The Man in Blak Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 So, yeah. I get to work early, click on my little bookmark tab marked "SNKT" and the page doesn't come up. I say "hey, the board's probably down", go grab some coffee, and click it again...and I get one of those "generic search" pages that domain naming services put up whenever you try to access a domain that doesn't exist. I check it at lunch and get the same thing. Looks like someone forgot to mail in the check for the electric bill. Two years ago, I probably would have been so infuriated that I would have wrote a huge, embarrassing rant with zen quotes that would have taken you either thirty minutes to read or thirty seconds to ignore. I was pretty good at those. Nowadays, thankfully, I just smirk and laugh about it. I guess that's what happens when you grow up. So, instead of reading through a melodramatic rant, I hope the following words will suffice: It's over, as far as I'm concerned. It's been over for a month and, when I aired out my concerns - the concerns that most uppity board owners have when things are going downhill - two months ago, I got a collective shrug from the rest of the admin crew. So, if you want to re-open the board, knock yourselves out. I'm not paying for or admin-ing (is that even a word?) a board just for the sake of nostalgia - it's boring. I'd like to give an appropriate "thanks" to the people who've came by and made SNKT an interesting place...but, to do so, I need a domain name and a web service. So, in lieu of said appropriate sendoff, just play some Warren Zevon or something. I promise that, by the end of the song, you'll be over it.
Dr. Tom Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 Huh. I was wondering what had happened, since I got that same search page. Out of curiosity, does this mean the board and all its posts are gone?
The Man in Blak Posted December 7, 2004 Author Report Posted December 7, 2004 I'd imagine that the board and the posts still exist on the web space - there's just no domain to point to them. I don't remember the IP of the server.
Sass Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 Are you going to change your sig? For about a year, SNKT was one of the best boards I had the pleasure of posting at. The good times were good. The post/thread eater glitch was bothersome. The lack of posting was something that no one could change without there being a collective effort from a majority of the board members to start posting more. Consider this board a notch under your belt MiB. It had a solid poster community. Happy trails SNKT.
Slayer Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I remember posting there earlier this year... for around two weeks ... That's about it
Giuseppe Zangara Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Sucks, but, in spite of some really cool people, I never felt like posting there. Back when I did go to that board, I got the impression a lot of other people felt the same way.
IllustriousOne Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I guess I can elaborate some. I can put the board back up, but it's not really something that's high on my "list" at this point. I was, obviously, fairly indifferent to the board itself.
The Man in Blak Posted December 8, 2004 Author Report Posted December 8, 2004 Oh my God, no! Yes, it's true. All true.
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Pretty obvious that this was coming for a while. Unban Crucifixio Jones.
Sass Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 CJ probably won't come back. He's not banned though but I doubt he'll come back here. He's got his own stuff goin on.
Nighthawk Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 We don't approve of his kind around here anyway.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I'm pretty sure CJ was banned for that bit of cosmetic advice he gave stardust back in the day.
Guest HungryJack Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Which was completely solid advice. I might even go so far as to say he could have been far harsher, and it would have been justified. Let's ask Max what he thinks.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Well, it appears SNKT is back in action.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 The usual spot. www.shootproject.net/snkt. Ill couldn't access it, but Bruiser and I could see it.
BX Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 So I guess me and Witty won't be exchanging gifts this year.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 And now its back to the generic search page. Weird.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Look, as I told The Man in Blak on AIM earlier, if SNKT had started an "Inc is Dead" thread like those nerds at WDI did a few months back, I pobably would've started posting at your board again, therefore extending its shelf life a few more months.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I'm pretty sure CJ was banned for that bit of cosmetic advice he gave stardust back in the day. Not sure if this was the thread that did him in, but it didn't do him any favors...
Golgo 13 Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 That was the beginning of the end. Here's where the ban was actually handed down.
MARTYEWR Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I tried http://www.shootproject.net/snkt this morning. Got the same page MiB got. I'd like to know how Al and Bruiser got the page last night.

Black Lushus Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I try to stay out of the mess, but it seems to me Stardust was just as bad as far as whining goes as CJ was with cutting people down, at least what i can tell from those two links...sorry for being out of the loop but is that chick even still around?
