Hello out there,
accessing the original garden site with the etc/hosts entry works like a charm... but... Registration still does not work. So for newbies like me, I can read the posts, but can't access anything else.
Any suggestions here?
I don't know what to say as we have not any news from the administrator since the site is reachable (there was not only a dns issue, even the IP was unreachable shortly).
The site is not in normal activity atm.
edit: it seems registration with gmail is possible
OK
A lot of us are back in the main place because we have seen on different forums the wonderfull trick from FRX and we have updated our hosts file.
Now I think it's time to go one step beyond if we want to keep this place hidden...
You know what to do to update this hosts file, send PM to the peoples you know and trust to tell them how to do.
And delete the posts you may have made on the forums regarding the new way to access there (That's what I am am going to do for my own posts!)...
I have curently access to the site by his IP, dunno how long it will remain.
edit : to access it as usual, you have to add the line in the hosts file of your system (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on windows OS )
ex:
you can find the IP of the site by google (search " 'sitename' IP ")
FRX - YOU HERO!!!I'm back in too!!
Thank you!
Ok, I must be doing something wrong as well. Could someone please help with instructions.
Yeah,man, same here. I used to share my models back here in ULMF if I recall. But at RazzleDazzle I was quiet and lurking like a damn troll.Thank you FRX. I'm not sure if we can "relax" yet, but this will be a good temporary fix until our admins notify us.
I've rarely posted anywhere, so relatively unknown, but this close call has woken me up, so to speak. Looking forward to sharing some models, at least
Lastly, many thanks to Nunu and ULMF members for putting us up and putting up with some of us. Since the last incident where we all met here I have kept my account active and hope to have time to explore its other forums.
Your kindness and tolerance is very much appreciated
Now to wait and see if this is permanent...
Everyone have a good weekend![]()
when you will learn about the secrecy of your own!Damn your mentioned site is also in trouble now.we dont need such a member who creating problem for his own and the community...I'm gettin' kinda used to sleeping under the bridge - not that I like it all that much; at least it's not too cold at night...not yet, anyway
thought I was gonna have to take a pre-employment physical to get on that Klub 70...would like to hear Oz' explanation...
what made the Garden and it's predecessor (ULMF last year) so EPICLY GREAT was how many new people were drawn in. I was able to post a few models and sound files along the way so I wasn't a total deadbeat, and those sites made it easy to post files...but the idea of making this some kind of exclusive "Klub" where only the chosen few belong kinda defeats the purpose of the whole thing...
and I certainly don't understand these DNS issues the Garden is having...thought that site was as immune as could be...how do you let yur Domain "expire"?
By the way, can't access that **********, either...hmmn
ok, just rambling on a bit, cause there's nothing else to do for the time being; just tryin' to stay cool...hope you all do the same
Regards to all![]()
