Anybody know what happened to IL2 Skins?

I've been trying to log on there the past week and no luck. Have they bit the dust?

Maybe this is a dumb idea, but what keeps Sharx from teaming up with Eurosnoopy and combining the sites under one IP and server?

The buying power combined should give you a better connection as well as a better server.

Sharx lives in the frozen wasteland of the Great White North America (Cananda) and Eurosnoopy I assume lives with as they say in the Southeastern United States... them thare forieners :wink: so one could watch the sitre during what would be my daytime and another at what would be my beddy bye time!

Just a thought and you all know that my waste is a terrible thing to mind! :shock:

As much as I would like to help Sharx but his isp charges per month are similar to mine per year. :smt010

All the ads and paypal on the site just about net the $93 per year this site costs to host so there is nil to spare even for the minor improvements I would like to make to the site.

PS I'm in the 51st state of the USA (colonies), very much to the East :wink: Ask Hunter82 about me and tea parties :smt065

AFAIK (and I dunno much lol) it went offline because of a stupid mistake realy - The owner is in Canada, while ISP was in America - there seems to have been a misunderstanding between them about payment (Canadian/US Dollars) and the ISP (might have been his vendor too) took the site off without even a warning :(

Last I heard he found a new ISP and is now busy updating the Site's software before going online again.

It's like the IL-2 patches - 2 weeks :)

Although I don't use d/l skins myself - it's times like these that a site like IL-2Skins (just like mudmovers/AirWarfare did when it went down) proofs its worth to the community realy.

So be supportive and patient I'd say :)
