Is the wonderful "Jump The Shark" website shutting down or going off line? I only ask because every time I click on a link to read feedback about a show (and ANY link, I've been trying countless all night) I get this a blank white page and this weird message:

"No web site is configured at this address."

WTF is going on? Is anyone else getting this too? How long has this been going on? Will it be fixed? Could it be happening to me because I'm an AOL user and AOL is a no good piece of sh*t?

I really hope this isn't the end of JTS! If it is not only will it be the 3rd major site that I visit to go offline in this year alone but it will also be a major loss. I love that site...it's so much fun to read other people's opinions on shows...ack this is so frustrating!

Hmmm. I just tried it, and I can't get on it at all.
Can't say I'll miss it, though. I visited a couple times but just didn't get into it.
Sorry for you though!:(

AH! NO!! I hope not! Even though its kind of an insult to it, JTS was named for Happy Days. Its an honor.:D And as much as HD is my faaaaavorite show in the whole entire world, the comments always had me laughing.

I can't imagine they are shutting the site down, it's been online a few years longer then Sitcoms Online. I'm sure they are just changing webhosts, and it is only a temporary problem. There's been no mention of it shutting down on the Jump the Shark Yahoo Group.

I love going into the Star Trek section and the Supermarket Sweep section. There were a few comments in both sections that made me die laughing.

It'd suck big time if they ever decided to shut it down.

Oh yeah, yeah. And it's all in fun. Even the creators of jumptheshark say he is a good actor. I would say it's just coincidences that his arrival on certain shows made them tank. Actually, I don't think Happy Days got bad when he was on it. I stopped liking it before his arrival. And when he came on Married With Children, I thought it wasn't as good just because I missed the old neighbor. I haven't seen him in much else, but he was cool in Revenge of the Nerds.

Yeah I know LOL I was just joking around

I agree with that. It wasnt that he was a bad actor, just came on Shows at bad times. :lol:

I personally like the last seasons just as much as the first ones.

LOL, okay. Coolies. Well anyways, I didn't want you to think I was really dissing the guy.

BTW, I always wanted to ask you this (I wish I was more tuned in to these awesome boards, but I'm not. :(), but you have another screen name on here, right? Maybe I am just mixing you up with someone else... (I know you used to be TheFonz, before some of you added "King," but I'm talking about a different name also.)

Oh no, that's not what I meant. I should have just left out you being TheFonz, because it made my last post sound too :crazy:. I KNEW you were TheFonz and added "King" along with Chad Dooly (and maybe some others). I meant in addition to TheFonz, and King TheFonz, I thought you had another name... *MacGyver Gurl*. Because one time, back when she was "TheFonziscool," *MacGyver Gurl* posted something under "TheFonz" but then corrected herself in another post, saying she used the wrong name.

I just went back to that thread though and it looks like you edited it... so you and *MacGyver Gurl* are sisters?

LOL, sorry for getting so confusing.
