From Reddit: client hold This status code tells your domain's registry to not activate your domain in the DNS and as a consequence, it will not resolve. It is an uncommon status that is usually enacted during legal disputes, non-payment, or when your domain is subject to deletion.

 Did someone forget to send the check?

Very Scary: None of the PinkBike (or Brain) employees have jumped onto Facebook or Instagram and said "hey guys, sorry about the Certificate being expired, we are working on it now" . Instead......absolute silence

I don’t go to that site often, but when I saw this thread discussing it I went over there and never had any issues with it opening.

You can open it right now? Seems like there is some weirdness going on with their registrar then. Here is what you get when you look up the domain in icann:

Name: PINKBIKE.COM

Registry Domain ID: 18882149_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN

Domain Status:

clientHold

clientTransferProhibited

If you update your hosts file to the below, you can access.

If you dont know what a host file is, then I suggest not doing  anything until it comes back online.

 

198.90.5.100    www.pinkbike.com

Pinkbike is having a very unusual problem with it's domain registrar. None of us have seen this problem before. Depending on your ISP and their DNS caching the site may still work for some users. Or maybe the US gov shadow banned PB cause Levy went to deep into the UFO hole!

More related to the skinny tires and spandex side of cycling, but looks like Cycling Tips is on the deathbed. 
Forum and comment section got shut down, and the recent articles aren’t really up to date. 
 

There’s an article that says they’re moving CT to a different platform, but with the apparent member exodus I doubt a new site is going to be more successful. 
 

just another reminder that Robin Thurston is a little shitstain that shouldn’t be welcome in any bicycle community, CT went down the drain FAST after the outside buyout.

It's a shame...

CT was quite good when I first discovered it a few years ago, and Robin has done a number on it.  Fortunately, some of the ex employees are looking to launch a new platform.   Wondering what will come of the ex-Beta peeps.  Tho Travis lives on via re-cycled articles on PB.
