I don't remember his last name) hasn't been around for a while, and no one has been able to contact him. I'm a moderator on the site, but I'm not different in this regard than the rest of you - NXTasy may be gone for good. Rats. Suggestions? -- -- Brian Davis

Losing the site would be a tragedy not just because it is a great place to get answers from the people who really know, but also because of all the answers and solutions that can be found on the forum. Alternatives? The NXT STEP would have to undergo some thorough changes to take over what NXTasy would leave behind. Maybe LUGNET could regain some of its prominence... Jetro

The "Internet Archive Wayback Machine" at least has some pages from Nxtasy, between July '06 and April '08: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.nxtasy.org Hope that helps somewhat. :-/ Ttfn, Tony

APlus.net appears to be the hosting company. They have undergone a big upgrade of hosted sites which may be the root cause for the site being down. Eric Salinas is the owner of the site but there has got to be a way to get whatever is causing the outage fixed. I have emailed APlus a couple of times and will try calling their technical support line. Guy Ziv should be involved as he is the defacto site owner with Eric essentially unreachable. But APlus should have a way to contact Eric and there should be some way to transfer ownership of the site, if necessary, to another individual. John Hansen

Infrared Tower Refuses to Communicate with or Detect RCX

Hello everyone, I have had my RIS 2.0 for about 6 or so years. At the time I purchased it, my skills were not sufficient to realize the true potential of the system, and I never did anything advanced with it. Just a few days ago, I dug up my RCX and sensors, deciding to give it another shot, utilizing the new skills and patience I have gained in the past years.I installed the RIS 2.0 CD on my new computer of one year, downloaded and installed the tower 164 driver, XP patch, and the multi-core patch. Alas, the program worked, but when it came time to install the firmware, the tower did not detect the RCX, no matter what I did. I restarted, and program would not launch at all! After going through the steps outlined http://old.nabble.com/Asking-for-RIS-2.0-patch-under-Windows-XP-td18298813.html here I managed to get the program working again, but the tower still refused to detect the RCX. I have tried every distance, every USB port, and even turned off all the fluorescent lights. Still no joy. This SHOULD be working! I have tried every possible patch, nothing works. I have a Q6600 quad core, could that be causing the problem, even after installing the multi-core patch? Please help, I would really like to get back into using the RIS! -- -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Infrared-Tower-Refuses-to-Communicate-with-or-Detect-RCX-tp26353208p26353208.html Sent from the LEGO Robotics mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

To me all forums look empty and the search function says it's been disabled. If there are server problems or maintenance is being performed, maybe something could be put on the NXTasy blog to inform users of these issues... Jetro
