Disney shut down Tikiman's Poly Website!!

Can I ask what is so exciting about that page? It says nothing about the Poly, it's all stuff to buy and stuff about him moving to Hawaii :confused3

You are looking at the wrong page. You need to Google Tikiman Polynesian Disney to find the correct page which is a wealth of information about the Poly.
 
I think his sight has been down for awhile...I was staying at the Poly in November and I tried several times back in October to get on and couldn't. :confused3 I think people just didn't realize it...in my opinion, it was shut down.:wizard:

No, it has not been down for awhile. As stated earlier, it goes down for a few days each month. I was just on it several days ago.
 
I found this thread much more exciting when it was a Cease and Desist rather than I've exceeded my monthly bandwidth conversation...:mad:

Yes, aren't rumors almost always more interesting than the truth.:rotfl:

Absolutely. This would have been more fun if the person who started the thread would have said they sent an assassination squad dressed as the Fab Five to Tikiman's house to shut the site down...permanently:lmao:
 
His site is a great resource for all. It would truly be a sad day if they shut him down.

I'm glad he's just out of bandwidth. :thumbsup2
 
I've had the pelasure to meet Steve and he is just as kind and helpful in person as he is online. Great guy.
 
Unfortunately bandwidth is always as issue with larger sites. Bandwidth is on a month to month thing. I know of other sites that do that also. For those of you who love his site, you may want to use that paypal donation, just like here at DIS. Running a website has a lot of issues from upgrading to monthly bandwidth exceed limits. THis is why larger websites ask for supporters. Also, when you are not viewing a website, close the window, it eats up bandwidth also ;)

I also like to go to tikiman's website
 
I'm surprised we all aren't receiving warnings for mentioning his site on here. I did so in a thread on the Resorts page a few weeks ago and received a warning.
 
This is known by all the people who have met Steve, but I feel it needs to be said again. I truthfully believe that Steve is truly one of the best persons you will ever have the chance to meet. His dedication and willingness to help people over the years with WDW and the Polynesian resort info, goes above and beyond what you would expect. His passion for the Polynesian and it's history over the years clearly shows in his website. I often gone there when feeling WDW/Polynesian withdrawals and it never fails to cheer me up.

Meeting him this past summer and all the others on that trip/fest was definitely the highlight of 2007, for me. The memories of that trip/fest and the fantastic times all who were there had, was because of his efforts. Best vacation I ever had, hands down!:thumbsup2

Jeepers. I thought we could talk about it, just not post links.

A mod told me we could talk about the UG and its website, just not post a link. So I'm assuming the same deal goes with Steve's site. But I dunno. :confused: :confused3

Hmmm ... I also thought that it was verboten to even type "Tikiman". It's good to know that we can because his website is really great. Of course, I might be a bit biased as he has pictures that I took of my Garden/Monorail view from the Aotearoa building.
 
Guess what-the site is back up and running as everyone who tried to dispel this rumor said it would be. :thumbsup2
 
This point isn't related to Tikiman's website, but rather to something someone said earlier in the thread:
Disney has taken action in the past against sites which may have infringed on their copyrights.
Including a discussion board website called the "Disney Information Station". To respect Disney's copyrights, the owner of that website changed the name and address for the website, to DISboards.com. ;)

They (and nearly all copyright owners) tend to view the "damage" caused by the infringement as worse than the "value" provided by the free advertisement.
Yes, but perhaps not in the most obvious way. By NOT taking action against an infringing website, it establishes precedent that can effectively preclude the copyright-holder taking subsequent action against ANY infringing website, one that perhaps is not of "value" and perhaps even damaging.
 
I think there is some tiki confusion. Tikiman and TikiSteve are 2 different men, 2 different sites. I see tikiman's site is back up today.

If his name were off-limits, I assume they'd ******* it out, as they did the site.

I think we need clarification.

Yeah me too. If I had gotten points I would have responsed to the PM but it was only a warning.

All I said was to google tikiman's site. :confused3
