Wayne Dowler Posted June 3, 2016 Report Posted June 3, 2016 Not sure of how many of you have tried to use it today, but it seems like a change is happening over there. I can't find any access to their forum! Looks like they have some history, tutorials, and one giant cart system setup. Many of their lines of kites either are missing or have been discontinued. If you have it bookmarked, it takes you to their site - but not the old revkites.com - but something new. I signed up just to check it out - IMHO - yuk!! Quote
RaginCajun Posted June 3, 2016 Report Posted June 3, 2016 I only checked it out on mobile, but it looks like Rev is modernizing their website. Good for them, it's about time. Quote
John Barresi Posted June 4, 2016 Report Posted June 4, 2016 Ok, http://www.revkites.net should give you the old pages, fully working? 1 Quote
DeafThunder Posted June 4, 2016 Report Posted June 4, 2016 just add /forum to it ... http://www.revkites.net/forum/ Quote
John Barresi Posted June 4, 2016 Report Posted June 4, 2016 Indeed - all (original) permutations of .com should now work on .net, including menu links on the older pages (like forum). 1 Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted August 6, 2016 Author Report Posted August 6, 2016 Latest update - Anyone else unable to get on Rev's forum? Getting a "404" error code. Had it bookmarked directly to the forum - no hookup. Don't have the address of the "new" Rev page to see if going to "community" will help. Anyone else experiencing issues? Quote
RaginCajun Posted August 6, 2016 Report Posted August 6, 2016 Yeah, it's gone. But, it will return soon, but at a different location. Quote
John Barresi Posted August 6, 2016 Report Posted August 6, 2016 As of today (and after almost 10 years), KiteLife is no longer handling any of Revoution's web services - the old info site (revkites.net) is working on their new server, but I think they may be having some problems getting the forum (revkites.net/forum) to operate on their new server. I'm as much in the dark as you are, and it's nice. 1 Quote
photomom Posted August 6, 2016 Report Posted August 6, 2016 I'm not privy to all that's been occurring behind the scenes but I get a sense of relief on your part. KiteLife is a much better place to be and I thank you for maintaining it for all of us. It is a safe place to talk, debate and vent. And although it is predominately attended by guys, I feel like I fit in. That means more to me than you can know. 6 Quote
SHBKF Posted August 6, 2016 Report Posted August 6, 2016 Did my best, tried extra hard to be graceful. Left everything done as best I could. Said my good byes. Already had the jalopy pointed toward the exit when I got in gritted my teeth & grinned. A giggle slipped out. Then I laid rubber all the way out. That's how I did it. Never looked back. Guess a little redneck leaked out..... Best Wishes, SHBKF 3 Quote

makatakam Posted August 7, 2016 Report Posted August 7, 2016 It is a damn good-lookin' and stylish 404! I like the carbon-fiber look of it. Quote

Judging by the number of broken or incorrect objects on their main page (that have remained that way since it started) .... I am not expecting to see much activity going on there. Considering the state of communication I have seen to date, I'm going to call this as SNAFU 2 Quote

John Barresi Posted August 27, 2016 Report Posted August 27, 2016 Aye, no longer in my hands - @monkey has taken over administration of that forum in the interest of preserving all that great info. Quote

riffclown Posted September 4, 2016 Report Posted September 4, 2016 While there is some great info there, I personally feel the environment is more open and productive here. 4 Quote
