Bernice: There was a message displayed on brainking.com saying something like "the site is currently down". So I guess that technically speaking it wasn't really down, since it could show this message.

pedestrian: not always... in the first half hour, no message was written, and we couldn't simply access Brainking. But ater that... I may agree with you. However, I don't understand anything about that "technical stuffs"... :)

Actually, there was a message at the top of the main page, for close to a week at least, warning of the site being down for some sort of upgrade at their hosting facility or whatever.

Subject: Re:

rod03801: Exactly! That's why I haven't stranged when I first tried to acess BK and the browser wrote something like "page not found"... but the point of pedestrian is interesting: after half an hour, this "page not found" was changed for a "common BK page" with the sentence "the site is currently down. Its owners had been advised,..."... so, it was an expected failure, or it was a "surprise"?

Gabriel Almeida: It was a planned downtime, but it appears the work took longer than expected. I assume they put up the BK page when they realized that the site was going to be down longer thant the hour predicted.
