  • I found crystallhall.org. is it a Development-Testing Version of the regular site? Used to test out things by Kristin or something?

    Or is it phisher?

  • It's the old version of the site.

    The old site was having issues so it was decided that an update was in order.

    I didn't realize you were that new. I could have sworn there was a malady on the old site.

    My dreams take me to far off lands and times of distant past and future. They tell what has been done, what will happen and who I am. They show me things beyond the machinations of any man. Tell me, what are dreams to you?

  • The one I'm reporting about has 4 Ls. CrystaLLHaLL. The old site has/had the 'correct' spelling of 3 Ls. CrystaLHaLL.

    My mistake in not saying that in the first place... :oops:

    Hopefully I can whois the site properly on this mobile, 'cause that might give answers, incase I screwed that up on my first try...

  • I just tried checking it out, spelled "crystallhall" as you indicated, and it's telling me the server can't be found.

  • Well, whois is saying that the domain's being used... and the registar doesn't match the one for here...

    www.whois.com/whois/crystallhall.org

    If that doesn't work, try googling verbatim parts of the homepage message, allowing similar/duplicate entries...

  • Both whateleyacademy.net and crystallhall.org resolve to the same IP address, so its just an alternative URL to get to this site.

    I suspect its a URL Kristin registered to prevent cyber squatters

  • Not sure about that site but I will caution you all to make sure you don't try logging into it using your login and password for this site...

    This. I'll pick up a number of domains in the common spelling/typo possibilities as finances allow, to minimize the possibility that someone will set up something to mess with people. I'll snag the original crystalhall.org when it comes off contract, too....

  • The reason for the confusion is that visitors are allowed to stay in the crystallhall.org domain, navigate within it etc, so it looks like a separate site. It might be better to 301-redirect the entire domain to whateleyacademy.net.

    It would be nice if the BigCloset people changed the 301-redirect of the old crystalhall.org domain (which currently are being pointed to BigClosetr.us) to whateleyacademy.net too. But it's out of Kristin's hands.

    Don't call me "Shirley." You will surely make me surly.

  • I tried. I offered to buy it. I don't think they can... if you check the ownership of it, it still whois' as Bob Arnold's. So it may be that Erin and Piper tried to release it to me and just couldn't because they don't have legal control of it. We'll see what happens in May when it is supposed to expire.
