Weren't they hosted on dreamhost?

Some boards are, but not the main iichan.net servers.

>>1 can't see shit unless I ^U; repost so no one else has to read the source (html markup intact 'cos I"m lazy like that):
<b>May 5th, 2006:</b> Well, it appears that our host has decided to cut and run from the entire webhosting industry all together, leaving us and many other disgruntled customers in the dark.<br />
It was a huge shock to us to find out yesterday that our host was not only going to Mootxico, but that they had outright lied to us when they said "oh hey we're moving your server to a new home." They didn't. Luckily for us, one of us was a SomethingAwful member and saw the notice in SH/SC about our host being a little bitch and running off with our money/servers. <i>Thus we had time to back up all of the boards and databases before they decided to shut down the servers.</i><br />
And so, IICHAN will be back in a few days. A few changes will occur, but overall it'll return to what it was.<br /><br />

47 Name: 404 - Name Not Found : 2006-05-21 17:48 ID:Heaven

it returns

48 Name: 404 - Name Not Found : 2006-05-22 01:42 ID:Heaven

maybe so, but it still has the same management. it's doomed to fail again and again.

49 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2006-05-22 11:52 ID:Heaven

>>48

Ok. Explain how we, as management, could prevent out hosting company going belly-up, and selling out to a bunch of fuckwits who screw over all their customers, forcing us to shell out more money out of our own pockets to buy new servers for something that does not bring in any money for us whatsoever.

50 Name: 404 - Name Not Found : 2006-05-22 17:35 ID:Heaven

By having a second hosting company as a backup, duh. Or hell, just become an ISP and run everything yourselves.

51 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2006-05-22 17:45 ID:Heaven

>>50

Oh yeah, that's an awesome idea for something we do as a hobby, paying for it out of our own pockets. Why pay $100 a month if you could pay $200? Or $1000?

At least try to consider reality here, OK? It's only through immense generosity the site exists in the first place. And how about just a tiny little bit of gratitude for the gift you're receiving?

52 Name: 404 - Name Not Found : 2006-05-23 03:27 ID:Heaven

>>51
Um, YHBT. Except not intentionally, because I really didn't think you would take that at face value.

53 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2006-05-23 12:08 ID:Heaven

>>52

Right. One gets sensitive to complaints after dealing with frustrations like this for a while. Sorry about that.

54 Name: 404 - Name Not Found : 2006-05-23 19:24 ID:7vA74bYW

Are dis and img ever coming back up?

Backups over DSL lines are kind of slow.

is free/b/ gone for good?

57 Name: 404 - Name Not Found : 2006-05-24 22:58 ID:x2XbLrv/

What was the host service, anyways?

58 Name: 404 - Name Not Found : 2006-05-25 02:12 ID:Heaven

Managed.com was acquired by WebHostPlus. Chaos ensues.

59 Name: 404 - Name Not Found : 2006-05-25 13:00 ID:z+9RN0QW

I hate it when you say 'ensues.'
