Even his mainstream sites are down. There must be a huge problem and I even think TWAN is not aware of this situation...

Twan has mainstream sites?

Hi Guys,

just tried to reach him by phone under the dutch landline number you can find in his who is´ and other dutch directories which confirm his address, company registration etc.

And i reached a Twan, haha. Yes, im Twan K. He was not willing to talk, just said "No" on the question if he is the owner of thumblogger :)

An immediate No, in a normal way, then he hang up....

Damn, so he is fully aware everything is down.

That's crazy.

What must've happened to him to let it all go like this?

I guess we'll know if the site will be back within 24 hours. If he wasn't aware before, he's aware now.

sorry man kaktusan is the next choice

pornblog space and his other domains

I would think he has multiple servers, especially if he hasn't upgraded to newer hardware over the last few years. Multiple servers going down would usually mean nonpayment.

Are his sites all still down? Gonna be a pain in the ass going thru all my blogs deleting all the links to his directories :(

I've often wondered if he made money, I mean he hardly plastered adverts around did he, just that tiny text link to AFF at the top of each blog.

There are clearly tons of reasons why this network is down, but as just another stab in the dark, maybe people were uploading questionable content, and he didn't have the time to police free blogs 24/7.

Just another possibility...

:thumbsup:thumbsup

He made money. No doubt about that. Likely $$,$$$ monthly.

If he doesn't act fast directories will be deindexed soon.

His Free Hosts will be deindexed as well. With that our subdomains go as well.

This is likely gone for good.

Thankfully I don't just rely on freehosts anymore. Why rely on someone else when you don't have to do so...

hahahaha i love this....

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Where did you get those .edu and .gov backlinks? Or were those from your users? :batman

:pimp:pimp

This is why I stay away from free hosts.

This is also a reason not to keep all of your eggs in one basket.


Really sucks for anyone who lost pr or seo benefits due to this.

looks like his hosting is down... he probably didn't paid his hosting bill...

This sucks

Sounds about right...
Agreed. I lost some good FHBs.
Ditto. It's not coming back. And if it does not happen before google de-index's the site then it will not help.

If anyone has a WPMU setup that you want blogs built on, I'll do it for $1/blog as many as you need. (More for nice handwritten ones and the HT/pornstar setup that I do, though) :upsidedow

Right now. I'm trying to get my own hosting set up. I already have a host. Just waiting for then to do the installs. I hope I can get some traffic back in the next 2 months.

Between now and then I will probably need to get a real job and that is going to suck.

Try EasyXBlogs, it's really good.

Also, if you want, create another user and access for me to blog and I'll get a few hundred up for you.

I think I will need to rework everything. I was getting very little traffic anyway. I went from 15k/day to 2-3k/day. I need to start from scratch and rebuild.

With how many blogs? That shouldn't be too hard to do.

Research those keywords :upsidedow

2-3k but some are shit.

I do have everything in txt files. Title of the blog post is the title of the file. I wish there was a program that would let me post them from my folders to WP

If you know php or some other scripting language you can do it by parsing your files into an RSS or even better a CSV file and Wordpress can import it

Thanks for that idea. Once my host gets wpmu set up for me I'll see if they can help me with this.

Just in case, Wordpress MU has been incorporated into Wordpress

Still down...
This is over it seems,

If familiar with one of his sites.. which ones were his directories?

adultblogdirectory.com is one of them.

there are a lot lot more

just let it go :2 cents:

If any of you guys need a new set up, let me know. I have one running. I usually only take friends, but I will open it up to those of you that contact me.

I've already added five people from this thread.

You've got mail. :)

fyi, i posted a list of Twans entire network of urls/sites

*****************/showthread.php?t=1692

he has a TON guys. for you bloggers, gonna be a boring ass painful time of removing all his dead sites/links from ur blogrolls :(

I also have a gay directory @ http://gaysitelist.com

thanks for all the new serp traffic! moral of the story: freeloaders always lose

No offense to to Sly, there is no reason not to trust him but you amaze me.
You just lost a lot of blogs because you host them with someone else. And what's the first thing you do? Start making blogs on someone elses server again? Really?
