Geekrack.net LIES TO ITS CUSTOMERS!

Hello Everyone!

It has came to my attention AGAIN that geekrack servers are down. This time, I caught it JUST as they were going down. I was thinking more about this when it happened the other day (http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/s...2204549&page=3) and on their site it says 100%, as shown in a picture below. This is totally lying to customers, as their servers were JUST DOWN the other day. Well, as soon as I was done taking a screen shot of this, I clicked on the 100% uptime link, and then tried going back to geekrack.net, and IT HAPPENED AGAIN! Their servers are DOWN AGAIN! Geekrack is VERY unstable! They need to either pay someone to manage their servers for them or they need to get lost!

Well your right about the fact that they have an uptime button implying that they have 100% uptime.

And as a note to GR --> it seems you do not have a valid license for Status2K? Should get that fixed.

Not sure about the ups and downs...can't find any official uptime stats?

EDIT: https://geekrackportal.net/ is down as of 10:56 PM [EST] when I just checked it.

the status2k thing isn';t just on GR, something seems to have happened, because other hosts valid licenses have went nulled too.

Thats about all I know about. Also, Geekracks site has been working for me. The portal is down though, but the main sites up.

Edit: Dan, I guess it's their time to shine. :\

They are back, but GeekRackPortal is still down, meaning no support....

I'm sure we'll have a GeekRack rep here soon explaining the problem

I just wanted to point out the fact that we are not attempting to bash Geek Rack(They are doing it themselves). I've worked for her and knows how much effort she puts into it. Its unfortunate that her effort hasn't lead to a great hosting site. I care about honesty and this is just not fair from a consumers stand point.

And yes I to expect a reply from one of her so called workers soon as they think they own this board.

And once again Andy strikes, this is actually an error with status2K we in no way can modify the read of the script.

Furthermore this script only monitors our website and is not configured for multiple sites.

@ Andy, once again you are at a new host starting trouble like you are well known for. And its ok. I just want you to know that i am on to your games.

We have had a great deal of issues lately between the dc amongst other things and we are now in talks with several dcs to offer higher quality services to clients. This is indeed a trying for us and we are striving towards excellance in every aspect of the industry.

Hey,

I have only one thing to say, Crissic & GR both use BURST and most bad reviews seem to come from these. Therefore I'm seeing it as BURSTs fault.

Hey,

I still blame BURST for most of this. To the post above you, I believe Crissic now buy direct from BURST.

I agree with you, kind of... Crissic are hosted by us, we're a reseller for Burst. *I think*
