Author Update #1 @zirkwander 2009-10-11

I just tried opening insanelymac again. It went ahead up to the thread titles. But when I already chose the SL Installation 10.6 thread, there she goes again. Down again.. This is sooo annoying. :s

@Puttabong

Hopefully, Dalton finds this thread of ours. Actually I Googled his username and he's one of the members here.

Now that you've mentioned it, maybe someone is REALLY sabotaging our favorites OSx86 sites. I just wish that Infinitemac won't be the next victim.

Dalton? Mars? Where are you?

Author Update #3 @zirkwander 2009-10-11

Guys does anyone of you has a personal contact with Dalton? As I've checked, the last time he logged-in his account here was last year..

Just when he was about to release the Snowy ISO, this happened.. :s

Author Update #4 @zirkwander 2009-10-11

Is SnowywindOSX cursed or something? When msiwind.net went down, I thought it was only a server problem or something. But when insanelymac went down as well.. I think it's getting too much of a coincidence.. :s

Author Update #5 @zirkwander 2009-10-11

It has been like that for me since yesterday. It goes up but by the time you click on the SL 10.6 thread under Installation, it goes down again..

Field Note #1 @soppel 2009-10-11

Dalton and Mars we are ready for SnowyWindOSX install

We have travelled from forums.msiwind.net to insanelymac.com. Now we are here and waiting for THE release. Halleluja.

Field Note #2 @Costanza 2009-10-11

Well I am here as well, hopefully the insanelymac is up and running shortly.

Else we need to change forum again,,

Field Note #3 @soppel 2009-10-11

Is it possible with two different osx86-sites down at the same time. It's not Apple but maybe some Antimac-fan who is DOS-attacking these sites. Seems like InfiniteMac is not very stable either.

Field Note #4 @annunaki 2009-10-11

Just joined here too.

Waiting to see if Dalton finds his way here as well. It does seem a bit like a DOS thing is going on here. So many of my favorite sites are down or intermittently bad. Demonoid, MSIWind, InsanelyMac. What's next, TPB and Google?

If this stays bad, I'll start up my own Mac site and see how long I can keep it running before the baddies shut it down. :

Field Note #5 @bamdad 2009-10-11

arrived here, too. i feel like a refugee.. dalton, where are you..?

Field Note #6 @_c_ 2009-10-11

Me here, too. Thanks for the asylum and thanks for welcoming us, Puttabong!
Hopefully Dalton and Mars also find their way here.

Field Note #7 @zenklawy 2009-10-11

The snowywindosx iso seems cursed. The sooner its up on mediafire the better. Thanks for allowing us refuges here!

Field Note #8 @bamdad 2009-10-11

unfortunately, no. i've dug out what i could from the google cache of insanelymac, but no email, no im, no nothing.

maybe apple's shadowninjalawyers got to him with a katana.. :((

Field Note #9 @_c_ 2009-10-11

well, mars' site is online only when he is online - seems to be a local server. but strange, yes, like a kind of bird or swine flu infecting sites that are close to publish a new snow leo release for the wind...

Field Note #10 @zenklawy 2009-10-11

It's been officially announced to be a new strain of cat flu that only infects Snow Leopards of the rare Wind variety. Whether it's fatal or not we'll have to wait and see…

Field Note #11 @Kevtav 2009-10-12

i hope dalton finds this thread. were jumping from forum to forum, which is sad. i wonder if he is near releasing it. can't wait.

Field Note #13 @Dalton63841 2009-10-12

Field Note #14 @Dalton63841 2010-01-25
