Oh dearie, dearie me.

ezboard, Inc. recently closed its Yuku Help [sic] Forums and changed to a second FAQ system instead in addition to its FAQ section.

Brian James/regimemachine/Reg has posted (and edited 6 times already) in “The Lobby” despite saying that that sub-domain is not checked by developers like himself for issues. He also says that all “unrelevant” [sic] posts will be deleted at their discretion.

He then goes on to say:

“If you have an idea or a suggestion email us at: support@ezboard.com (which is also at the feedback link in the footer)”

And yes, he’s quite right that that e-mail link is in the footer of every Yuku sub-domain page.

Pity then there have been some recent reports going back a couple of weeks like this one showing that e-mails to support@ezboard.com are being rejected.

Surely not? Well yes, actually:

Getting MX record for ezboard.com (from local DNS server, may be cached)… Got it! 

Step 1: Try connecting to all of these (in the order as returned by the DNS resolver, per RFC1123 5.3.4):
sitemail.everyone.net. - 216.200.145.35
sitemail.everyone.net. - 216.200.145.51
sitemail.everyone.net. - 209.249.170.32
sitemail.everyone.net. - 209.249.170.33Step 2: If unsuccessful in step 1, try connecting to the following mailserver:
h23.ezboard.com. - 204.11.107.23Step 3: If unsuccessful in step 2, try connecting to the following mailserver:
h24.ezboard.com. - 204.11.107.24Step 4: If unsuccessful in step 3, try connecting to the following mailserver:
h20.yuku.com. - 204.11.107.20Step 5: If still unsuccessful, queue the E-mail for later delivery.

Oh dear! Oh and who’s on the Board of Directors of Everyone.net? Why, that would be Sean Foote who’s also on ezboard’s Board of Directors.
