IAGOP.org and IowaGOP.org caucus location finder sites down

[JoelYrick]

IAGOP.org is now saying "also visit ricksantorum.com" at the top tab. It's been doing this from yesterday. Both sites are down. I also saw a report on TV that in Davenport, yesterday the GOP took a vacation from answering calls about caucus locations. Ridiculous.

That "visit ricksantorum.com" business is WRONG!!! Surely that violates something or other.

 

[specsaregood]

Yeah, perhaps somebody from IA should get on the horn with them.

Probably got hacked.

My guess is that iagop.org must be owned by someone other than the IA GOP. However, I used it a few days ago to find caucus locations, and it didn't seem to have any hint of being anything other than the Republican site. I'm going to be having to find out caucus locations today, is there a way other than contacting the campaign?

 

[tremendoustie]

It's working for me.

 

[specsaregood]

It's working for me.

screenshot it. and what ip are you getting?

 

[specsaregood]

yeah, seems to be back up now.

iagop.org does not work. It gives a message that says "server is too busy". BUT, iowagop.org DOES work, and it seems to be the official one.

EDIT: just checked out iagop.org again and it worked this time, only in the tab it says "ALSO VISIT www.RickSantorum..."

 

[JoelYrick]

I'm still trying iowagop.org, and it still isn't working.

Both appear to work, albeit both are quite slow.

On the tin side, iagop.org does say "ALSO VISIT ~ RickSantorum.com ~ Conservative Presidential Candidate" in the title, the part that shows up on your browser's tab or title window. iowagop.org does not say this.

You're right, the tab does say that ... wow.

I'm guessing a RS supporter somehow cloned the site onto his own url.

 

[cynic]

Silly question, can anyone verify that the two sites are reporting the correct caucus locations?

http://iowaforpaul.com will be up!

The HTML from the iagop.org site at 11:20AM EST:

Someone has changed the sites title tag....hmmmmm?

 

[dielivin]

http://iowagop.org/caucus/alllocations.php <-- direct link to caucus locations from iowagop.org

It is very slow.
Also, I copied everything to a txt file just in case it went down again. Should we post the txt file somewhere?

 

[brushfire]

google bomb it!

search for words "iowa" "caucus" "location"

Click on the iowaforpaul.com link in the result. Right now its at #45

Not sure if this is enough time, but right now, the rick frothtorum site is a paid ad at the top

Even lower now (than #45)
Definitely need to get it up!

 

[mosquitobite]

I don't trust other sites to give the correct location either. :/ Sorry- just don't.

Iowaforpaul.com should be the only site WE use!
