Title: Wicked Sims/Noukie Sims down?
Post by: Enchantress on June 04, 2008, 05:58:10 am
Is anyone else having trouble getting in to Wicked Sims or Noukie's site? Or any of the other sites they host? (Express Sims, Sims 2 Graveyard, Stefan Sims, Donna Moda, subKitten, L.O.V.E. Fashions)?? I can't get any to come up. Wonder what's the deal...

I am, and have been since yesterday morning (partly because I had ISP trouble then... doggone Verizon... :x). They're just becoming my new favorite finds site, too.  I'm crying inside from withdrawals... :bawl:

But I'm sure it's just server maintenance at the time being.  They'll be back up sometime soon.  :angel:

I hope so!  I know their new Retro Aspiration set is so popular everyone wants to download everything at once.

I agree Tenshii, I love all their free finds, good stuff.

:(  Just saw a post from Paden in the WCIF forum... a few of their sites had been hacked, so they're going to be offline until that's fixed.  :-(

oooohhhh noooo !!! I downloaded the retro stuff yesterday I think, but I was trying to get something from the graveyard and got a DNS error, I thought it was the school's fault. I hope they get it fixed soon.

Hopefully they can get it fixed and catch the jerks who did this :*(

Our host shut the server down, because it had a vulnerability and someone exploited that. They got complaints and they had to shut it down. Not sure when it will be up again. Thanks for your patience. :)

Oh okay.  That's a relief!  Just as long as it wasn't anything serious... glad it wasn't a direct site-targeted hacking like previously thought.  Thanks for the update, Nouk!  :angel:

Nouk hun, if there's anything I can do to help, let me know. Do you want me to post something on my site (http://www.efsims2.com) so that people know?

Good luck with getting back up, your little family of sites is being much missed here! :)

:x  Doggone it!  I wish whoever it is that keeps trying to "hax0rs" their server will cut it out... this is getting ridiculously old.  Anyways, still hoping for the best and that they're back up and running soon.  :pray:

Noukie:
  Is your server the same one that hosts the SAS site? I'm wondering what happened-it's been down (and up) for the last two days-I'm at a loss and out of touch with some of the other staff there..(I'm a GM).
  I emailed another one of the staff trying to get answers.

I just tried finding Wicked Sims on Internet Explorer and it can not fined that Site I thank thant site(Wicked Sims) has Closed it's doors for good,I might be wrong?,it has been 3 days for me what happened?

Post by: Tenshii~Akari on July 11, 2008, 03:17:55 pm
^^ No, it hasn't.  I'm sure of that.  :angel:  Seeing as they are probably experiencing the same problem as last time (breech in internet security) I highly doubt they'd shut down without notice.  The site(s) have been dedicated, and if it had to come to that, the community would've gotten notice by now.  So no reason to panic or think that it's gone for good.  ;)

Unless I am mistaken, all the WNF sites use the same server so thats 40+ sites down currently.

Thanks for all the info Tenshii! I was starting to get worried as well because of how long it is taking to fix the problem. Thanks for the reassurance!  :)
Nouk: Hope everything turns out okay! I love your sites!

:P  You're welcome, but don't take my word for it completely.  I'd wait until someone who actually knows way more about what's going on to give an update on what's going on than me.  ;)  Even though I'm concerned* that it's been a full week, I'm still confident they aren't "gone".  

*("concerned" read as "having serious withdrawal symptoms". :smile bi:)

I checked the sites again and no luck. Their down still, which really sucks.
This really is getting quite annoying. Whoever is trying to put the sites down
really needs to find a life and do something else

I'm guessing Nouk moved.
Nouk posted a message on this board about GOS.
http://phorum.mustnotbenamed.com/index.php/topic,1972.150.html
I didn't know what GOS was. But it stands for Garden Of Shadows.
On this website you will find Nouks hair, etc.

They're currently having some downtime so the WNF will be back up soon hopefully :)

Many WNF subsites are down because we're in the middle of a server move, and because STUPID JESSICA is TERRIBLE at organization and bookkeeping, so it's just a GINORMOUS MESS with files and subdomains scattered EVERYWHERE. It would help if I knew what actually was there to begin with.
