No Warranties Expressed or Implied Open Thread

  • 19 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Our short term outage turned into a longer outage. Here’s why:

1) Our traffic flooded?the old?server in the last few weeks (we’re well over 15 gigabytes a month). Our webhost disconnected us after not getting an answer to their emails because we were taking hundreds of their other clients offline. We moved to a dedicated server yesterday in response to this.

2) We forgot that the DNS server for our domain wasn’t controlled by the webhost, so the site was offline this morning once that move was completed. As we attempted to change our DNS, we learned that our account had been locked due to multiple hack attempts.

In the end, none of this was more difficult to solve than a phone call. Sorry about the downtime, though.

  1. Not me. I was just passing through en route to Both Ways Bob’s veteran support site. He’s my favorite draft dodger. (W doesn’t count. He’s a deserter.)

  2. Wow, just like the typical Rapepublican GOPstapo to censor those who dissent from the party line.

    Two of my posts from this morning in the “We’re Alive” thread were deleted…thats low…really low.  Censorship is not cool, in any case.  If you have a problem with it COTrolls say something on the blog, but dont censor people because they have disparaging things to say about you and your blog.  If you really are the insiders that you make yourselves out to be, then you should be able to take criticism.

  3. My question to Coloradopols about how someone traced Bob Ewegen’s IP address and from where also mysteriously disappeared.  C’mon folks, just answer the question.  Did someone at Coloradopols leak Voyageur’s identity?

  4. Your posts weren’t deleted. When we moved from the old server to the new one there were some posts from thursday that our webhost didn’t get in their migration. Basically, they took a snapshot of the site for the migration, then you posted something.

    Instead of coming up with more tired conspiracy theories, why don’t you go ahead and re-post whatever it is you think we deleted?

  5. the only one who leaked voyageur’s identity was voyageur himself.  come on folks, if you’ve been around here long enough it becomes pretty easy to id writting styles. add to that the many hints about his life and history, then its a curtain opened.  was he wrong to post? no. does he have a right to continue posting? yes. do I believe he’s still here? you bet. he and iron mike will find eachother again as they always have.  (for those who remember, iron mike is george bush and voyageur is really dick cheney.)

  6. The story I read included a blurb about tracing his IP address to the paper.  If it didn’t happen, fine.  Maybe it was traced from Colorado Pols and leaked, maybe it was traced some other way, or maybe it was all about matching writing styles. I’m just an aging movie star, a simple denial will do.

  7. I’m not an aging movie star but I would like an answer to the IP trace before I get any older and become one.

    I didn’t see conspiracy theory in Bacall’s question–just a request for an explanation for a story that has mentioned that Voyageur’s IP was traced to the Denver Post.

    Surely Colorado Pols can answer that, yes?

  8. http://www.westword.com/Issues/2006-05-18/news/message_full.html

    ColoradoPols’ Jason Bane doesn’t buy that. He has a political and journalistic background, but he’s also a blogger who’s as comfortable using noms de plume as he is when posting under his own name for 5280 magazine. In his view, “I don’t know why, if your profession is as a reporter, as opposed to being a doctor or a waiter, you give up your right to anonymously post on a blog.” He emphasizes that the organizers behind ColoradoPols have no interest in “tracking who someone might really be,” and he regards attempts to unmask people as “a witch hunt.”

  9. From the same article “individuals known to Westword recently presented information suggesting that Voyageur is actually Bob Ewegen, deputy editorial-page editor of the Denver Post. Their alleged proof isn’t indisputable, since Voyageur’s IP, or Internet Protocol, address (a series of digits that serve as a kind of computer fingerprint) confirms only that he or she logged on from a device under the auspices of the Denver Newspaper Agency.”

    My question is, who would have access to this information other than someone at ColoradoPols?  Laura Teal denies leaking it, is she lying or is it someone else?  I’d like ColoradoPols to share what they know, if anything, about how this was traced and by whom.  I assume I hear crickets chirping because it is Memorial weekend.  I’m hoping for a response tomorrow. 

    Not conspiracy, just curiosity.

  10. Colorado Pols absolutely, positively did not have anything to do with informing Westword of any connection between Voyageur and Bob Ewegen. As Jason told Westword, Colorado Pols has no interest in looking for or tracking IP addresses for any individual.

    Someone who thought that Ewegen was posting as Voyageur went to Westword independently. Westword asked Jason if Ewegen was Voyageur, and his response was simple: We have no idea. We don’t know the real identities of any poster, and we don’t care to look. But please rest assured, we had nothing to do with that.
