MacOSx.com is history

Well Tuesday Morning (July 3, 2007) it looks like MacOSX.com has gone to Apple directly. Even Scott's blog says nothing about the domain sale. So What's going on?

I think some one is playing a joke and hijacked our site. If Scott sold any part of 'his baby' he would have told us up front. I have sent an alert to him.

I as curious about this myself. I thought I had selected the wrong bookmark but when I went back to the one for the forum it redirected me to the Apple website for Mac OS X.

Thank goodness I remembered about the No Wonder! forum.

Well, looks like the problem was resolved. http://www.macosx.com is pointing back to the forum.

Well, a friend of mine was on the server last night, I was letting him test something he was doing on his own and he thought he would make a joke and redirect my IP address to Apple's website. Well, he wrote the mod_rewrite wrong and instead of sending me to Apple's website, he sent everyone else and I was greeted with the regular website.

Took me a little bit to figure out what was going on, but the log files showed that indeed people where not insane and it was redirecting traffic.

Anyhow, all is good and I can now laugh about it.
