    I'm seeing the same Masetek Medi as well. I'm sure it will be fixed soon though.

    Masetek Media is the owner of directorycritic.

    It was a beautiful free directory resource, wonder what the owner is doing with it!
    And what about all the sitewides that people have in it?

    Hi guys,

    About 6 hours ago the hard drive on my server failed, resulting in almost a complete loss of everything. I am working with the admin guys right now on getting everything back up again. You'll see some weird stuff for a while, until we get everything sorted out (like old version of my media site lol).

    There will be some data lost, about 3-4 days. Some people have already emailed me asking where their dirs they have recently submitted have disappeared to. I am working though the night to get everything back up again, but please bear with me.

    For those who submitted recently, I'll post on my blog with instructions of what to do to get your sites back up again.

    Thanks for your patience, things will be back to normal soon :)

    Wishing your site a speedy recovery Masetek, let know soon via your blog how to proceed for recent submitted listings since I have one.

    Good to see that Directory Critic is back in action. :)

    Thanks guys :)

    http://www.directorycritic.com/blog/

    If you submitted a directory after the 13th of September please resubmit it now and I'll get it back up on the site.

    The site is still not 100%, should be right within 24 hours.

    Thanks for your patience :)
