No more Gravatar?  4

It seems the Gravatar site is down - I have no idea if this is temporary or permanent. I can’t seem to find any mention of it on any other sites so I’m guessing it’s DNS/server/meteor related.

Maybe my demands for people to signup overloaded them with traffic … ?

Or maybe not.

After reading a few posts on the subject it seems that for whatever reason the owner of ‘gravatar.com’ didn’t renew the domain name - I’ve replaced http://www.gravatar.com with http://64.124.231.223 in the Gravatar Movable Type plug-in and everything seems fine for now.

Apparently Gravatars will be OK.

It’s weird when things like this happen. That’s the unfortunate unpredictability of the Internet it would seem.

Hi Timmargh, Sorry to hear that you liked the Gravatar site and they took it off the webspace. I know how you feel about certain sites disappearing, they took off the Cult website from the BBC Homepage. I miss watching all my favourite classic TV clips. I hope they never pull Ouch off the web, if they do, I would kick up a massive protest outside Television Centre.
As you might of guessed I totally love the website and have hinted I want to work for them!
