Hey Josh (or anyone who might know for that matter):

Any information as to what is going on at RateBeer. I haven't been able access the page at all for the past two day. Keeps telling me the page cannot be found. Are we moving servers again? Can anyone else access the page?

Going through withdrawl. Thank God we still have this forum.

Cheer, Joe.

I tried to connect to Rate Beer earlier today with no luck and then I e-mailed Josh to see if he knew anything, still haven't heard from him

The site had been having problems for a few days before it completely disappeared, and a day or so before the outage, Joe T. posted asking if anyone could recommend a good place to get legal advice to help him in dealing with the hosting company.

My best guess is that he got into some sort of dispute with them that has led to the site being taken down. Hopefully, he'll be able to sort it out soon and/or move the site to a new host.

At least I managed to download a delimited text file of all my rating before it disappeared...

the site was back up a minute ago when I checked, but you couldn't rate...so the server move is underway and the outage that began yesterday afternoon was a direct result of that process. As soon as I have an update from Joe I'll post it on the Manifesto main page, since most people check there any time Ratebeer so much as twitches.
