Listcrawler / Megapersonals Down?
So it looks like another one bites the dust! Keep getting a redirect, which I remember happened last time they went down. Maybe it's temporary?
Redirects from MegaPersonals US Only
[QUOTE=AverageJoe702;4871759]I'm getting the auto-redirects from LC / EB this morning too, but I'm really hoping it is just a temporary thing (auto-redirects like this sometimes happen when a site has been hacked).[/QUOTE]Another interesting behavior I'm seeing with this is, if I go to [URL]MegaPersonals.eu[/URL] (the site from which LC / EB pulls its ads) I get the same auto-redirect to StripChat when I try to look at US ads, but I don't get the redirect if I look at European or Canadian ads.
So it looks like the issue is actually with just a portion of the MegaPersonals domain.

[QUOTE=Jedi8765;4873886]It's still down as of 11 am. Sad times if it goes away for good, but these sites are like a hydra.[/QUOTE]My guess is LC / EB etc. Can't be brought back online until the problem with the MegaPersonals US site is fixed.
A lot of these sites seem to be run on shoe-string budgets by guys who are not exactly Tier 1 IT professionals with 24/7 support staff. They probably don't even know the site is down, and won't figure it out until they come back to the office, after the weekend. I personally don't expect these sites to be back online before Monday or Tuesday.
If they are still down without at least a maintenance notification being posted on Wednesday -- then I'll start to worry that they may have bitten the dust for good.
