Default Builders log site problem?

Looks like Expercraft.Com has been "down for maintenance" for about a week now, that's where my log is. Anybody talked to them? Do we know if/when they are coming back online?

This is why I finally took about a week and created the "holy grail" massive printed project log just for cases like this..I hope they can get it worked out.

Default Expercraft site down?

He folks,
I tried to log in to Expercraft last night to update my project and received a message saying it was undergoing maintenance. Just tried to log in again tonight and it is STILL undergoing maintenance. Anyone have any background info on when it might be back up?
Thanks!

If you look around in the command structure of expercraft you will find a command to print the site. Obviously will be a bazzillion pages that nobody wants to do. If you don't have a free "pdf printer" installed on your computer, google and get one such as PDF Creator. Chose to print expercraft and sent it to the PDF printer and you have a massive PDF file with all of it in date order.

Its a good backup and useful for presentation to FSDO or DAR.

Right, but I am not at a point where I need to have a PDF of the project. But I guess now I know I should be offloading my blog every so often in the case this happens.
What concerns me is how the entire site is offline and there is no additional info at all to paying customers. That's really lame.
