Is 'The Digital Bits' website down...?!

[shanewalker]

I haven't been able to get to the site for a couple of days now (and I've tried from multiple locations--home/work). Can anyone else out there confirm that its down for them as well?

I've never had this issue for so long...I wonder if its a server issue, because of the recent west coast fires or did he get hacked by someone who hates his views on the format war, I wonder?

My suspicions were justified.

Apparently the site/server was hacked...

see this thread:

Well, 'The Digital Bits' is back up, with nary a mention of anyone being "hacked"...seems it was 'volutary' as they had a server upgrade.

Very low-key posting today. Hmmm...
