I found an alternative email address for him, so I've tried that.

He'll probably come back here after being on holidays and have a good chuckle at our concerns. :)
Then he'll be like, "Damn, I forgot to pay the webhosting bill before I left!". :D

this is purely conjecture... but it is the same hosts that srod uses but the domain privacy on a whois doesn't prove it conclusively. [edit]and a quick google search seems to link it to a lot of srods sites...[/edit]

[EDIT]

Now even the link above, previously accessible, stopped working. It's almost like someone he's deleting stuff a piece at a time.

I remember one of the last things srod said in this forums was something about somebody
has hacked into his site and the software on it. His provider send him a message about
a virus on his site or in his software or something like this.
He wanted to install a script to change the software back if it gets changed?

Don't remember exactly, but it was a little bit... umm... crazy story?

well either way it would appear to the case, he's either been hacked or his sites have suffered from a server update. just view the source

I tried to contact Stephen using both his personal and business email addresses. No response yet unfortunately. I do hope he is OK, it's been a month since his last post.

Gosh darn it :evil: This site needs more humor...

A funny sign someone passed to me...
Sign wrote:Attention: campers and hunters are cautioned to wear bells to avoid surprising local bears and carry pepper spay in case of an encounter.
Be aware of the differences between black bear and grizzly bear scat. Black bear scat is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur.
Grizzly bear feces has bells in it and smells like pepper.

Well, my theory is that sRod is re-vamping his web sites and at the same time decided to change Host and possibly ISP too. That would knock-out most communication paths.

The funny part here is that you're giving a link into your gmail account, so we can't see it. Is that the modern version of giving a link to ones files on the c:\drive ?
