Why is this website closed?

Date: May 10, 2004

Is this some sort of Internet terrorism? Please tell us what's going on, Fire Shelby!

Date: May 10, 2004

That's what I get when I open the first page of this site.

Date: May 10, 2004

can't get to the aaup site named

Date: May 10, 2004

My browser just rejected the AAUP Web site URL as invalid.

What's happening?

I can't either. I wonder what's going on.

There is no such site as www.aaup-usm.com - it does not exist and has not been registered.

If this is the work of a hacker, that's a pretty lame thing to do, lead you to a non-domain. Whoopie.

You can get aaup-usm.org It is up and running and fine and good. As is this message board so far.

I have my computer set for extra large type right now. When I go to FireShelby.com, I get the "closed" thing on top of the regular web page, and I can still click through to the board. So it looks like a hack to me.

See Correct AAUP address http://www.aaup-usm.org/

I was thinking hacker, but I'm not sure. If it is, it's probably because of FS's post titled "Well this is just damned funny!"?

Just my opinion. FS, shed some light. Pleaseeee.

Hey you all,

FS is just taking a break, so I hear - no hacking, no internet terrorism - everything is fine. Relax, maintain the good fight. The Message Board will remain up. FS has many other responsibilities and needs a short-term break.

Did FS designate a troll-zapper? We need one.

No troll zapper that I know of, but the correct AAUP site address will be up soon. I also suggest the USM Faculty Senate website: http://www.usm.edu/fsenate/

If there hasn't been a troll zapper on this board in the last 5 minutes, the New Madrid fault is starting to shake...

Well, you never know when FS may resurface to catch those trolls - kind of keeps everyone on their toes.
