I also get that agricultural site??

Looks like they need to renew their domain name.

Who has the direct IP address?

Brian, your dns might need updating.. or vice versa....

What do you mean. I can't see an issue. Even with a hard refresh I still get the correct site. Did you click the link I posted http://www.farkin.net/

Andy Bloot's picture

I just shut my whole machine down thinking it was computer specific
I have also tried my wifes computer in the meantime
And it goes to the agricultural site as well
I don't think there's much we can do from this end???
Just wait and hope the mods from Farkin can fix it up

This domain has expired. Click here to renew it.

What does domain expired mean

Brian's picture

That's bizarre because I just logged in and it was ok as well. Checked a couple of posts (last one 4:49pm) and all good.

and worried - I'm an addict
it won't work
No matter where I go - even into the selection where it says Australian mountain bike forums
Click the link and get that agricultural site with the pukey chick smiling at me

If their domain did expire some of you will have cached DNS records with the correct IP address in from before the expiration all working well. Some of you will have tried to access farkin.net between the expiry and renewal though, and your name server will not have had a cached entry - at which time it will have asked the registrar for a DNS server and will have been given a dodgy one that hands out an IP address pointing to the dodgy registrar's services. Thing is, that dodgy IP is would now be cached in various name servers around the 'net so some of you will see that for a while 'til those records expire.

Come on people - it's not rocket science! Sticking out tongue

Andy Bloot's picture

So how long till those records expire
or in lay terms
When will I be able to log in again?

Andy, try this for now:

Stuart M's picture

Andy are you ok?

Dylans link kind of worked - it went to farkin, but with no graphics
But it wouldn't let me log in
Then when I clicked forums, it went to another page
Not the agri page, but not farkin either
At least the photos are not cheesy girls, but motor bikes instead
Maybe I just need to wait and it will sort itself out?

no luck this morning, farkin.net is nowhere to be farkin seen!

Works for me. must be glitch somewhere

Andy Bloot's picture

I've just logged in successfully
And in the forums there is a lot of people with the same problem (going to a different site)
Just keep trying or wait it out an it should come back
Hopefully
What did we do before computers?
Talk to each other?
Good luck

Boooooo ... still stuffing about ... I'll actually have to work now

Andy Bloot's picture

A lot of people in the same boat
By tonight you should be OK
The mods are aware and onto it

dangersean's picture
