It seems as though it's down. Are you popping over to MATH Plus One from there? If so, welcome.

If not, well, you know you're welcome too.

It was down when I checked last week, but I haven't been by lately. I wonder what's the deal?

Hardcore Squishettes, can you verify?

-- Anonymous, September 17, 2001

Hmm, I guess I could be considered a "hardcore squishette". Honestly I'm not sure what's wrong with it. I own the site, but my computer got thrown in the pool, by my now, ex-fiance. I really don't know how to fix it, and all of my maintenance information is now gone forever. I feel really badly about it, because I know people don't know what's going on.

I've been coming here more lately anyway, kind of more private if you know what I mean.

Lord! Sorry to hear about that, of course.

Aww, KC, I'm really sorry. Obviously whatever you need to do is more important than the Squishettes board.

-- Anonymous, September 17, 2001

Yeah, the computer in the pool sucked of course. I just wish I knew how to fix the site. I really don't know anything about this stuff. He built the site for me, so for all I know, he took it down too.

KC! That's terrible! What a jag.

I had been wondering about Squishettes, too. I don't read it everyday, but I do pop in once in a while and I had noticed it wasn't working.

(Oh yeah... This is my first post! Yay, me!)

KC! I'm so sorry.

Did you register the domain or did he? Because if you have the password you could at least put up a new index page and just tell people that it's down, you're sorry, you're doing what you can etc. and redirect them to pamie's greenspun forum or something.

-- Anonymous, September 17, 2001

I registered the domain, but he has the password. I'm not even sure who I registered it with. Sucks. Hopefully most of the squishettes are here, and they now know what's going on.

-- Anonymous, September 17, 2001

Man, KC, I'm sorry. Throwing computers in the pool is, like, so silly. And mean.

Would it be too much to ask him the password? Or, since you registered the domain, you could just call your host and tell them you forgot it, and I bet they'd give it to you.

Throwing a computer in a swimming pool. That is so wrong. Be glad he's an EX. He needs an anger management class.

Looking up "squishettes.com" on who is, it says this:

Domain Name: SQUISHETTES.COM Registrar: GO DADDY SOFTWARE, INC. Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com Referral URL: http://registrar.godaddy.com Name Server: NS.ADDR.COM Name Server: NS2.ADDR.COM Updated Date: 08-jul-2001

The IP number eventually says the site is owned??? by above.net

I hope that helps you out or jogs your memory. If it is owned in your name, you can always cancel or move it. :)

Since there is no actual name or address on any of this, I went ahead and posted it instead of sending it to the Squishette address. I don't want JAGGY (hey where's Scooby? LOL!! er . . . .maybe not) finding out all of this beforehand.

-- Anonymous, September 17, 2001

Yeah, I won't get mail at squishettes at all. So please don't send mail there.

-- Anonymous, September 17, 2001

KC, maybe you could post an explanation or note to the Squishettes crowd on ThreeWay Action? I spread the word in the chat room, and I know there were some interested parties in there. And you could supply an alternate email address, too.

Now I've butted in. Feel free to tell me to mind my bizness.

-- Anonymous, September 17, 2001

wow. that is so mean! the computer in the pool !! how wrooong. I got email and IMs from a few people wondering what happened to squishettes and all I could say was I emailed KC and had not gotten word, but it seems like it crashed. hah. well, at least now I know what happened and why no explanation. I was worried there for a second.

and yeah, calling the hosting company or emailing them about it might work though it took me through hell and high water to get my one domain reregistered due to not knowing any info and my email disappearing.

:(

I do hope it gets back up sometime. I really liked modding. it was a new thing for me. hee!

..though I do like MATH+1 too - been reading awhile and finally posted a few times the other week. y'all rock.

-- Anonymous, September 17, 2001

Well, one of the squishettes has volunteered to help me get this thing back on track. Hopefully it will work out, and the site will be back up and running. I make no guarentees, but worst case scenario I can at least get in there to post a message telling people to come here.

KC, that's good news. Good luck!

I want to say hello to amber & KC -- this is CaseK -- and state for the record that this is terrifically bogus. I say "Shmeh." This whole thing makes me very sad; it reminds me of my divorce.

Oh, hi to you, too, Melissa. My big ass was blocking my full view of the people that I actually knew here.

I was wondering what happened at Squishette, feel free to wander over and use my forums if you like. It's a free service so no pool issues.

Ah. Somebody needs to throw me in the pool.

We'll I just tried out Squishette again and it's totally dead. I realized that perhaps my original forum isn't very much like Squishy or Squishette so I created a new place all together, I hope you'll come and make it your home until Squishette is up and running again. I really miss all you guys and I hope you can spread the word that there is a place to hang out in the mean time.

We at MATH+1 are all for togetherness, and happiness, and squishiness, and all that good stuff.

We also reserve the right to ask that y'all refrain from pimping your own boards while you are at MATH+1.

-- Anonymous, September 25, 2001

oh man. hah. I was going to pimp mine once it's done :\

it's not really a squishy tribute forum though..it's for my own site - on my site, blabla...can I pimp it in the website thread when it's done? hee! I have no shame, y'all.

Has anyone heard updates on Squishettes? Are things beginning to get sorted out or is Squishettes gone for good?

-- Anonymous, October 03, 2001

I'm not sure if squishettes is ever coming back, but my forum's now open for business and some of the old crew is there!

since I don't want to be breakin' any rules here, if you'd like a link, just email or go to my site; it's linked there :)

-- Anonymous, October 03, 2001

I feel bad pimping the board here you guys... but I also know that many people that wanted Squishettes back post here.

I paid for the hosting, I tried to get the .com domain moved (KC? Did you fall off the face of the earth?), so we're either .net or .org Both are pointed at the same place.

So, to recap...it is up, it is empty, it is in desperate need of suggestions.

Rowen, don't you think you could have at least taken a shot at not ripping off ThreeWay Action's forums? "All About You?" "The Real World?"

-- Anonymous, November 25, 2001

It's changed. Didn't mean to step on any toes Sara. It was late and I knew that eventually I'd change things...didn't realize I'd piss people off. Sorry.

MATHletes, please feel free to go pimp this place over at the new board. It's the least I can do for letting me answer over here.

Is the .net down now also? It's not loading.
