Ask HN: Did TextDrive disappear for you too?
Last week (3/21) I discovered that all of my sites hosted on TextDrive were no longer reachable:
ಠ_ಠ ping rabasa.com

^C
--- rabasa.com ping statistics ---
7 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
Here is a brief history of my inability to connect with anyone at TextDrive about this.
3/21 - An email is sent to support@textdrive.com
3/22 - Another email is sent to support@textdrive.com
3/22 - A tweet is sent to @txd
3/25 - A support ticket was filed at https://w.textdrive.com
I've checked my Spam folder, so I know I'm not missing any correspondence from TextDrive. It seems like they've simply disappeared. Has this happened to anyone else?
- andymoe 14y agoPretty sure they sent something out where you would have had to take action months and months ago... There is a giant notice on the front page of the new textdrive.com re this now btw.
- crabasa 14y agoIndeed they did: 12/29 - They sent an ACTION REQUIRED email to update my DNS to point my domains to 8.17.82.104 1/8 - More emails to update my domains to 8.17.82.104 1/21 - An email telling me that once "migration is complete" I'll be informed of my new IP address Since that last email on 1/21? NOTHING.
- andymoe 14y agoSorry to hear that. Sounds like it's their bad. When I got the email I moved the one site I had left there (my fathers ceramics site) over to weebly.
