Hello there!

For some time I have used www.brokenthorn.com as one of my sources developing my operating system. Maybe some of you did that, too. And today they appear to be dead. When I try to reach them, I only get this message: "The connection is timed out". Even ping requests to their host doesn't work. Maybe it's temporary or it's happening the same thing as happened with www.jamesmolloy.co.uk not so long ago. If there is the second case, then maybe some of you have www.brokenthorn.com tutorials saved on your PCs? I have most of their source codes, and I may be able to share all of them with any of you. But with tutorials is the other story... I would be very grateful for any of you that has saved these tutorials. I think lots of beginners and even a little more experienced OS developers would like to have www.brokenthorn.com tutorials on their PCs. At last, it's very sad when quite good sites about developing operating systems (despite all of the bugs we encounter in these tutorials) are dying...

I have a backup copy dating back to March 2012. I wonder if it's legal to pass it around.

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


My hunch is that the problem is being fixed as we speak.

Hello,

The problem appears to be with the host and should be resolved soon. Our web host believes it is caused by overloading of servers due to an attack attempt on WordPress login pages and is effecting a large part of their data centers. Please note that while the site is effected, it poses no security risk; we do not use WordPress.

The site appears to be accessible now but there is no guarantee that the problem will reoccur until resolved.

Hello,

The host is still monitoring everything just in case however it appears the applied fixes have resolved the problems with downtime so the site should now be fine.

@neon, is it acceptable if we create mirrors for use if the site ever actually goes down?

Hello,

It should be up in a day or two -- resolving something with our hosting provider. Sorry for the inconvenience.

@Haoud, I'm not too, but your sentence seems fine to me.
It may be good idea to stop writing "sorry for my bad english" :)
Through, It's back finally

@Lukand: Yes, I know, but it is in case I say anything :? .
