A BAD DAY FOR VENTNOR BLOG
AFTER reporting problems with the site a couple of days ago it appears Ventnor Blog has been hit hard and taken off-line.
Simon and Sally perry owners of the Blog have been working very hard to keep the site online but have been forced to close it down for much needed maintenance.
DANGER TO READERS?
The Gazette has heard that a virus or some sort of maliware may of infected the site and caused problems for the site owners. The website is now shut down to the public and is displaying the following message:
There is going to be a break in service today while we sort out some of the gubbins of the VB back-end. We normally do this kind of thing in the wee small hours, but today it has not worked out like that. We will be back as soon as we can be.
We know how hard it is for media on the Isle of Wight and hope they can get back up and running again soon/

Two days, is that all it is? It seems an eternity, god I miss them so much!
I stare at the ground in solemn contemplation as the haunting words of that old Joni Mitchell song echo through the deepest recesses of my mind, lamenting their absence…
“You don’t know what you’ve got till its gone”
I wonder if the domains up for sale?
We could build a spoof site, it’d be a good laugh
Their site is down again.
First it was showing as an attack page warning: http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/yy90/wightspymaster/vb1.png
And now, according to them, its down for site maintenance…again!
I wouldn’t consider looking at their site without using a sandboxed browser but I’m now in the process of scanning with Malwarebytes as well, just to be on the safe side.
High time they got their act together given all the money they are making out of us.
Don’t worry they will be back , take at look at WightBlog in the mean time.
