clothesfree.com down?

[A Bay Marty]

The main ClothesFree International website seems not to be working at all. I also pinged wwwDOTclothesfreeDOTcom and it returned "Unknown host". I hope you guys are still operating....

[OZJames]

I have been having trouble getting on for weeks - only by chance through a Google search found out how to open the forum direct.

WHAT IS GOING ON PLEASE

[EricNY]

There should not be any trouble getting on. There are not any problems on this end.

Try clearing your cache/cookies etc....see if that helps.

[OZJames]

I deleted cookies from My Computer/Control panel/ Internet options.

That made no difference. When I try to go to www.clothesfree.com the firefox browser says "server not found".

I tried Internet explorer and it will not find the site either.

I checked my ZoneAlarm Security suite and , looked under "zones' and did not see any reference to Clothesfree, either trusted or otherwise.

[EricNY]

I clicked on your link and went directly to www.clothesfree.com (http://www.clothesfree.com)

There is not a problem on CFI's end.

http://www.clothesfree.com/ is available, up and running

[A Bay Marty]

There is not a problem on CFI's end.

clothesfree.com is available, up and running

Though obviously not from Australia.

Also, the last e-mail I received from CFI is dated October 6.

In reply to OZJames, I have always been able to access ClothesFree Forum (clothesfreeforum.com), which I have separately in my bookmarks, but clothesfree.com won't load, for me either. My ISP is Exetel. I'm thinking the problem could either be with Exetel (if you're on Exetel as well), or some kind of DNS issue in Australia.

[A Bay Marty]

I've just discovered that the ClothesFree TV site (clothesfreetv.com) works here. Weird.

[aragon25]

Same here, clothesfree.com does not work at all, and this forum site seems slow and restricted. Even the pics side is not working anymore, including Pic of the day.

Has been like this for a few weeks now.

Live in Sydney, Australia.

Wish we had a similar site of this scale in Australia?

[OZJames]

There is not a problem on CFI's end.

Looks like the problem might be something to do with Australia. BUT
ercNY - we have not changed anything - you have changed your server. Please think what can be going on.

CAN YOU HELP US ?

[EricNY]

That would be something that only Corky or Sandman could look into.

I suggest that you may want to email them directly or even call the toll free number to CFI, and speak with either of them.

I will bring their attention to this thread in the mean time

[boatsteve]

I don't think the toll free number works outside of the US.

For the Australians, what do you get if you put http://208.109.31.230/ (http://208.109.31.230/) in your browser's address box?

It's working for me but ...

The management of CFI is clearly not convinced they have a stable system - note their continuing delay in the release of the new videos which are now stacked three high on the shelf.

And the forum is clearly slowing down in terms of participation. Not a good sign. This is still the best naturist forum on the net. I would hate to see it go. I would even miss usmc1 and nacktman's rants.

EDITED TO ADD NOTE TO THE WEBMASTER: Your clock (at least for me) is four hours slow. The time shown for the post is 4 hours earlier than the actual posting time.

EDITED AGAIN TO ADD A NEW NOTE: It appears that the clock is not slow by 4 hours, it is fast by 20 hours. This post already shows as being posted YESTERDAY. Not so. It was first posted a few hours ago.

I double clicked on the above and after a period the loading icon stopped and nothing was on the screen.
Thanks for the suggestion - any others to try ?

[Sandman]

We setup a firewall and blocked China. Too many IP's from China were making connections to the server, causing the server to crash. When we blocked China, parts of Australia were blocked. We lifted this block. Please try again and let us know if you are still having problems accessing clothesfree.com. Also, providing your IP address would help.

Thanks!

[OZJames]

Hi Mat, now we know why we cannot access Clothesfree. My internet connection comes via satellite positioned somewhere over the equator and owned by IPSTAR a company based in Thailand.

I have eMailed my IP address to you through the normal eMail system not the PM system

Hope you can help get us back.

By the way I tried the clothesfree site some time after you posted and still could not get on.

[aragon25]

still blocked here in Sydney, both the direct ip address and the web address

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Macromed\Flash>I thought this might be helpful?

Also, have PMed my IP address.

Also, I'm not on a satellite connection as I think OZJames said he is. On DSL here.

[OZJames]

The clothesfree.com site worked for me today. I hope it does for everyone else - including the Chinese, and the Malaysians, Indians, Japanese. We need everyone.

[A Bay Marty]

It's back for me as well!

[Sauna]

I don't think the toll free number works outside of the US.

Toll free numbers work also outside USA, but they are not free. You pay normal call chargre

[Sandman]

The issue has been resolved. Thanks to everyone for the feedback and help!

[aragon25]

Good to see the full site is back on line down here in Australia, well done CFI webpeoples.

[Sauna]

The issue has been resolved. Thanks to everyone for the feedback and help!
