I was just browsing our links page when I noticed that Aqua Flash is no longer online. I hope it gets online soon again. Aqua Flash is one of the most promising recent websites.

Edit: Everything seems to be okay now. Weird.

Strangely, Aqua Flash is completely offline now. The domain is parked, but you can access the website here after I thought about where it was hosted: http://www.freewebs.com/aquaflash/

The images and links need to be rewritten, but everything appears to be there.

Can you get the domain back Aqua Flash?

http://www.aquaflash.net/ works just fine for me. Never saw it offline, though it seems to be behaving oddly. Only the main page is loading... links pull up error messages.

Me to, It works fine.

sorry that it doesent for you.

Ben · 05-18-2008, 08:13 PM

Yesterday when I posted this it wasn't working at all. Now the home page is up but nothing else is. Weird. It seems that the homepage was downloaded with a webpage downloader too. This makes me think that Aqua Flash lost the domain somehow and someone is faking it, which I hope isn't true.

I don't think just the front page was uploaded in hurry. The problem with missing pages occurs with the freewebs alias too.

Ben · 05-18-2008, 10:57 PM

No, the Freewebs pages are fine. All of the links are absolute links so they point to aquaflash.net. Individual pages like http://www.freewebs.com/aquaflash/information.htm work fine.

Silence · 05-19-2008, 03:57 PM

No, I'm actually getting a 404 at the moment...

Maybe one of Freeweb's servers is down and the central one (that hands out 404s) isn't.

Ben · 05-19-2008, 04:53 PM

Yeah, I'm seeing the same 404 right now.

I downloaded a copy of the entire website back in January, so at the worst the past couple months of updates are lost. Hopefully archive.org will have more and Aqua Flash himself can get the website back online or tell us what's going on.

After contacting Aqua_Flash about his site, it appears he's decided to close it as it wasn't turning out the way he wanted. Hopefully he may be inspired to build again at some point in the future, but for now, he's taking a break from both site building and the soaker communities.

Ben · 05-22-2008, 10:19 PM

Thanks for contacting him. It's good to know that at least this wasn't unintended. His website was a favorite of mine and I think he should keep it up at least as an archive even if he loses interest. Everything there was done top of the line.
