Update 2:<\/strong> GoogleCommunity.com<\/a> is now back online!<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> website is online at temporary location googleboard.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Well as you might know I’m one of the administrators at Google Community (http:\/\/www.googlecommunity.com\/<\/a>) which is a discussion forum for everything related to Google and more.<\/p>\n

Anyway today at around 16:16 a member and also friend of mine from Google Community called Laurent contacted me on msn saying the following:<\/p>\n

– Hey
\n– just want to say.. look at http:\/\/www.googlecommunity.com\/<\/a>
\n– http:\/\/www.googlecommunity.com\/<\/a> This page is parked free, courtesy of GoDaddy.com<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But unfortunately at that time I was very busy and only was only quickly checking my emails, but I did has he said I went to Google Community in a new browser window but what could I say the page worked fine for me, so I told him that and that I had to go and well thought nothing else of it as I kept on checking Google Community and it worked fine.<\/p>\n

That was until I got an email time dated at 17:18 from Mondine a Moderator at Google Community, which said:<\/p>\n

GoogleCommunity: Coming Soon?
\nUhhh, is whatever is going on something that was supposed to happen?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I replied to him at 17:56 because by that time I too had the problem of not being able to get on GC and had also found another way in which I believe I had used in the past before for a similar reason, anyway here’s what I sent him:<\/p>\n

I really have no idea, some other members reported this to me not long ago but it worked for me!<\/p>\n

But as your a mod heres a back way in!<\/p>\n

(ip address url removed)<\/p>\n

Have fun! \ud83d\ude00<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He then replied back to me at 18:10 with the following:<\/p>\n

Not much fun to be had there.Trying to log in just sends me back to the GoDaddy parked page.
\nAnd clicking any forum or post results in:<\/p>\n

Not Found<\/p>\n

The requested URL \/home\/google\/public_html\/viewforum.php was not found on this server.<\/p>\n

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.<\/p>\n

Are you actually doing something that’s caused this, or did someone kick the plug out?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I of course don’t have access to anything to do with the Domain name or Hosting with Google Community as Elliot the Administrator deals with this side of things, so I replied to Mondine with the following:<\/p>\n

I didn’t do nothing I don’t even have access to domains!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude41<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After all this I started to recieve more people asking me questions and the answe was always normally “I don’t know I have no idea!” or “I suspect they are trying their hardest to fix it!” as that was all about I could say, anyway GC is still down now and even this url http:\/\/www.googleboard.com\/<\/a> which used to go to GC dosent work anymore, if you’r a moderator at Google Community you can still use Google Community\u00a0IP Adress URL which I have if you contact me as I dont want it getting loaded but please be warned it’s not fully functional either and only the frontpage loads along with some other pages!<\/p>\n

So what can I say apart from that I’m really sorry for all of you who cant get on, though not so sorry for all of you who have been bugging me all day as to why it doesn’t work and telling me that you cant live without GC because it’s all you have well what can I say for goodness sake get a life it’s an internet forum not real life!<\/p>\n

Anyway hopefully Elliot will come on soon and get in contact with either the hosting company or GoDaddy.<\/p>\n
