"Rob's website is gone" |
I'd been checking it periodically, and as late as last week it was still up with the pictures and the "under construction...stay tuned" message. I just checked and it's vanished. Preparing for an imminent relaunching, perhaps? "I cannot do any publicity until my demise on the show." http://www.therobshow.com/

Perhaps, in fact very likely. I still don't think it is this week though. Got to give him time for getting the site set up and then getting shots from the next episode or 2, including his torch being snuffed.He also has to set up his links to www.naturallymanmade.com, www.drunkfatgirls.com, and www.lumberjackbabes.org.

There was a bunch of stuff on the site originally, which I should think would be relatively easy to put back up. I'm pretty sure I logged onto it last Wednesday or Thursday, so it could be down for almost a week now.

I thought of that too. I know nothing about the logistics and timeframe it takes to set up a website. But since it was already designed and it was operational for awhile, I figured it shouldn't take long to get it back up and running -- it wasn't a very complex site. And he's probably been thinking about what to do with it for awhile, so...

LAST EDITED ON 04-23-03 AT 09:45 PM (EST)I work for web site design company so maybe I can give some insight? There is no reason for any web site to be down for any length of time in order to make changes to it. Files can be revised before they are uploaded to the server to go live. There must be some other explanation for the site being down. Bingo! I just checked the Whois http://www.webnames.ca/whois.asp?wsID=C693AB2B1D3D4E40B29582473FF62690&domain=therobshow.com&luo=1 for his domain name (therobshow.com)and discovered that it expired on April 10, 2003. There's often a bit of lag with the Whois info so he may be in the process of renewing however this would explain why his site is no longer available. Its a necessary link in the "chain" of the web site = Internet.

There's often a bit of lag with the Whois infoDoes this mean the site could have remained up past the April 10th expiration date? Unfortunately it is no longer in my cache, but I definitely logged onto it late last week, on the 16th or 17th.

>--thinks someone should have told Rob that all those pictures of him at the top of the page are really ugly Considering the subject matter, there may not have been a lot of choices that would be much better.

Yes, Misto, this is the same page that was up along after he removed the actual contents. The soundboard thing was there, too, though I never made an attempt to figure out what it is.

You press a button, then it plays the sound. At least it did the time I tried it. Not sure what the point is, though...

I generally haven't paid alot of attention to the contestants' websites (from S1 all the way through till now), but do they normally have websites up during the game? I would think that would be one of the first things CBS would make them do - take down any personal websites till after the finale airs. My guess is that would be right up there with "You can't fly home after you get booted, even if you're first off".Sorry if this has been addressed before, but as I said, I never paid much attention to the contestants' websites (I'm online far too much with the fan websites, LOL!!) "His name is Blane??? That's a major appliance, that's not a name!!"

LAST EDITED ON 04-24-03 AT 04:07 PM (EST)I would think that would be one of the first things CBS would make them do - take down any personal websites till after the finale airs I think that's what happened, PIP. The weight loss spoiler pics of Rob that were circulating came from his website, which was up before the show started airing. Very shortly thereafter, the site was emptied of all its contents, and the "under construction" message has been up ever since.

The domain was registered by Rob in April 2002. Would he have known then that he would be on Survivor? I wonder what MB's policy is for that. Maybe he WAS told to take it down...but why so late in the show? I find it very curious that this week (of all weeks) the site was replaced with an "Under Construction" page. Curioser and curiouser.

I find it very curious that this week (of all weeks) the site was replaced with an "Under Construction" page. Curioser and curiouser.It wasn't, Krendie -- see my response to Pretty in Pink above. This past week was the first time that the site went down altogether, as far as I could tell, since I'd logged in every so often and the "Under Construction" page was always up. The stuff that was on the site originally had nothing to do with Survivor. But there were some casual pictures of Rob taken in December, after he got back, that triggered all the weight loss speculation. I believe he WAS told by CBS to remove everything from the site at that point.
