This is why I absolutely hate topics like this. Asking if anybody has any information about a down site is certainly valid. What isn't are the people posting theories and speculation and winding themselves up. It serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever and can actually damage a business by doing this.

It took me all of 8 seconds to find the phone number for Kult of Athena, another 20 seconds to give them a call, and now will take about 2 minutes for me to type up this response and hopefully end this absurd topic once and for all.

Kult of Athena can be reached at this phone number: 1-847-531-8664

They are currently having an issue with their Web hosting and hope that they can get their site back up within the week. It's a technical problem. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Issue solved. Move on.

In the future, those who have no real, verifiable information are asked to stop participating in topics like this. It doesn't help anyone, serves no purpose, and causes potential damage.

Thank you.

I am in no way related to them but here...

Per kultofathena.com:
We are currently recovering from a Catastrophic server failure. Please pardon our dust as we get things back to normal. Ordering is working, but some pages do not work yet. Also much of the product data is missing, short of the names and prices. Feel free to place an order if you can find what you are looking for. To assist in this you can use the links above to see all of our products on one page. This way you can search the grid using your browser's "find" button. If you have a fast connection the version with thumbnails loads pretty quickly, for slower connections you may want to use the list without thumbnails.

NEW TONIGHT-- We know this is a less than optimum way to shop, so as an incentive, we are offering free US shipping on web orders over $100. Canadian Orders will have a flat $20 shipping cost. We regret that we can not offer this deal to our other international customers, but we will have a special deal you can take advantage of when we get back to full working order. We hope to have things back to full working order soon. Also if you've had problems reaching us by email, please try this email address kultofathena@sbcglobal.net. Our mail servers are moving to a new host so some emails may have been lost.

On January 8, 2010 I called KOA and ordered something over the phone, I'd tried to order it online but I didn't have confidence that the computerized ordering process was working correctly. My phone order experience was perfectly fine and the person I dealt with was knowledgeable and friendly. He confirmed that they had had a major server melt down and were working hard to get back on-line. In any case, I was pleased to see that I received UPS shipping confirmation of my order on the same day I placed my order. I am, according to UPS, likely to receive my order on January 13, 2010.


Everything is not peaches and cream at Kult of Athena but they're still doing business and addressing their computer problem.

I'll write when I take delivery of my order.

Ordered a butt cap, sword belt and a GDFB barbute helm on Monday, it shipped on Tuesday and it's currently on the postal truck as in " OUT FOR DELIVER " as I type this ....... normally should be here later today.

1) Kult of Athena's usual excellent and fast customer service.

2) For some odd reason USPS / CANADA POST + Canada Customs clearance all being " efficient " all at the same time !

Oh, and the KoA site seems to be back to 100% functionality including the " New in Stock " page that seemed the last thing to get back to functionality.
