Oddworld.com site is down?

Rayrockslots · #1 10-10-2007, 11:16 PM

Maybe it's just for me but if you haven't already guessed by the title, Oddworld.com is currently unavailable! Could this mean that they a finally going to update the site?

This is the message a get when I try and visit the site:

This site is currently unavailable.

If you are the owner of this site, please contact us at 1-480-505-8855 at your earliest convenience.

I sure hope this is the update we have all been waiting for

*EDIT* - I cannot belive I typed this thread as "Oddsite site is down" How shameful

No, it's worse. That is GoDaddy's phone number for Billings & Payments.

I modified the thread title for you, Rayrockslots.

Well, the site is basically unused, I'm not surprized they haven't payed.
But who is GoDaddy?

Marvak · #4 10-11-2007, 12:31 AM

Looks like OWI have forgotten about it completely if they've stopped paying for the space o_o.
...Damn.
[Edit] I'm assuming GoDaddy is a site host that OWI have used to make the site

scrab queen · #5 10-11-2007, 12:42 AM

Oh wow. If they forgot to pay the bill, they must really be working hard on thier projects.

It does seem that way as the oddworld.com domain doesn't expire until 2016. Why anyone would choose to host on GoDaddy is beyond me, and all logical thinking.

Yes I noticed this myself earlier today!

Thank you

All this infomation about why the site is down has been gathered very quickly, impressive. Maybe they don't want GoDaddy to be their site host anymore (and who can blame them?). Maybe they didn't forget to pay the bill, maybe they didn't pay it intensionly? I dunno how you guys know all this stuff but im sure you'll figure it out

Excuse me, but I didn't read your posts in this thread because if I do it I don't understand nothing. Can anyone give me a short explanation: why oddworld.com is not available?

How can you expect an answer when you're too lazy and can't be bothered to look for yourself?

Yes, excuse me, I was kidding! I only understand nobody use oddworld.com and so Oddworld Inhabitants didn't pay something... I don't understand what didn't do OWI. And who is GoDaddy and what does he do? Do you know it?

Jordan · #12 10-11-2007, 02:20 PM

GoDaddy isn't a person. It's a website hosting company.

Friendly Slig · #13 10-11-2007, 02:34 PM

I think it is just an update, because I don't think they would forgot about their site

...I really hope to see the site updated, it would be cool

I'm not so hopeful. Unless they're switching hosts. Which I could understand so very intimately.

abe is now!, use: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ if you don't understand something. We shouldn't have to explain things that have already been explained in previous posts.

LIES!! LIES!! ALL LIES!!! i've went to the website and all it said was, "For fans seeking the historic FIRST TEN YEARS games website- CLICK HERE"
i click it and i see the website. SO STOP LIEING!

Bullet Magnet · #16 10-11-2007, 04:09 PM

As AbeX300 so eloquently informed us, it seems the issue has been resolved.

Rayrockslots · #17 10-12-2007, 02:33 AM

From the looks of things, nothing about the site has changed what so ever......

Just when it looked like something was going to happen to give us more insight on what OWI is up to, everything suddenly goes back to normal...

***Xavier*** · #18 10-12-2007, 05:43 AM

Heh it's a bit soon anyway, I expect a few more months of silence...

But they must be damn busy to forget to pay their host

mudling · #19 10-12-2007, 05:45 AM

Or damn neglectant.
Well, I'm glad it's back up at least.

Jordan · #20 10-12-2007, 06:57 AM

I'll be expecting news of CS around December and the new year. Who knows, we might even get a post card from them.

scrab queen · #21 10-12-2007, 02:55 PM

Maybe Alf might come back. Either that or he got eaten by something...
But it's all just a big bag of 'maybe's, 'I hope's, and 'what if's. I'm hoping for him because by the time I found the site, I missed everything, and it was already incative.

If my odd muse returns, I might pick up that dropped idea about his adventures...

Bullet Magnet · #22 10-12-2007, 07:12 PM

Wasn't that the one you invited us all to join in, got me all excited and then dropped at a moment's notice? Thanks

scrab queen · #23 10-12-2007, 09:08 PM

Errr... sorry about that one. I was still a bit of a noob/newb back then, and I had way to many short lived ideas. Can you forgive me?

I could imagine. They have to pull off making an entire CGI movie along with two other games, with all three being some what successful to get themselves have the ability to continue the business.

Maybe they did not see any reason to be in a rush to continue paying the host. Or maybe delivery of the money was delayed.

Scrab queen, Bullet Magnet and especially AbeX300, stay on topic please.

Yes, I hope it too. I started to search related Oddworld files, images, informations, "mysteries" and curiosity in oddworld.com. I loved it. I want it again!
And I hope it will be updated with new Oddworld movie and Citizen Siege informations.

abe is now! · #29 10-15-2007, 09:55 AM

Excuse me for double posting but now oddworld.com works! I'm happy

mudling · #30 10-16-2007, 02:22 AM

Yes we know, as was said above, but thanks for informing us.

Well since it is no longer closed down, I guess this thread is pointless, but since that isn't for me to decide I'll just be quiet now.
lol.
