maws down???

<< < (3/4) > >>

Haze:
I imagine the majority will end up coming back once they find a new host (although I think all the SOPA stuff is going to make some hosts paranoid about emulation sites)

MAWS, being the attack vector, obviously can't come back unless it gets some serious security fixes, and given the guy running it barely has time to do the minimal required updates these days I don't see it happening.

It's gone, possibly for good.

Yikes. Some people waste their hours on Facebook... I use MAWS. Hope it returns!

FALSE:
I had been spending about 90% of my computer time flipping between maws and creating various gamelists for mala.
I was making such good progress the past couple weeks.
Really hope that the site isn't lost for good.
It's been invaluable to me.  I would NOT have gotten this far in my setup without maws.
Gonna try out some of the links you others posted.

Is there anything the community could do to help?

MAWS is hosted on Mameworld.  It's all the same.

There were a crazy amount of other sites hosted there as well. :cry:
Not just MAWS & the forums, but Mr Do's artwork & compiling, twisty's sound samples....

Thanks for the info Haze.   :cheers:

I thought something else might be going on since it wasn't long ago that they had their annual shutdown for non-payment.

What you said. 

I sure hope their policy regarding hosting sites has changed since back in the day.  I remember when I was starting on the Raging Dragon fe that they offered me some webspace but it was something crazy like I wouldn't have direct access to the server.  In other words I would never be able to backup my stuff. 

I sure hope all the child sites have backups because I doubt they'll get anything back from the hosting company.  :(

FALSE:
Apparently there host has agreed to unsuspend there account if they get there security issue resolved. YAY!
