Title: Taiganet No More?
Post by: tuez13 on July 21, 2022, 02:06:58 PM
I'm posting as somewhat of a question but also as a statement in case anyone has extra information to share.  I've been using the WS4000 emulator as part of my weather stream for quite some time.  Recently, I noticed it kept displaying 'No Current Report' and not displaying current information.  As I looked into the problem, I noticed taiganet.com is no longer available.  I am able to view it in web searches but the site and forum do not load.  I don't want to speculate, so here's the post to gather information!  Also, thanks to Bill for programming the emulator and maintaining a quality product.

I know the site has gone down before, but usually pops back, would be a shame to see it discontinued.  Let's hope someone out there sees these posts and can offer more information.

Chances are, it's down for whatever reason. If the site was discontinued, it would give you a page displaying links to other websites or something rather than keep loading, then saying can't reach this page like you're not connected to the internet. The NWS servers could also be broken down and it's taking days and counting to get repaired, which has caused Taiganet to go down in the past.

I know Bill runs his own server, so maybe he's having hardware problems?

It was a hardware issue, but was resolved awhile back.
