spurstalk.com domain name registration expired yesterday

[jhfenton]

I can still access Spurstalk with my normal DNS server, but with another computer routed through a Dutch VPN, Spurstalk has already disappeared. I get a Domain Name expired warning. And looking it up, the spurstalk.com registration expired yesterday.

[mudyez]

fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck....I don't care about my language! FUCK!

When the site was down I basically paniced. Thought it may be gone for good (some abused the board and it wasn't that far fetched to thing someone shut it down and called it a day). Saw my whole life in front of my eyes. Thought about spending trades, signings, bad games, championships, soccer without it and how boring everything would be. Realized how important it is to me. I'm not kidding!
I tried to contact others via coments, twitter, even mailed the contactperson for the site. I really thought I have to live without Spurstalk!

I'm so happy now.

Happy 10th birthday!

Soooooo happy!!!!!!!

Yes, we are here to talk basketball but don't lecture me for what you did downstairs, son.
I also went to SpursReport to see if anyone there knew what happened here.
I guarantee they would not put up with what you did here over there.
We do need a plan to figure out what to do if something happens here.
The best thing either of us could do is QUIT casting blame especially where it DOES NOT belong.
Kindly take your own advice, and this will pass!

Mel, those other two I mentioned are not bad, some like them better, some like them worse.
In fact many of the original posters here, and the owners, started at SR.
That site is moderated very strictly though, much more so than here, they don't suffer trollish behavior lightly and are quick with the ban.
PTR is different from both, It is hard to explain how, but it isn't bad.
It is always good to have toes in various different Spurs forums because you never know where the insider info will come from.
Up until last year most of that came from this site for the past five or six years.
Before that it was usually first from SR.
The trends may be changing now to PTR, I don't know for sure, but that site seems to have more insider info lately, and many of the old time posters that used to be here, have moved on.

[DPG21920]

I might just build another Spurs message board tbh..

[jhfenton]

It's now down for me using my local DNS server at home or at work. I can read posts using the IP address, but I had to connect through a UK VPN to get working DNS so I could log in. It all depends on the speed of the DNS propagation when it went down and when it comes back.

probably not. DNS protocol is well above, not involved in ARP protocol.

The TTL on spurstalk is 8 hours, with negative TTL of 1 hour. One or the other timed out in your DNS, not ARP commands.

Spurstalk is still inaccessible at work (telecom company) this morning. I'm having to use a UK VPN connection on my iPad to access it. I still couldn't access it normally at home last night, but I could at least edit my hosts file to make it work. The security policy/software on our work laptops ignores the hosts file, so that won't fly here. (The site was fine at home this morning.) I'm not sure what our internal DNS servers are doing.

I'm still having issues over here, anyone else experiencing problems?

My guess is that some DNS or DNS admins have screwed up their DNS or are using some bad DNS implementation

;; ANSWER SECTION:
spurstalk.com. 28800 IN A 91.185.193.217

;; ANSWER SECTION:
www.spurstalk.com. 28800 IN A 91.185.193.217

both domain names have time outs of 8 hours, which by now should have caused all stale records to have expired. 28800 is seconds

Ever shorter is the negtative TTL for caching "no answer" responses:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
spurstalk.com. 28800 IN SOA ns1.spurstalk.com. root.spurstalk.com. 2005051623 28800 7200 604800 >>> 3600 <<< seconds

which "should" be used by DNS to remember/cache a negative answer (eg, no DNS answer for www.spurstalk.com or spurstalk.com) so the DNS won't repeat a query that got a negative answer for one hour.

My guess is that while BIND DNS acts correctly some ISPs mess with the DNSs to modify behavior,and then there are off brands DNS like MS DNS, etc, that that have long history of non-RFC behavior and non-"best practice".

And then there is the DNS caching locally in Windows.

I'm still having issues over here, anyone else experiencing problems?

Yes. Several devices on the same home network with different issues. No problems with phone or Kindle via wifi. PCs were unable to connect until this morning. Now connected with intermittent problems (unable to access server, but connection made after several reloads).

"connection made after several reloads"

This is the best, and probably only tactic, bombing the local DNS with queries until it finally get the right, positive answers.

Happened to me last night, wifi-tethering my tablet to my iphone/ATT. Couldn't get spurstalk, but after a couple browser reloads, all was ok.

Thanks.

oops, of course the NS records for spurstalk were changed in the .com parent servers from ns12,3.spurstalk.com to someother NSs:

now the NSs are back to spurstalk DNSt, but note the 172800 seconds/48 hour TTL (time-to-live in DNS caches) on those NS records.

dig @f.gtld-servers.net ns spurstalk.com

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
spurstalk.com. 172800 IN NS ns1.spurstalk.com.
spurstalk.com. 172800 IN NS ns2.spurstalk.com.
spurstalk.com. 172800 IN NS ns3.spurstalk.com.

So it could take a couple days for total return to normal.

Not having now the NS and SOA records from yesterday's non-spurtalk DNSs, can't say what those NS and SOA TTL and negative TTL were.

I guess you could always put the following line in your hosts file as a workaround:

91.185.193.217 www.spurstalk.com

I'm still having a shitload of problems getting onto the site.

[Ron Swanson]

I couldn't get on earlier and actually had to work. I hope my boss doesn't expect that kind of production all the time.

Where can I find the hosts file if I'm using firefox? I'm still having intermittent problems.

Every now and again it cuts off, but usually comes back on in a few minutes.

I presume you're using Windows 7.

Close your browser.

C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts

You will need to run Notepad as Administrator to edit the hosts file. Right-click on Notepad and select Run as administrator.

Add the entry I posted earlier and save the file.

Open your browser and try ST again. It should work normally now.

[100%duncan]

Change your DNS server to 8.8.8.8 primary and 8.8.4.4 secondary

On my home PC, I was on spurstalk Mon night and Tue morning.

But Tue night, spurstalk not found, but a couple browser reloads brought right up.

Yes, I'm using Windows 7, and thank you! Hope this helps others as well until this server issue gets resolved.

If you're using a Mac, it's at /private/etc/hosts. It's easiest to use the terminal.app, "cd /private/etc/", type "sudo pico hosts" to open the pico editor, and add the line that TampaDude typed at the end. Then ctrl-o to save the file and ctrl-x to exit pico.

Whoops. Simultaneous posting. Maybe the instructions will help someone else. :)

[Chris]

Also you may have to edit the hosts file "permissions" by right clicking on it and clicking on the security tab then advanced etc..click on the boxes to enable them for your user name, then you can save the file with the new line added.

They will! Thanks anyways

Yep, the demise of the Lakers has really improved the quality of posting here. The Lakers trolls all had to go into their little hidey holes for another 5-10 years until they get rid of Kobe and have the $$$ to be relevant again.

[heyheymymy]

[wildbill2u]

Glad it is back up. I got it one day after post about the renewal for one year--- and then it went off again. Hope this is permanent.

That is the truth.
Glad I wasn't the one to say it though.
