Rentmen down?

[+ poolboy48220]

I'm getting a page that looks like the domain name expired and somebody else snatched it up. Anyone else?

[m.yi]

Having the same problem.

^says it is up but I can't get to it.

It comes up for me. The Rentmen.com site, that is.

[whipped guy]

Works for me.

Works for me.

Well it works for some escorts. Example: I can view Tristan Baldwin's complete page including all his pics. Unfortunately I can't view Raul G Manzo's pics, but the rest of his page and stats are viewable. The same for several other escorts!

 

So there are some "issues" with the site.

I just checked and I get the same result as poolboy. http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/rentmen.com says it is just me. Weird.

I can get to the mobil site. But the pictures aren't loaded. They are all black blanks.

Interesting-using my phone's native internet connection, I can't get to the site. Using my wifi I can but no pictures still.

I just accessed Rentmen via the link FTM_Twink provides in his signature and had no problems. Weird.

Everything seems to be working fine now on both my PC and iPad. I guess another cyber SNAFU and we 'be been having a few of those here of late!!!!

[+ Gar1eth]

Still no pictures on my wifi.

Perhaps some kind of attack on site

 

Someone extorts money to make problem go away?

1:43 PM EST no problems on my iPhone. GPS worked fine and I was able to check out the available local talent and view all pics and stats.

I was just about the start this thread when I noticed it already was. Yeah, I'm unable to access the site as well. Everytime I experience an issue like this I can't help but think OH GOD, RB ALL OVER AGAIN! I really hope it's not the case, Rentmen is the last space that is decently managed and allows us to communicate honestly.

[bigvalboy]

Rentmen is viewable, and I can safely report, so is Mr. Baldwin, and Killian, and for me, right now, nothing else matters.

It's just the NSA upgrading their spyware on your browser.

May the gods help us if we could not view the a above mentioned guys and a few others at a moments notice!!!!

[+ Lance_Navarro]

It's back up now!

While I suspect that this is just some temporary technical glitch for some people, it does raise an interesting question. What if “the authorities” suddenly shut down RM and M4RN? It is not totally implausible, as these websites appear to have a similar business model to RB and operate in an area where the law and law enforcement standards are somewhat unclear, and perhaps shifting. People might assume that such a thing couldn’t happen based on the principal of free speech or perceived jurisdictional limitations. Or, failing that, they might assume that other sites would quickly fill the void based on simple market principles of supply and demand. But what if these assumptions prove to be invalid? I don’t know the answer, but it’s probably worth thinking about.

 

In this regard, I think it’s a safe observation to say that many people were shocked and taken by surprise at the RB take-down, including the owner and employees who were arrested. I’m sure in retrospect they wish they had questioned their own assumptions and made some contingency plans.

Actually these were my first thoughts when I simply read the title of this thread, but a temporary glitch seemed more probable. Still! As mentioned, contingency plans... and not just for Rentmen personnel... might be in order. Sorry to say...

I'm on Rentmen right now with photos, etc..... The full site

[stop]

can't access rentmen on my ipad but can on my laptop which is curious. Same wifi connection and my ipad is sitting next to my laptop right now.

 

I am sure it is user error

Shades of the Tristan Baldwin photo dilemma! I'm now convinced that either the NSA is on to us here and out to get us... or at the very least gremlins are at work simply trying to drive us all to the mad house! :confused::eek:
