Gaydemon and GWW are two of the few I spend much time reading. Most of the others I simply glance at for any new threads or updates to threads of interest. I’ve missed GWW and I truely hope that everything is alright with Lee. He’s a great guy and has been very supportive of our community, both on the Internet and his local community in Daytona Beach. I won’t assume or speculate on any reasons for GWW and CondomCash’s sudden absence. Operating GWW, CondomCash AND a night club are three full time jobs and I am sure Lee is feeling the strains. Lee will contact us, either personally or through someone trustworthy such as Bec and all will be revealed.

Re: Has GWW shut down?

Lee if you are having problem$ and want to sell your sites please get in touch.
cs @ barebacked.com thanks

Re: Has GWW shut down?

I agree that I’ve always found GWW to be a necessary part of my day. While I can’t say I agree with or approve a lot of what Lee has said or done, I’ve never bashed him or his sites out of respect for what he has/had created via the GWW community.

Gary did not elaborate, merely a short message, and said they’d be OK. We’ve all faced sudden problem$ … I’m sure not one to jump onto some smear campaign while they sort it out. It’d feel like I was tossing TP into the trees of my own house.

Fair enough… I have zero respect for Lee but I probably shouldnt have posted any of that, even if I do think its true.

Im very sorry.

Re: Has GWW shut down?

Actually, if I go to GWW from IE7 I get that message, if I go to it from within AOL, I get a standard 404 page not found message. So there isn’t a webmaster created index page in play.

Re: Has GWW shut down?

I am not sure how it looks at AOL.
If I go to any other page other than the main one I get the 404 page too.

I do wish LEE all the best. I like to go to GWW too. I hope it comes back.

But GWW is live and I just looked at the index page and it is set up like I thought it was.
It’s a live index page. Maybe the host put it there? I dont know.
But someone put it there.

Re: Has GWW shut down?

You can get the error message from a server crash.

I don’t want to speculate, but most server crashes are fixed within a short period of time.

Re: Has GWW shut down?

I’m guessing a default page then by the host.

Re: Has GWW shut down?

Is it possible they didn’t have the money to renew those domains?

Re: Has GWW shut down?

Yes.

That and sitting at the lunch table with the same people day in and day out can get to be a drag.

Re: Has GWW shut down?

LOL, now we all have to admit that a real boy at a real table is a LOT more fun than us cyber types! lol
