Nope not just you. I was beginning to think earlier it was just me.

Nope, I have tried several times throughout the day and just tried again. I still cannot get on. I sure hope Rusty knows what is going on because I do not know jack about what to do to get the site back up. I wonder if Rusty's site is down too???

Not good! Tool Talk runs the same software. I will do a backup right now.

Still down at 10:30 Pacific time.

I find http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ helpful to see if it's on my end or a wider issue.

Guys -- I think we have a big problem. No one has heard from Rusty, and since he is the sole owner and caretaker of the server accounts and the forum software, we must assume that he is either unaware of the situation, or that he is incapacitated. As in previous outages, I e-mailed him as soon as I became aware of the problem, but this time I have not received any response.

All of us only have one phone number for Rusty -- and apparently when Harlan (skfarmer) tried to place a call to that number it went to company that is unknown to us. Bottom line -- right now we are off the net for the foreseeable future until someone can get in touch with Rusty. 

I just tried to get in touch with Rusty on the only phone number we have for him, and was told that I had the wrong number. This doesn't look good folks.

Does anyone know Rusty's last name and where he lives?

Goodfellow is absolutely correct in his statement. Until we can make contact with Rusty we are just out of business for who knows how long.

For some reason now that you say that I am thinking his last name is Tackett.
