Why did the URL for eplaya in the e-mail updates suddenly change from eplaya to brimstoneaws.burning.com?
Example:
http://brimstoneaws.burningman.com/view ... 6&e=713326 (mouseover to see full URL in your status bar)
is the same page as
http://eplaya.burningman.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=44554
I just got an e-mail from e-playa with the brimstoneaws link for my watched topic and had to sign in with my existing sign on to read the board (new cookie). Is this some sort of user/password fishing?

WHOA. That's a first.. straight up. I pay attention to my URL bar always, and I've NEVER seen that. Has to be a hijack site.
(I'm guessing)

Well they did recently switch to AWS, didn't they? After the new server melted on the day that tickets sold out maybe?

You're right SB, Spanky said they had migrated to AWC (Amazon Web Services) after having issues with the increased load placed on the board when tix were sold out.SnowBlind wrote:Well they did recently switch to AWS, didn't they? After the new server melted on the day that tickets sold out maybe?
Nothing to see here.
