I just tried to go the Tank Factory site and it's off line. Has the site address changed? I hope the problem is only temporary and it's back up soon.

When you click on the link on the gallery you get directed to a directory, in the top right corner it says "www.tfactory.org. is expired ". As Jim is in the U.K at the moment, i would imagine it is on his list of "things to do" when he gets back. Well i hope so anyway .

I no longer post any content on the site, so it's probably been taken down.

Ok, if the site is down does that mean that the organization is gone too? And no more MMI? I know that Rhodes has been dealing with some personal situations.

As far as I can tell, everything is the same as before. It's just the website that appears to be down, but whether this is temporary or not, who knows?

As far as I can tell it's just the domain registration that is a problem. Rhodes may have simply missed the renewal notices and isn't yet aware of the problem.

This happened to a tech company I worked for once and it was very embaressing. Luckily I was not in charge of maintaining the domain registrations.

Cheers,
Jim
