the Uk Bassworld forum has been offline for quite a while now-
anyone know what's up with it?

seems like every so often when everything's going well on that site it disappears for some reason.....

Subject: RE: Site Down



All the servers that I have all my sites on has been seized by the FBI at
the moment! Apparently my host has been hosting terrorist sites!!! I cant do anythin about it until the servers are returned with all the bassworld info.

Unfortunatley bassworld is Database driven and cant be backed up so I just
hope that when it comes back it still works. Its a real nightmare atm. I
dont have any email addresses for people as the whole site is admined
online. Laos i cant as yet even ad a page to let people know whats going on.

Take a look at www.pachost.net for more info.
If you could let anyone from the site you know about this it would be much
appreciated!

Regards,

I'm a big bassworld user being based in the UK and from mails I'm getting from other members (including the one already posted here) it looks like we might be off for a while.

Please keep checking back - meanwhile I reckon you might get one or two of us visiting these parts a bit more often

yeah, it's a damn shame about BW, we've deffinitly had our fair share of bad luck server wise, here's hoping when it comes back all the old threads are still on there...
