[edit] Down?
Is it just me, or have example.com, example.net, and example.org gone down? – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 23:18, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- According to the Wayback Machine it seems to have happened in 2005 (com, net, org). Not simultaneously for all of them, though. Bromskloss 09:37, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- =/ Surely this is not a good thing, long ago as it may have happened. Shouldn't there be.... someone, who should deal with this? --Jeremy Banks 12:51, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- Interesting. The sites server still respond to pings. --Jeremy Banks 22:28, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

- RFC 2606 (you can read it, it's short) does not say that the mentioned addresses should respond with a web page (nor are they required to respond in any other way). On a side note, "example.com", "example.net", "example.org", "www.example.com", "www.example.net" and "www.example.org" all resolve to the same IP address, namely "192.0.34.166". —Bromskloss 10:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

This must have been some ICANN employee who has taken them down... Last few lines of a traceroute to www.example.com:

Contacted ICANN to get more information about this. Mbimmler 17:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] example.org redirects to porn :(
And that sucks! Here I was, adding an example link, and it gets reverted. OK, I undo the revert and think "stupid bot", well I then copy and paste the link, and I get porn!
Needless to say the link is now Wikipeida rather then example.org
example.com still doesn't work either. AFA http://revleft.com 23:48, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- It's fine here. (Points to 192.0.34.166, which doesn't have a web server running, but that's not that important). Perhaps your computer is infected, or your ISP is ripping you off? –EdC 20:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- bah. Now it isn't. It was only example.org and not example.com or example.net (these two not resolving). But now, none of them resolve. I guess that bit can be removed now. I'll get onto it. AFA http://revleft.com 15:13, 20 March 2007 (UTC) (hah I remembered to sign this time you stupid bot!)
- Strictly speaking, they do resolve (to 192.0.34.166), it's just that there isn't a web server at that address to respond to connection requests. Weird about the porn thing, though; it does happen that web addresses get hijacked, but I'm surprised that someone would go to the trouble of hijacking example.org. –EdC 23:05, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'll believe you about that whole resolving thing. And I agree that it is weird that someone would hijack example.org AFA http://www.revleft.com
