Doc can you check the cripzone I can't seem to get it to load on my end , I was there this morning ??
Yes, it is down. I was in the cPanel when it went down. I got an error about a ajax error then it went down. It was nothing I did so I couldn't figure out what happened. Then I started thinking. What if it is tied to Maxx's bank/credit cards? If so, then it would go down as well?
I've sent you an email telling you about it and hoping you knew Scrubmeister's email address to let him know what happened so he can contact the hosting to get it back up.
I'll check but speaking of Maxx I tried cripzone on another computer and got a strange redirect to B&T that is dowwn ???
.... I recall Maxx saying way back before Scrubs was admin about keeping cripzone up for Jeff I hope it's not under Maxx's account
that's what I'm saying but I didn't think of that before. I hope not or I hope Scrubs can solve it cause he can contact the hosting.
There is something wrong with the servers. I can't even get into cPanel for some reason. Like I said I got an ajax error which had nothing to do with the sites and is server related. Scrubs needs to contact the hosting to get it fixed. It may be tied to Maxx. If so, it may not be back up unless Scrubs can get them to do it.
BTW, I've also sent an email to Kris hoping he'll be able to contact Scrubs...
Yes the host for Cripzone had some issues yesterday. ???
All is good now though? I just joined here today so anyone that needs to can contact me using this forum or contact info in my profile.
I pay for the Cripzone hosting. I'm determined that Jeff get credit for all his work for as long as anyone uses his themes.
Unfortunately I could not pay to keep Maxx's sites up as the host wouldn't take my money. Hopefully our friend Maxx returns soon. :(
Now totally confused. Who owns and runs what. I know I've been bust with the Tinyportal project for a while, but have I missed something over the last few months.? :dontknow:
Our friend Maxx has gone MIA. Last known in the VA hospital but no one has seen or heard from him recently.
He had buildandtell.com and surfacethemes.com on the same server. Hosting ran out on June 11. I contacted host prior to that to try to pay for Maxx's hosting to keep the sites up for him and they wouldn't take my money
There is an area on Cripzone for friends of Maxx to stay in touch until he returns.
Scrubmeister, thanks, for the info, I do hope Maxx is ok.
I knew he had those two sites, but what about Cripzone? I thought he had that too. I thought perhaps now that SMF 2.0.14 has killed all the custom themes he'd taken them down.
Maxx had been lead Admin on Cripzone since Jeff's passing.

Mick, buildandtell is lost cause Maxx was the only admin and the hosting closed it. But we were admins there and I got a backup through and. No one had access to the server. So, I backed up the database and was trying to recreate it on CZ's servers. But it keeps going down because of an Ajax issue...that the error I keep seeing just before it goes down. The only thing I'm doing is trying setup a ftp account! The server is misconfigured.
Scrubs, p!ease send the hosting a ticket telling them about the ajax error.

I thought it was Maxx and Jim aka Zarprime who took it on, but I'm a bit surprized to see there's no mention of Jim's passing on there, or if there is I've missed it. Jeff and Jim were both Tinyportal team members. I miss those guys a lot.
Edit: Typo.

Steve, thanks. Wondered what was going on. I noticed it was down earlier. Can't say I've ever experienced that Ajax problem, seems a strange one. Hopefully it'll get fixed.
Are all the themes updated to work on 2.0.14? or is that something in the pipeline?
Maxx and Zarprime were both Admins on the site after Jeff passed.
Zar was on less frequently I believe because of his health. I wasn't even aware Zarprime had passed until some time later. I'm not sure Maxx knew either? We had spoken about Jim but neither of us had contact with him.
Lurkalot is correct in that there should be mention of Zarprime passing.
The themes on Jeff's site have not been updated as far as I know. Maxx spoke about doing it but was really not well enough to take that on.
Actually, I think none of us knew he had passed but knew he was missing then finally a family member posted something on his FB...if I remember correctly.
If I can get past the misconfigurations on the server I can get surface theme up. LOL
I noticed that Zarprime has a Birthday on July 11. He would have been 64. Will be sure to post something on that day about his passing.
Skhilled - I'm sure the server issues can be solved.
Yeah, I know but I've meant to be a bit more specific in what to tell the hosting.
QuoteI had created a FTP account "skhilled". When I tried to connect with it it would not connect to the server. I assumed it was a password issue. I tried to change it but kept getting "loading" which lasted about 2 minutes then got the "ajax error" then the server crashed.
On my 2nd attempt, after it was back up, I tried to delete the account and got the "ajax error" and it crashed again. The error was not specific but they should be able to trace it through the logs or other means.
If you tell them what I put in the quote it should help them more. I'll wait until I hear back from them before trying it again...

Hi Scrubmeister
Back in July 2016 I was able to communicate with Jim's Sister and she sent me this note:
QuoteJust received this note on FB from Pam Facemyer (https://www.facebook.com/pam.facemyer), Jim's sister:
QuoteHe fell or just could not get up one day and we found him a few days later. So he went to the hosp and was there for a while then they moved him to a nurcing home. He was there for a couple weeks then there wanted to release him but was not better so my dad moved him to hospice house and we thought he was getting better but he just took a turn for the worse on the 4th. and passed away that morning. He fought hard. But lost the battle. Thank you for contacting me. Please keep in touch...
Read the full topic here. (https://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?topic=3945.0)
Ken - Thank You so much for posting that.
Wished I knew someone in Maxx's family so we could find out how he was doing.
It's up but missing the themes and mods. So far I've only installed Simple Audio Video Embedder so the videos will work. I did download the themes he had in his downloads and will try to install them. Hopefully, they will work...
