Status of BoguBag?

[rckenshi]

Does anyone know the status of BoguBag.com?

I know (as explained on the home page of their website) for the last several months they have been on temproary closure while they caught up on backorders. However, for the last week or so my link doesn't even turn up their home page. Has BoguBag closed for good? I would hate for that to happen since my dealings with Stroud-sensei have been nothing but positive. Anyone from the PNKF (or anyone else who knows) care to shed some light on this mystery?

Thanks,

rckenshi

I checked a couple weeks ago and it looked like they were back up and running. I really hope they're not done for good. I bought my first everything from them (shinai, bokuto, hakama, gi, bogu). I'll double check when I get home but I'm fairly certain that they're still around.

it doesn't look like a regular 504 page somehowError pages are all customizable, most just don't do much with them. I noticed this Saturday. I was tempted to start a thread and ask, but it could just be a web server glitch, account transition, DNS change, etc..

It's not all that uncommon to see a site vaporize for a 2-5 days. Especially, when it's not a high profile or big company site. Hopefully, that's all it is...

The bogubag site is back up - but he's still in the temporary shutdown mode...

So, all you rich-boy show-offs cannot buy any Koei rich-boy show-off bogu.

I totally dislike rich-boy show-offs and their bogu...

...and yet...

...I want it...

...then, if I had it, I would delicately sashay around the dojo, and some beginner would come up to me and complement me on my bogu and I would just say, 'Thank you, but it's nothing fancy'...

...and yet...

...deep, deep down in the inner most parts of my soul, I know that I am blatantly flaunting a fancy-pants, hand-stitched, K-10 bogu with custom nouai ginnannuri 60 piece bamboo do. At that point, I would explode into a special happy dance singing "Look at me... I've got fancy bogu..."

Then I think I would go for a Chiba's mine bogu after reading some of the reviews.

When will the site be back in business again?
