Their Domain has expired. They sure best get in gear FAST to save it or it will be bought out from under them. I left Dave a message on his cell phone voice mail and sent him an e-mail.

This is not something to dink around with. We lost www.greybeardoutdoors.com that way. Matt forgot it was renewal time and they sold it out from under us.

Here's a copy of the e-mail that I received from them earlier today. Guess they got the problem all sorted out:

Message:

Sorry for the snafu..  we had an issue with the domain that's been resolved, it
should just take a few hrs for us to get the site back up across all the
servers..
 
Regards,
 
The Marlin Owners Team.

Dave attempted to pay the fee via paypal and for whatever reason a hold was placed on it. He was unaware and whoever his domain is registered with cut him off. I left a phone message and sent an e-mail telling him of the problem and that he needed to get on it fast. He handled it via plastic and as soon as they got the payment they turned MO back on.

Just one more of the joys of running a site.

I had hoped it might be something Matt could fix when I read this since we host them and help out with technical problems from time to time. It wasn't.
