Title: Rainbow Forest G2 site offline?
Post by: Chrissytree on November 16, 2018, 09:31:17 AM
I just found that Rainbow Forest isn't working

Does anyone know what's happened?

As http://rd.aien-hime.com/ is down as well, there could be a problem with the ".aien-hime.com" part of the address.

According to https://ipinfo.io/, Aien Hime's websites are on a server in the Netherlands with an IP address of 85.92.140.22, which has 74 other domains listed. I could load the linked address for most of the 25 sample domains provided. However, four domains from this sample (one of which is aien-hime.com) returned a "server not found" message. A fifth domain returned a "500 internal server error" message.

I don't know why these domains couldn't be loaded, but the problem affecting aien-hime.com isn't exclusive to it. For example, there could be a problem with the server itself, causing access issues to some of the websites it hosts.

It might be worth someone directly messaging Aien here (if they haven't already) to see if she knows anything.

Thanks for that info KingdomOfThomond :) I'm not sure who owns the website or whether they have a username here. Does anyone know?

Yes, Aienhime is a member here. They haven't been online since late October, though. I really hope this gets sorted out, Rainbow Forest is a great site :(

Thankfully the wayback machine has our backs. And most of the pictures seem to be loading. You might have to check through different years if they aren't.

I hope it gets back online. It was my back-up guide in case I missed anything on my own G2 guide
