CWStatus.com is down because the regular Cyberwings page is going tobe up soon. Just a good sign, nothing to worry about.

lol.

Yes, the fact that pretty much every Web site tied to CyberWings is down is clearly a vindication of this corporate powerhouse. I join Wolfgang in tipping my hat.

cwstatus.com was on RackShack and they did say they were taking it down.

cyberwings.com's nameservers have been updated yesterday to the new DC, but there is still no ping on those namservers.

It looks like he may have cyberwings.com up today or tomorrow.

The sad thing is that even though there was some speculation of perhaps getting the law/FBI/whoever involved so that CW's customers might get some sort of vindication, that stuff that was put up on CW status the other day was clearly the rantings of a madman and would probably be sufficient to get him off of any charges brought against him. I've shown it to just about everyone I know. Even people who've never heard of cw or anandtech. Most of them thought it was some sort of joke. If only it were.

BTW, I heard from a source I consider reliable that he heard from a source he considers very solid that this RS downtime is indeed an issue of non-payment.

The real difference here: there's no "what crappy service!" justification. (LS, primae facie, deserved not to be paid, unless the problem somehow turned out to be CW's. Not so here, it appears.)

Assuming a lack of tech problems, I cannot think of any likely good reason for non-payment.

It'll be very interesting to hear what Shawn says about this, if anything beyond "it's confidential."

You know, I never watched soap operas or understood why people would ever watch them.... until now.

I have been followign the biggest nerd soap opera to hit AT in a long time. Tons of plot twists, deception, trampled emotions, I am sucked in to the hilt. Somewhere in the following episode's there will be a coma and an amnesia vicitim, a bastard child reunited with her father who slept with the preist, lots of infidelity... and that is just the servers.


What if, now just work with me here, we pull back the curtain and see the wizard merely is a chubby guy sitting in his living room with 3 servers all sharing his cable modem. The Premeir Cyberwings Data Center (PCDC) shares the closet with the litterbox for the Official Cyberwings Mascot (OCM) and the Unlimited Cyberwings Cheetoh Stockpile (UCCS).

I don't know about all that.....but I do hear that they run their NICs in promiscuous mode.

I agree with you. This has been very entertaining. I almost cant wait for qwad, monty and their foil wolfie (who I consider the incarnate CEO) to post a new angle and enlighten us further. BTW your allegory to the plot twists was also ROFLMAOoooooooooooooffffffffffffffffff was also quite entertaining.

Also anyone who breaks this thread and starts a new one is almost as much of a noob as the CEO.

A little update, from the horse's mouth: Cyberwings does have good, full backups of the Plesk and Cobalt RackShack servers in Texas as of yesterday, July 18, including DBs.

It may be that the move is on. But that is speculation, and incredible if true, given the lack of tactical warning. (There've been plenty of "backup Texas servers NOW" message from Cyberwings in the last few days, however. Still, it'd be good to have the day and the hour, and not just the week, month, or year!)

Not that anything with CW is ever by the seat of their pants, though.

Something is happening with the nameservers. Looks like the ball is rolling:

>whois cyberwings.com

Registrant:
CYBERWING COMMUNICATIONS HOSTMASTER

Registrar: Cyberwing Communications (http://www.secureserver.net)
Domain Name: CYBERWINGS.COM

Domain servers in listed order:

An IPWHOIS of 66.250.151.5 at samspade.org (http://www.samspade.org/t/ipwhois?a=66.250.151.5) gives you:

My friend, we probably have the same reliable source, I am so glad.

In addition to the information above, they also send me and internal letter that the Chief has send to staff -



"I wanted to congratulate you all on a job well done in dodging questions on the IRC channel. I am too busy to do it my self. I just spend the last 6 hrs surfing at howtheydoit.com and trying to learn some networking terms, so next time I will be more prepared to answer those naysayer all about our servers. Please, if you don't see your checks in the mail this week, I give you my word that they are coming.

It is hard for me to understand how all this big corporations like Cogent, Lightship and even that smarmy place, rackshack in Texas, all want me to pay so much money to them. I started this venture to help the community and I lost so far $ 140,000 doing that, (see my cwstatus.com page), and talking about cwstatus.com, the site will be up as soon as I can recharge this old IBM laptop batteries and boot it up.

I am not in any "meltdown stage" as some of my non followers would want me to be, I have spend lately so many hours trying to figure out the servers, (boy I wish I would study that stuff at school rather from this stupid help menus) and now I am in need for a short vacation, after all that the naysayer did to me.

You know, how dumb some companies can be ? For the last few days I am trying to get some deal from priceline.com for a few days vacation outside of the USA, and finally was successful in securing a nice room at the Tequila-In, Tijuana. On Monday, I will be in touch with the Gay&lasb Bank here locally for refinancing our new data center and to see into opening a local fan club - The Tijuana Sombreroswings, the SW. I will be on the Channel this coming weekend to initiate all new members and to ZAP xx2 as well.

As far as refunds via Paygay, I instructed them to start immediately process the application. BTW, I also left instructions to Bush, Marta, and Carter.

As you see, I have put lots of time into this letter, and I got to run now, they are about to close this cybercoffe on Juanita Bonita Blv in TJ. When I will be back, we will give away everything for more FREE, more band, more FREE everything, and please, watch out for that Techhh on the IRC, he may come in again and may ask for his money, just ban him.

CEO-CEE-COO-C-OY hoy vai SHWAN"

Ahh, so if the thread is off topic, it's ok to whore your own company.

Quick Question: Why would I sign up with that company if its employees are too stupid to follow the rules of this forum? That would lead me to believe they are too stupid to run their own company.

After putting up with those liars & mindless robots for the last 2 weeks, I thought I'd inject a little fun, but apparently they have had their sense of humor removed during the brainwashing. All I did was 'find' the missing questionnaire.
