EFiX site down?

[tbob]

I have an efi-x PC that has been running 10.5 fairly well for about 9 months now. I ran into some problems a few days ago with the firmware. Was going to send back to expresshd.com for reflashing (there's no Windows-side utility to fix your own firmware if it goes corrupt - ugh!).

Unfortunately, www.Efi-x.com and its forum have been down since yesterday -- anyone know anything about that? Could be anything from scheduled maintenance to a suit from Apple... just never seen it down for this long before.

I was wondering about that too.

I'll put $5 on "gone out of business and have run away".

Yeah, I put $189.99 on "gonna be around long enough to keep their firmware updated." It's been a good 9-month run so far. Hoping the fun continues so I don't have to become Captain Kext.

Site is back up today, but the forum continues to be down. Those guys are kind of crazy about their forum, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a complete overhaul happening. There's been very limited search functionality, so they end up getting a lot of redundant posts. The moderators berate people about it, and delete posts left and right. There's a disorganized string of FAQs and required reading, but then noobs get humiliated for not reading every last detail.

Thanks, Anandtech for being completely reasonable people!

They're back up again. No explanation for the outing -- but they're hiring!
