Buzzcomix question

Oualawouzou · Post by **Oualawouzou** » Sun May 15, 2005 7:08 pm

Heya there,

Please don't hurt me if it's been asked before... I did a search on this forum but didn't find the answer.

Is Buzzcomix permanently down? Has it moved elsewhere? Because for the past 2-3 weeks, I've been completely unable to access the site. Yet, I got a referral from it a few days ago which leads me to conclude that I'm extremely unlucky or that something is wrong with my comp. The address I try to reach it at is: http://www.buzzcomix.net .

Thanks!

404 file not found here.

I suspect the referer you got was from a Google cached file.

I got both 404 AND "You don't have permission to access". o.O

It's like they can't make up their minds what issues they have.

Yeah, I've been having issues with them for all of May. Which is also, incidentally, the time I've had an account at them. So far, the page has been working for a total of 5 days or something like that.

I hope they manage to get at least the forums back up and running. There was some really good information on them and the occasional interesting debate.

Well, I'm taking this opportunity to officially declare the BCX Weview forum dead, and my apologies to those on the list who didn't get reviewed yet----and I'm right there with you, I was supposed to be one of the two comics reviewed in the next week. (That's what I get for being self-sacrificing and putting it off every time there was a dispute...)
I could move it to somewhere else---here, Comixpedia, Drunk duck, Top Web...but then I'd have to notify everyone on the list, and between my job, my wife and family (25th wedding anniversary tomorrow) and my comic, I don't have a quick way to do that except go to everyone's web page and look for their email address. No thanks. We got at least halfway through the list---actually, a little more, 82 out of a 118...that'll have to do. (You can see the list at http://www.novanotes.com/review.htm.
Oh, well.---Al

I'd bet if you just make announcements about the move at major comics messageboards, like comixpedia, drunk duck, etc. that the word would get out well enough that you wouldn't have to email everyone. It seemed like the review was really popular, so I don't think people would mind the move.

*pours a malt forty for Buzzcomis*

I think my highlight was meeting some cool artists, as well as getting into a 26 page flame war with the CAD guy:)

That hardly sounds like an accomplishment.

There isn't a thing I hate enough to type that much.

Yeah, it pales at the sight of the regular flame wars that used to take place there.

I think this happens every month once they exceed their bandwidth. Check back early next month.

Ryuko · Post by **Ryuko** » Mon May 16, 2005 4:59 pm

Yes but they went down and then came back up and then went down again. I've never seen it this down, I've just seen the whole "bandwidth exceeded" thing.

Bummer, and I was hoping to pitch my comic there.

Does that make it more or less of an accomplishment?

Less.

Sometimes less is more, tho.
