Sorry to discuss another board here, but I’m looking for some help from **Polycarp** , **Homebrew** , **RTFirefly** , **Navigator**. . . pretty much anyone who posts at the Pizza Parlor. See, the site’s down. This isn’t a problem, really, except that the URL is mapped to [this rather bizarre and IMO somewhat terrifying site](http://www.gizwic.com). Dom’t believe me? Try it and see. [http://thebruces.stormbirds.org/](http://thebruces.stormbirds.org/) WTH? I think at this point I just wanna know two things. Firstly, how on earth did the site get hashed? And secondly, is this Steve Shead “Gizwic” guy a Parlorite? 'Cos if he is, I’d feel really bad about mocking the site, and I’d really like to. -a- ---

You took the words right out of my mouth. I think the last time I was on the PP was Wednesday night. So how long has this Gizwic dude been hijacking the Parlor? And what exactly is his site about??? Color me confused. Happy ---

Never mind. All is back to Norman . . . they moved to a new server, and I guess there were some interesting DNS tweaks as a result. I’ll just go now . . . ---

I thought somebody had ordered a pizza and didn’t know where to pick it up. :smack: ---

It was there for me when I clicked over there a moment ago. But I’d pretty much given up on it already. Don’t expect to see me there any more this month than you did last month. ---

> [@](#): > > is this Steve Shead “Gizwic” guy a Parlorite? I know that name… but from where? A friend of **Josh’s** , maybe? Anyway, all seems to be well now. The server’s been moved (to **Gator’s** machine, IIRC.) And **no** , I didn’t have anything to do with it. -David ---

No, the new server’s physically on the East Coast, David – **Gator** ’s stuff is in Texas. I don’t recognize the name Steve Shead or Giswic at all.
