Where's the Kel-tec site?

The primary name servers (ns1.bettercgi.com & ns2.bettercgi.com) for their domain are not responding. Don't know who manages/maintains them ...

Loanshark: I believe Mousegun was just making a joke, referring to the line of SKYY pistols that some people see as a viable alternative to kel-tec products.

Or he could be referring to Skyy pistols being a blatant Kel-Tec rip-off, with poorer quality, and a president/owner who trolled internet forums pretending to be a "satisfied customer", and was later outed as a shill. :)
 
Until I opened this thread, I never even heard of Skyy pistols. Does anybody who doesn't work for a gunrag have any experience with one? With the safety and such, it looks like a more complex version of the PF9. Since it has true DAO (with the dubious second strike capability), it would almost certainly have a heavier trigger than the PF9. Still, if anybody can give real world data on one, I'm interested.
 
The Skyy VP was first outed publicly on KTOG.
When / if KTOG comes back up, you can read all the details.

It was truly a massive planned deception, and in my opinion, the company should be permanently boycotted if the people who run the company have no more personal integrity or business ethics then they demonstrated early on.

I for one will never believe anything else they ever have to say!

Site still not up AND it's been taken over by some shopping site, HORRID! That site had a LOT of good info. Hope it makes it back.
 
Looks like someone let their domain name registration expire. :banghead:

With any luck they will come up with a new name (or scare the squater off with legal threats) and be back up before too long.
 
Here's why it was down:

Hackers took down the whole server last weekend,
gaining full administrative access to the system.
No files on the server could be trusted after that,
so I started over with a new installation of the operating
system and restored everything from trusted backups.

Did you look at the WHOIS information to see when the domain expired or did you just feel like starting a rumor? It seems kind of silly to say that they let their registration expire when it takes less than 30 seconds to verify something like that.
 
That seems to be typically. Every time a company's website is down for any length of time someone says or questions whether they're out of business.
 
wow..... what's up with hackers targeting gun forums?

then again it could just be them targeting any vulnerable server.

Bingo. The software they are running has known exploits. All you have to do is search for the "Powered by" for the right version, then hit it with the exploit. It almost never has anything to do with the content of board, just the fact they happen to be running insecure software and show up in a search.
 
Why don't they remove the "powered by" footer and remove the meta tag that tells the version?

Could even go further since it has a search function - add a robots.txt that blocks everything except the main index, add some bot traps, and ban bad bots.

I'm no expert though. It's just a thought.

Some administrators actually do go so far as to do that. I think its very prudent to not advertise what you're running on a server, but its usually the default configuration.

It is also usually in the license agreement that you keep it in there unless you pay extra to remove it.
