WTF happened to TWF?

Librarian · 10-20-2009, 06:17 PM

What I mean is, I used to put "twfix" in the browser address line and hit Ctrl-Enter (which for you non-computer-geek types) makes the browser go to "http://www.twfix.com/" and this used to immediately go to "http://www.twowheelfix.com/".

Still with me? Hey, you in the back, wake up!

OK, so now it doesn't go from "http://www.twfix.com/" to "http://www.twowheelfix.com/", it goes to some stupid search engine from Comcast (my ISP). So, either the domain name server (DNS for you geeks) forgot who twfix is, or someone forgot to pay the ISP for the domain name.

OK, you can go back to sleep now.
