      Yeah, I did see that. It's one of those things where they 'Will be 
back shortly".

    Lol, yeah, maintenance. Have you not seen that? I've seen it often where 
a site is unavailable, and they describe it as 'down for maintenance' or 
similar. I've often wondered what the actual 'maintenance' is.

Hmm, too bad.  Hope they don't pull a IRTC... :D

    Yeah, that wouldn't be good. I mean, cgsphere has done well with their 
concept, and I'm quite surprised that they haven't followed it up with 
similar things like; cgcube.com, cgoval.com, or cgsomethingelse.com.

     It's too bad that it's down now, I really wanted to study their source 
code. :/

Sometimes it's moving things to a new colo facility or something. It's 
usually something you can plan days in advance if you manage to put up a 
maintenance page *before* the snow hits the fan.

	Wow. I didn't know about this (haven't been to the site in ages, and
don't read the other newsgroups).

Yeah, I've seen trouble with that site for a few months now, since I rendered my
first CG sphere image. After all that work (which yes, I enjoyed immensely; and
learned a thing or two about media that I didn't know) the site wouldn't let me
post my image. Some account problem or other (I don't really recall); but it was
irritating.
