Does anyone know for SURE? Is it down for ever or just in a slump that's been raging for several weeks? It was an awesome tool, hate to see it down for so long They shouldn't really blame it on "system maintenance" lol I've tried to cover this issue, and suggested a couple of free alternatives too. Pingoat, has gone to the slaughter house? THE QUESTION; Will the GOAT Return?
Yeah, I was really bummed out also and am not sure if it is permanently gone or not (hopefully not), so I did a post on my blog with additional pinging resources (probably much like yours) here - Pinging Resources.
hey that's a nice collection of pinging services, I've bookmarked a few and we'll check them out soon Hopefully Pingoat shall return but if it doesn't, I'm thinking of going with Ping-O-Matic, as it seems the next best option..
I too, noticed that Pingoat has been down for quite awhile now, and also that recently when it was working that many of the blog sites failed when pinged. I have recently started using BlogBuzzer.com to ping my blog and have used the automatic pinging through their "Auto Buzzer"
