Dimeadozen Offline...

Hi folks,

Just wanted to let you know that the hosting service took our servers offline without warning as of today, about 12:30 pm CET.

They seem to have received another nice letter from the lawyer(s).

Erwe is currently looking into the matter and tries to get hold of someone from the management. He'll request that the servers will be taken online asap. Might be a bit difficult, as tomorrow is a bank holiday here.

We'll do our best to settle the matter asap and hope to be up and running soon.

Take care!

I'm starting to think these letters are a joke being played by someone. A really stupid joke. It's common knowledge now that anyone can send an official-looking letter to a host and the host will get scared and do what they say no matter what...

Well, if it's not a joke, the site seems to have the spotlights on it now. Wonder how long the mods can keep the spirits up and repeat go on getting it up and running under a different name?

I just remembered another setback here guys... TTD is going to get hit HARD. When I wake up tonight, this site will be down, slowed, or limiting sessions. Am I right?

DDSTree · #7 2005-05-04, 08:15 AM

hopefully not undeath...we should have things in place to prevent that

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Dimeadozen is indeed down for now; I just tried to get on this morning, and could not; after remembering what happened with the previous EZT and the rush to go elsewhere from many of us suddenly shut out, I made an effort to join here asap; I meant to do so even after the crisis abated, but nevertheless I am glad to get on here and hope things continue to run smoothly for all here.

DAMN!

Is there a way to get one of the new Audioslave shows that was posted last night?

Great!!!! That is really good news!

I only hope that this is the definite end of this crappy site that doesn't give shit about quality...

If the quality sucks, why do you go there? Seems to me you're shitting in your own mess kit jerk.

Oh, come now! I know I saw you downloading some of those Harvested torrents last summer! Don't tell me you've gotten nothing of value from them.

If it weren't for EZT/DIME, I know there's quite a few artists I'd have next to nothing of: Porcupine Tree, Pavement/Stephen Malkmus, Super Furry Animals, The Verve, and many others.
